Hi all,
Since I probably won't have an official release until sometime in the
middle of October, I decided to make my latest effort available as a
"Bleeding Edge" release. This version is currently available on my WEB site
and appears to be quite stable:
This experimental version includes enhancements to the ShowDialog command
featuring "file filtering" in the OpenDialog and SaveDialog functions.
Modal and NonModal attributes have been added to the ShowForm procedure. A
wealth of Drawing features have been added, including predefined, but
flexible, shapes, and freehand graphics, including Arc, Pie, Lines,
Ellipse, Fill and FloodFill, etc. I have also added the Print function to
the RichEditor Control. The only thing missing is updated documentation,
although I've included a Doc file containing an overview of each change.
Also, the include file is NOT STAMPED in this experimental version, which
might make it somewhat difficult for those people using the public domain
version of Euphoria.
I hope you'll check it out.
Have fun... Gary.

Heh, what a coincidence, I was just working on a program
I am writing with VEL and I decided to download the
bleeding edge version (which I hadn't yet) to see if it
would eradicate a bug I had discovered in it. So I did
and it did but I burnt myself by not reading the
documentation when I discovered the new MODAL part.
Well, it looks like you've done a good job as usual Gary.
Is the library's developement active once more?
later,
Lewis Townsend

Great! I was hoping you'd add file filtering to the open dialog.
BTW, what is 'modal'? I've seen that a lot with regard to windows...modal
and nonmodal windows.
Thanks,
Ben

sometimes work a program out of 'em.

Modal dialogs sit on top of the application and will NOT go away until
either the user does something (such as pressing "cancel" or entering data
and pressing "OK" for instance).
Modeless dialogs pop up and let the user continue using the application (or
other applications) while it is displayed. It will allow other windows to
become "current" and it will fade into the background for the time being.
