1. Tips and Tricks for XP to 7'

Hello Everybody,

I would like to see a 'Tips and Tricks for converting XP to Windows 7' in the Archives or somewhere.

I know I have had at least two issues that I have found the solutions for.

And I see other people are also having problems. Perhaps if we had a place to post these solutions it would be good.

I don't think you can. You have to buy the new OS, or a new computer with it already on it.

Sorry Signor,

For this belated reply.

I cannot figure out how to work this Wiki.

One thing I figured out is when switching from 3.1 to 4 or switching from XP to Windows 7 changing the file extention from .ex to .exw works in most cases.

Derek,

What I want to do is start a new thread (or whatever it's called in Wiki) named "Tips and Tricks for XL to Windows 7"

This would be a list of code used for this purpose.

For example here's one I wrote:

global procedure adjForWindows7(integer id)--adjust the window 
   sequence s 
   integer h 
       s = getRect( id ) 
       h=s[4]-s[1] 
       h=floor(h+h*.06) 
       setRect(id,s[1],--left 
             s[2],--top 
             s[3]-s[1],--width  
             h,--height 
             1) 
end procedure 

Other people could add to this as we move along.

Don,

I added a page to the Wiki home, down near the bottom by "Sandbox", named "Adding to this Wiki", which, if what I did is correct, might explain how to begin to do what you want, I hope. If it's all wrong, then someone please erase the link &/or the page, or replace it with something better!

Not sure where in the Wiki you might have wanted to put your 'Tips and Tricks for converting XP to Windows 7', or I'd have made a page/link for you.

Ok, done: http://openeuphoria.org/wiki/view/TipsAndTricksXpToWindows7.wc

oh, and I put the link to it on the main page of the wiki, down at the very bottom; if that's not a good place, I assume someone will move it to where it might be more appropriate.

Thank you Dan,

That's working good and fine. I even added the first Tip.
