I have been writing dos euphoria programs for a couple of years now. I
have used the euphoria language for a couple of projects I received at
work but mostly I write programs as a hobby. I have written a fairly
complex program that tracks fundamental and technical data for stocks.
The program looks for repeatable patterns in past stock data then it ranks
the stocks based on which stocks it thinks has the best chance of moving
higher. I am wanting to convert the program from a dos based program to
a windows based program. I have downloaded win32lib and Judith Evans IDE.
The win32lib demo programs work fine but when I try to use the IDE I can
not add any controls to window1. It seems like the program is not
responding like it should. I am using windows XP. Does the IDE program
work on windows XP? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

I have had no trouble on XP. Make sure you have all the latest
versions, and that IDE is using a new version of Win32Lib,
not an old one hidden somewere.

Thanks for the reply. I am using version 0.60.6 of the win32lib and
version 0.18.22 for the IDE. At first things were not responding to
my request. It would not let me maximize the form design window.
I just tabbed back to the IDE program to see which version it was
and it started working. It is now letting me add controls to the
window but it freezes from time to time. It seems to be an intermittent
problem.

Dan,
You're not alone! I am having the same problems (both on XP Pro and XP
Home). What I found works is clicking the divider bar in the properties
window (which lets you adjust the width of the two columns) and that
seems to let me place new controls in a window.

I am using the versions as Dan, and doing what Jonas says about clicking the
divider, it seems any time I go into one of the editors or something this
problem occurs, seems to be after the main window loses focus maybe?
When someone comes back to the main window, maybe it needs to set the focus
on the main form or something....
Another problem I have is I used the bindw from 2.4 to bind the IDE into an
executable file, don't know if this is the problem or not, but I had added
a lable to window1 then added a text box, if I click on the text box and then
hit the delete key it would delete, but when I tried to delete the label it
would freeze up the IDE and eventually go to not responding, and slow down
my computer to the point where I would have to reboot. I also tried to delete
the label first when I came back in and the same thing happened.
If I used the tree view on the left and clicked on the control name then
pressed delete that worked fine.
Actually, I added the text box first then the label if that makes any difference
at all.
Anyone else having these difficulties?
Later.
