1. Odd EuIDE problem
Installed EuIDE on my laptop and on a flash drive.
Flash drive works fine, except I had one dialog box that would not close no
matter what I did.
Laptop.... not so much. It won't respond to events. I can click on a menu -
nothing happens. I can click on a button, nothing happens. The only events it
will respond to are window max, window min, and window close.
Any ideas?
Also, the documentation on the modular stuff is pretty confusing. I'm not quite
sure what you use the code editor or modules for. Can someone give me a 2 line
summary?
Thanks.

Are you speaking of euVide, the Enhanced IDE with installer Andy supplies? What
version of Windows[tm] do you use?
Which dialog box would not close?
Code Editor is the place you attach program code for active control and selected
event or edit stand alone files, such as .ew files, via clicking Menu Modules.

It happens for EuVide, IDE .21, and IDE .22.
I don't remember which dialog wouldn't close - one of the ones in the code
editor, but I haven't been able to duplicate the problem so I'm not worrying
about it, probably a resource problem on my end?
So if I modularize my code into a bunch of .ew files, I use the code editor to
make sure the IDE recognizes it? Why won't it let me save the code then?
Thanks.

Are you clicking on IDE.exe or IDE.exw? When you use EuVide download then you
click IDE.exe. I think Andy has IDE.exw for reference. When you download Enhanced
IDE you also need to download IDEwin32lib.zip and place in your IDE folder. Some
can get by using Win32lib v60.6 but most need the IDEWin32lib version with
contains some win32lib fixes made by Sascha Zindel.
If you have your code in .ew files IDE will not know you have done that unless
you use ManageIncludeStatements (ctrl-A) and add them to your project. Those
statements are added at the top of the generated exw. If you want the .ew
statments added after the createEx statements then you would add the statements
include whatever.ew in Code Editor for your main window control and General
event. Just opening whatever.ew file via Modules does not add to the project. An
exception to that is when you SaveAs an .ew file while in Code Editor, you will
be asked if you want to add to the project. What that does is add the saved file
name to ManageIncludeStatements for you.
If you project still does not run and you get an ex.err I can help you more. If
IDE gives you an error and will not produce the generated exw and gives you an
error message I need to know what that message says.

Yes, I know. Did this. I finally got EuVide to run by moving it into the IDE
folder.

This I did not know. That may be the problem.

Yes, done.

Thanks, I think I understand that. I'm going to play with it some over the next
few weeks and see if I have any problems. I may be able to rewrite some of the
documentation to fill it out a little. It's not bad, just a bit telegraphic.
Might help to throw in some of the idea behind it, or maybe a written tutorial.
I may write something up.
