1. RE: Question RE: IDE
CK,
The way I understand things, when you write a program with the IDE the
changes are actually written to the .prj file for your program. I think
that the .exw is written based on what's in the .prj. So if you were to
make changes to the exw in another editor and then open your program
again in the IDE, it reads the unchanged .prj file. And if you save
again in the IDE it will overwrite your exw with the original .prj file.
I'm not sure if this is exactly Kosher, but it seems to me that I've
changed the .prj in ED and the changes stuck.

I get this request a lot and I have tried to provide it. However, there
are so many situations that IDE does not yet handle that the method does
not work. Case in point is negative X, Y values for offscreen Pixmap and
other controls. Also win32lib now lets user create the controls with
non-numeric x,y,xc,cy and IDE would crash with that. I'm working on
non-numeric and negative x,y but progress is slow. I probably could get
around these for exw written from IDE but somebody will certainly want
to load an exw file they wrote without using IDE.
If anyone wanst to tackle the job of writing a program to update IDE,
pease feel free to do so. It sure won't hurt my feelings. What you would
have to do is create the PRJ file or a sequence that has a certain
format. I can provide the sequence since the PRJ file creates it
internally in IDE.

Well, I missed that deadline, didn't I? <hehe>
