1. VE: DH
Hello Everyone,
I am actually getting somewhere with my "Decision Helper" program
(windows version). Don't know if anyone cares but I got the first form
nearly working. As I mentioned once I'm writing it using Daniel
Berstein's Visual Euphoria. I have a few problems:
The first form has a "listbox" and when I push the "add" button, I
want the focus to go back to the "EDIT" box so that the user can
continue typing instead of having to click again or hit tab. Also, is
there a way to change colors of controls or at least draw colored shapes
(rectangles specifically)? Also, (the main thing) How do I get the list
into a sequence without complicated errorchecking and "for" loops? Is
there a way to find out how many ITEMS are in the list?
Any help would be appreciated.

I have VE development "idle" for some time... I'll soon update it.
Currently you can't set controls focus, nor changing colors or fonts.
I'll add a function to get items count on list&combo boxes. There some
problems with REMOVEITEM and I don't like the current implementation
of GETITEM neither. A basic shape control shall be added too (rectangle,
circle, triangle). If possible some basic drawing surface will be provided.
Because these "enhancements" I'll probably have to the change the ultra
simplistic & generic SetAttribute and GetAttribute. I think there'll be
specific routines for each "area of interface": Text, position, etc. I'll
try
to keep it as simple as posible.
