1. Visual Win32lib 0.5 has been released!
Come and get it!
http://vis.server101.com/visualwin32lib
You'll be amazed at what now works!
Code editing
Native exw load and save
Toolbar
Dynamic running
List and combo editor
More stable
SLEs now properly defined
New control type: Label (LText)
Loading any .exw created in Visual Win32lib should be fine, but loading
non-trivial hand written programs may require some tweaking (see the
readme).
Merry Christmas (or Merry Boxing Day for you people in Australia and
Japan for whom this is a bit late!) - don't get too drunk!

p.s. If you are loading files from an old version you'll need to change
the combo definitions from 'Combo' to 'DropDownList' and the SLE
definitions that you want to be SLEs rather than Labels from 'LText' to
'EditText'
2. Re: Visual Win32lib 0.5 has been released!
Stephen,
Thank You! Visual Win32lib is most excellent! Of course though, I do have
a wish list of things to fix/improve for the next release. Foremost is
paramatized procedures/functions. Win32lib (12/24/1998) chokes on an
onClick event if 2 integers not passed, and it is obnoxious to go back in
after the fact and code those by hand. On the static text control, it
would be great to have the option to make it LTEXT, RTEXT, or CTEXT.
Lastly, it would be nice if the "SAVE AS" option remembered the last
directory path used, so you didn't have to re-select it if you wanted to
change the filename.
I've been using it since it was released on Thursday, and it's great! I
hope you will consider these requests as constructive criticism, as that's
how they're meant :) Thanks again for VW32lib!

Where would any good programming-related e-mail be without a list of
gripes?

Visual Win32lib is based around David's latest Win32lib, which has
abolished the onClick parameters.
Visual Win32lib 0.5 comes with the win32lib that it was designed for, as
compatability with other versions cannot be guaranteed, 'in the box'
(.zip file) so you've got it if you've got Visual Win32lib - just bung
it in your euphoria\include directory and all will be well!

I'm planning a better properties editor, so this will probably be one of
the new things you'll be able to set in it.

This was irritating me as well. I'll sort it out in the next release.
Many thanks for the suggestions. What does everybody else think? What's
good? What do you want to see improved? It's really up to all the
hardened programmers in which direction they want to see this go...
Thanks in advance,
Stephen
