Gotcha. Actually it is: "return( 0 )"
Is there a newer release I don't know about?
I *love* the library by the way.

No, its a long story but as of yet there is no new release. Basically, I
started coding the controls and all was good and well. Geometry was the first,
then LimitSize (by request), and then Syntax. After Syntax I needed a break from
Euphoria. I great language it is, but not having native Windows support was
wearing thin for me (no built in structures or good support for byte, word
types). So I have been on a sabbatical from Euphoria for about hmm, at least a
couple of months now. During that time I kept productive and I learned assembly.
During my absence, (I believe it was Jonas) pointed out an error regarding
LimitSize and pull down controls which I posted a fix for. The topic was also
raised in the past about not being able to close the window which was removing
that line from the file. And most recently, Phil Russell has posted an update to
my Geometry manager so it can co-exist with his grid control.
So there are actually three changes to the lib which I know about at this time.
Since I have been "away", I have not collected these changes and re-submmitted it
to RDS.
What I was planning to do was keep coding controls and posting the new code and
at the same time fix the errors with the others, but frankly I couldnt (and still
cant) think of any more useful ones I could add. So the updates just sat there.
I think I will dig through my records and archives and see if I cant find those
fixes and repost it just to clear it up.
As always, if anyone has an idea for a control, I am always willing to bat it
around and see it would be a good addition. Right now however I am on the third
revision of my syntax control. This one is a stand alone editor code named
Nexus. Its coming along nicely so far. But thats basically a complete history
of the lib.

Don,
I thought I posted this message but maybe I was asleep...
I noticed that if you based a control's position on the bottom postion
of a drop down list, the control is positioned according to the bottom
of the drop down portion, not the bottom of the main control.
Nothing big here, but if you go back and revisit your library it might
be worth looking at (I got around this by basing the control on another
control besides the drop down list).
Thanks!
Jonas

Interesting. That is indeed something to look into. I seemed to have missed
this message if you did post it. I will play with it and see what I can do to
remedy the situation. This is probably an undocumented API feature =)
Oh yes. I did find all of the past updates and incorporated the changes via
EuGrid. I sent the modified files to RDS to post.

5. RE: Phillip's LimitSize -- closing window
Hi Don - welcome back!
In typical fashion, the day after I posted my patch to geometry.exw I
found a *much* better way of doing it which did not involve changing
your code at all. Sigh.
I will bundle this into my next EuGrid release (sometime in the next
week or two, hopefully) at which point you can revert to the previous
version. Sorry to mess you around but at least there is an interim
solution for the many developers (Jonas?) who are combining EuGrid and
xControls.
Regards,
Phil Russell

Sounds good to me. Actually I flubbed my first email to RDS... I forgot to
forward the files themselves hehe. Considering you fixed it on your end I will
resubmit the reworked files again without your modifications.
Thanks for letting me know ahead of time =)
