Hello:=20
I'm still rather new to EUPHORIA and only recently subscribed to =
LISTSERV at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU. The amount of information coming in every =
day is almost overwhelming. However, most of it is very high =
sophisticated and deals with using EUPHORIA to program under Windows.=20
I am rather going the other way. My application (written in VB 6 using =
some VC 6-created DLLs) runs fine on reasonably fast PCs (233 up) up to =
Windows 98SE, but not on NT and its derivative Windows2000 (direct =
hardware access is a "No No!") I don't know (and currently don't care) =
about Windows ME.
Since the application is about controlling a peripheral device in a =
rather dusty environment users would appreciate if they could use last =
years (or even older) PC.
I am therefor trying to use EUPHORIA to create a 32-bit version of my =
application which runs even on a second-hand 486 but with a simple GUI =
which to some extent resembles Windows.
I have used modified parts of Normand M. Blais's "smenu" and Andrew =
Greenwood's "dosgui" and the screen layout looks pretty good already. =
However what I am missing is an auto-repeat button to scroll lists or a =
cursor through a graphical display. One, that after an initial time =
(let's say half a second) repeats its function with a certain time =
interval (5 times a second, or so) as long as the left mouse button is =
held down. I haven't found anything similar in the various samples =
downloaded from all kinds of sources.=20
It's not that I'm lazy and I probably could create it myself, but being =
new to EUPHORIA it would take me a lot of time which I would rather =
spend on getting the functions beyond the GUI transferred from VB to =
EUPHORIA. I think an auto-repeat button is a rather common item and I =
have high hopes that somebody out there has done that already and is =
willing to share the code. Preferably it should not require an include =
of several 100 kB.
By the way, I'm quite happy with using "Mike's Editor" under Windows. =
(one instance for the " *.ex" file and another one for all the includes) =
but a big drawback is its limitation to apparently 64k per file. Quite a =
number of samples cannot be loaded. Is there an upgraded version or =
something similar available without this restriction?
Any comment and/or help would be highly appreciated.
