1. IDE version 9k5
I've put a version of IDE on my home page
http://home.flash.net/~camping/judith.htm that fixes the beeping editor,
thanks to a fix by Derek, and corrects the cursor placement after using
ctrl-c. It looks like changes for style and the new InitialCode (thanks Dan
for the title) entry in the event combo may take longer than I planned.
BTW the new InitialCode will only be available for 'window' if I can code
it correctly. Now looks like a good time to incorporate David Cuny's
Property Sheet module. Initially the style field will be free form in which
you can place as many styles together, seperated by commas, as you desire.
In the future this probably should be a combo or dropdown list from which
you can pick multiple items. I don't know all the possible items to put into
this box right now though so may be calling out for help.

Judith,
Do you think you will be providing the style field for all/most controls, or
just windows? Reason I ask is I recently found it useful to add
BS_MULTILINE style to a button control, which suggests it could be useful
maybe to allow style setting in the IDE for other controls as well.
And along those lines, I would suggest that even if you do provide later for
dropdown list to select styles from, that you retain the option for the user
to enter their own style constants, in case people find additional useful
styles not included in the list. I think if you use a combo box which
retains the "edit" field, that's automatically accomplished.
One possible problem to look out for with regard to style setting for
windows, unless Derek has changed it in Win32Lib, is that as far as I
understand, in (a) recent version, the default style setting does *not* get
"over-ridden" by user specified style, the user spec just gets *added* to
the default, so you can't be completely sure that you have "rolled your own"
(window style) as you intended.

Yes, Dan, all controls will be able to use the style field. I saw your
earlier post on BS_MULTILINE.
And, yes, I will be providing for user to input styles not in the combo or
dropdownlist. In fact it may be some time before I have enough information
to build a combo or list box anyway.
I'm not planning to interrogate the style field and try to outguess the
user's intent. What you input is what you will get, otherwise 0 will be
used.
Thanks for your input,
Judith

Whenever I try to run the IDE I always get several message windows with the
following:
"Error Code 460
Failed to acquire a hWnd when subclassing a control
Press [ok] to continue [cancel] to quit"
The IDE eventually starts but crashes after a while. I am running under Win
NT SP5. Can someone please tell me why I am facing this?
Regards,
Prasanta.

Prasanta,
This is just a guess, based on something someone else wrote recently, but I
suspect it may have to do with the use of INTEGER for handles; this, I
think, works just fine with Windows 9x, but handles in other windows
platforms may exceed the limit of integers, and may need to be defined as
atoms??
If this is true, it's probably a Win32Lib problem, rather than the IDE?

Which version of win32lib are you using. There's been difficulty in
subclassing the edit control of a combo box, which causes this error
warning. Derek came up with a solution, which you can get from his web
page:
It's not necessary, though. The only effect should be that you won't be
able to tab correctly from a combo box.
