1. IDE version .9L.2 available
I've gotten most of the bugs discovered last night fixed. And I've added a
'delete active window' routine. Also fixed some bugs nobody had yet
mentioned, such as popups showing Name instead of Caption, changing Name in
Properties Sheet for window not changing combo box also.
Problems with Properties Sheet still exist, unfortunately.

Hi again,
i have found two small bugs in version .9L.2 (very easy to fix):
a) wrong writing of variable
Line 47:
dy = cY + 70 should be changed to dY = cY + 70
(this applies to version 54 winlib only and is just a small letter error)
b) "Return to design window" bug
When you first right-click within the design window, the options
"Show Window Full Size" and "Return to design window" are shown.
If you use "Return to design window" without using "Show Window Full Size"
once before, the program crashes.
The reason for this is an uninitialized variable saveposx. By simple
setting it to 0, the problem is solved.
Perhaps, this option should be disabled until "Show Window Full Size" has
been used at least once.
c) i converted the settings to version 54 winlib, but still when i right-
click in the design window, the popup window appears way below the mouse
cursor (haven´t found the variable for this yet).
All right, that´s it. Just one final thing:
I like the new look of the program very much. Excellent work! The only
thing i would like to see is to get this program to run stable before
adding new features......

Screwing around after looking at this email, and I found it. Look in
IDE.exw for something that looks like:
popup( PopUpDesign, mouseX, mouseY )
and change it to:
popup( PopUpDesign, mouseX, mouseY-70 )
Judith, perhaps another thing to comment in? :)

Yes, I did not get that one documented in verson 9L2 but it is in 9L3 which
I will issue as soon as I have a solution to the Property Sheet problems.
Most of the documentation was for my own use for conversion. I threw it out
as a help but expected that I would have missed a few......
The next version of IDE will have 1 statement you need change and then all
the 'if else then' statements related to setPosition will be done for you
automatically. I'm not planning on doing this forever. As soon as we have a
stable version 54, maybe stamped as well, I'm converting to it.
The next version of IDE has a configurable snap to grid ( you can specify
color, pixel size of snap, hide/show grid, disable/enable grid and whether
the grid is dots or lines), an optional bypass of the question dialog for
changing icon behavior and more. I'm currently working on a copy control
feature that may or may not make it in depending on when the Property Sheet
problems are fixed. Then I'm taking a break to do some things I need for
myself and also to let the IDE gell before taking on the many wishlists I've
gotten by private e-mail.
