Just a note for people who are just beginning to use Dave Cuny's = Win32Lib. In the documentation, the controls LText, RText, and CText (? = - I can't remember the one for center) are best described as static text = controls, not line edits. To create a line edit box, you need to use = the EditText control. This isn't mentioned in the docs, but you can = find it in the example programs that are included in the package. Also, = for multiple windows, don't forget that UnloadWindow is only for the = main window. If you use it on any other windows, it kills your program. = You should SetText(control,"") for each EditText control and = setVisible(window,0) to get rid of any windows you don't need. [David] As much as I would like to see win32lib finished, I appreciate all the = effort you've been putting into the Euphoria community as a whole = without compensation. Take care of yourself and don't burn yourself = out. Then who would finish it? :) Michael J. Sabal mjs at osa.att.ne.jp http://home.att.ne.jp/gold/mjs/

Sabal I'd like to wholeheartedly echo this eloquently stated sentiment as a P.S. to my last post, and also apply it to several others as well...

Hawke wondered if I was ever getting around to Win32Lib again. Yesh, I *do* plan an taking a look at Win32Lib, once my poor head starts hurting from all this C programming (the horror! the horror!). I'll have to get used to *not* placing a semicolon at the end of every line, and the transition back from // to -- comments won't be no fun, neither. Rumour had it that someone else (names omitted to protect the potentially guilty) might perhaps maybe be releasing a visual Win32 library in the near future. Is there truth to this rumour? If so, would that [unnamed] hypothetical person be willing to verify this (via private e-mail) to me, so I can decide if I need to start looking at a visual interface to Win32Lib (I'm not promising nothing!), or if Win32Lib will soon become obsolete? Thanks! -- David Cuny

Don't say you weren't warned ;) [VISUAL WIN32] > (I'm not promising nothing!), or if Win32Lib will soon become obsolete? Whether there is a VisualEuphoria or not, it will still have to write some windows code. Hopefully, it will call Win32lib - not the API directly. I would like to be able to *read* the resulting programs. Maybe even modify them. So, please do not let the possible Visual stuff affect what you do. On the other hand, the Visual stuff may not be practical without Win32Lib! I was wondering, however: would it help if someone divided the Win32Lib into pieces that could be worked on independently? It's already big, and will get bigger. Breaking it up would make it possible to add lots of comments and documentation, and perhaps simplify maintenance later on. Just a thought.. Irv

David: > Yesh, I *do* plan an taking a look at Win32Lib, Welcome back to Win32lib, (and sorry for Gnuphoria..) Could you please priorize the control formatting issue?. I'd like to have controls responding (to, i.e. setFont) the same way the window does: fontSize = 9 -- initialize setFont( thisButton, "Arial", fontSize, 1 ) That will improve a lot the general aspect of all our applications.
