1. Anyone here for a Windows Help Project?

Hello there, I had started a Windows Help Project a while back. What im wondering now is are there many people who program in Euphoria who could use a Help program/file that explains the more common Windows function calls in detail (the actual dll calls and how they translate to a Euphoria file)? It would be a rather large undertaking but would eventually contain quite a bit of help for people who want to know how to program under Windows using raw Eu Windows code (like retv=c_func(xCreateWindow,...)) and linking information too. Take care, Al And, good luck with your Euphoria programming! My bumper sticker: "I brake for LED's"

What do you want me to do? I downloaded your Help10 but it's an .exe file, so I can't do anything with that. I can't make heads or tails out of it anyway. I think you have XP, but in win2k if you go to start/help/index and start typing that's the way I would like to see a help file set up. Thanks for the tip on WS_DLGFRAME I'm going to try it when I get a chance. I've decided to forget about a schematic drawing program. I fix TVs and VCRs and some Computers. But don't use schematics much anymore. Like for an older computer power supply, you don't really need a schematic to figure out the 5 and 12 volt connection. Don Cole

What i was thinking was the help would show how to use raw Windows API in Euphoria, not a library, but would show how a library could start out perhaps. For example, the function CreateWindowEx(...) 'C' definition would be shown followed by the most conventional wrapping like: global constant xCreateWindowEx=etc. but would also include some help with the parameters too, and how they translate to Euphoria. Sound interesting? Oh you were talking about a schematic drawing program? I thought we were talking about a circuit "analysis" program, that looks at all the parts in the schematic and then does a transient, dc, or ac analysis, with a plot output window to show waveforms. I guess we could start with a drawing program first though. Take care, Al And, good luck with your Euphoria programming! My bumper sticker: "I brake for LED's"

I'll email you a bitmap of my idea for the drawing project. Don Cole

Hi Don, Didnt see an email, but that's ok, try the RDS upload then link here. I'll take a look. Take care, Al And, good luck with your Euphoria programming! My bumper sticker: "I brake for LED's"

I was saying I could do switches. You decide on size if you have eugrid going, I don't, but could pretty easily. http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/uploads/wire.bmp Don Cole

Or, is it you'd like to do it in Euphoria anyway? Or, is it you'd like to do it in Euphoria so we could (later) interface it with an analysis program (would be very interesting i think)?

I want to back off right now. I've got a new project (getting ubuntu to work with winmodem) and like I said "I'm really not using scematics much anymore". I was just saying how I think it should be done. Don Cole
