2. Re: Error when tryijng to use Upper()
you may have your include after it's use. this is a one pass compiler.
to force an edit text field to be upper case do this
id = create(EditText,"",mainWindow,xt,yt,fl+10,cy+5,ES_UPPER)
if you want only numbers use ES_NUMBER

The correct spelling for the uppercase conversion routine is 'upper' and not
'Upper'. Euphoria is a case-sensitive, just like C++ is.

Use the flag ES_UPPER when creating the control.
For example:
Code = create(SleText, "", MainWin, l,t,w,h, ES_UPPERCASE)
Other flags that might be useful with 'edit' controls are ...
ES_CENTER -- center the text
ES_RIGHT -- right align the text
ES_LOWERCASE -- force only lowercase
ES_PASSWORD -- display '*' for each character
ES_NOHIDESEL -- don't hide the selection when it loses focus
ES_DISABLENOSCROLL -- disable, rather than hide, unwanted scrollbars
ES_READONLY -- don't allow text to be modified by the keyboard.
ES_WANTRETURN -- insert the return-character
ES_NUMBER -- only allow digits

Thanks, Derek, George and the rest of you. I can't find ES-UPPER
mentioned anywhere in the Euphoria documentation. For that matter I can'=

find SelText or EditText either. Where do I find the documentation for
these items?=0D
=0D
I had a line in my program:=0D
=0D
integer printerr=0D
err=0D
=0D
I got a message saying err wasn't defined. I finally used integer printe=

err and it liked that.=0D
=0D
I have a constant list with several items that works fine. Why doesn't i=

work the an integer list?=0D

Those are all in the Win32Lib documentation (including the flags like
ES_UPPER, etc.)

This works:
integer printerr,
err
Note the comma after printerr.

I don't need to be thanked. Others may feel differently, and that's fine. If
you do a thanks, maybe a blanket thank you to "all the beautiful people" or
something. ;)
We all give and get around here. It's all about people who need people.
errr. Something like that.
In the future, when you've sold a million copies of your killer app, we just
ask that you remember the kind people who helped you.

I, too, struggle with the documentation. OK, Here's the problem. We go to=
Win32Lib index.htm, press Ctl-F and search for "ES_UPPER" or "SelText"=
and find nothing. You will say this is because index.htm is only one of=
44 files of HTML documentation. I say I don't have time to initiate up to=
44 separate searches to locate the explanation for "ES_UPPER".
Two possible solutions come to mind...
1. Someone could write a search tool.
2. A link could be placed in index.htm for "EX_*" (I assume all of them=
are in one file) so we could find them in two steps. Hopefully, a similar=
thing would be done for the other batches of constants.
Idea for the (perhaps distant) future - design special flags to put in the=
comments in Win32Lib source (or any source) which allow a documentation=
generator to produce documentation for the program. That way, when the=
source is changed, it will only be necessary to run docgen to make new=
documentation. It could produce a text file with HTML links, and the=
single file could be easily searched.

Its worse than that...there *is* no explanation of ES_UPPERCASE and SelText in
the win32lib docs. This is because I'm not likely to describe the Microsoft
defined constants or API routines in Win32lib's documentation. Think of it this
way, if I write a book to describe the workings of a Porsche 911, you would still
have to go else where to learn how to drive.
There are many sources of information about the Microsoft Windows API, and all
better written than I could ever do.
On the other hand, if you wish to pay me large amounts, I might be persuaded to
add extra to the free win32lib documentation.

Well, yes and no. The search tool could be created, but the content to search
for is still not there.

Ummm...that's how its done now. Have you looked at the comments in the library?
They are sprinkled with markup codes already so that the MakeDoc program can
generate the HTML code.
For example...
--/topic Events
--/func subClassControl(sequence Id, atom hWnd)
--/desc Used to access Windows created controls as if they were win32lib
controls.
--/return INTEGER: A win32lib control id. ZERO if it fails.
-- /i Id is a sequence {ControlType, ParentID} /n
-- /i hWnd is the Windows Handle to the control.
--
--Example
--/code
-- newid = subClassControl( {EditText, myWindow}, winhandle)
--/endcode
generates an entry in the EVENTS.HTM file (the topic) about a function called
'subClassControl'.

Because if you have lines like this...
constant x = 1
y = 2
it is saying "define a constant called 'x' and assign it the value '1', and then
set a variable called 'y' to the value '2'.
In general, a LIST of items in Euphoria needs each item except the final to be
followed by a comma. Thus the *constant* definition above should be written ...
constant x = 1,
y = 2
Note the comma after the '1'.
