1. Meditor bug?
This message is for Peter Lomax
Hi Pete
I'm new to euphoria and after exploring several editor, I adopted
Meditor Ver: 2.0.3 and I work with windows XP.
I used Meditor to code all the EDS functions. When I reach approximately
250 lines more or less, the mouse became totally inoperative. The
program still responded to keyboard input and I am able to save but have
to exit with Ctrl C. If I reload the same program in Meditor, Everything
works fine. When hitting Ctrl c, the program close and I see 4
overlapping small windows all saying the samething "Draw rectangle :
Rectangle fail yes,no,cancell button".
Do you know what is the problem?
TIA
I love Meditor. Please fix it.
Regards
Serge Lavigne

Well, on my humble 233MHz, 48MB windows 98 box, I've currently got the
26,750 line win32lib open no problem, and have had most days this year

Ctrl C? Are you sure about that? I thought that was copy.

I think the message you are getting is from drawRectangle() in
win32lib.
Does this happen often, or just the once? You might have a problem
with system resources (right click on My Computer and select
Performance - assuming that is still there in XP) How much memory do
you have and what percent of system resources are free? The other
question is how long since you last rebooted?
Maybe Derek might have another idea why drawRectangle() would give up.
BTW, Derek, is there some reason you can kill a program with abort(0)
from a warning message [by pressing Cancel], but it won't generate an
ex.err file? I can't see the logic in that.

Pete

No idea at all. I should be getting the Windows Error code I guess.

A warning message is not so serious. But I guess it doesn't hurt to =
produce a ex.err file each time. I'll change this then, if no one =
objects.

IMHO, that points to a bad system install &/or a (subtle) hardware
problem. Obviously there is no way that your PC being asleep a while
should knacker the programs running on it, whether they are M$, Basic,
C, C++, Eu, or whatever, - bugs included or not ;-(
I'll live with being corrected, though
