Re: HyperText within a Euphoria program?

Ok, now I've looked at wxEuphoria a little, and I do have questions! 
I tried to modify "splitter_demo.exw", in order to make an html window in only a portion of the main window, but when I did so, the mod wouldn't run..didn't crash, or error, just didn't RUN.
Anytime this happens, run your program on a command line, like this:
> exwc myprogram.exw
You'll probably see it output "Stack data corrupted!" or something similar. This indicates you passed an invalid number of arguments to create(). (See below.) I'm trying to come up with a more graceful way to prevent such issues. I think I'll need to implement some of wxWidgets' own error reporting functionality, though that's probably a few releases away...
Here's how I modified splitter: I replaced:
text4 = create( wxTextCtrl, {splith2, -1, "Text Control 4", -1, -1, -1, -1})
with:
html = create( wxHtmlWindow, {splith2, -1, "button 4", -1, -1, -1, -1})
(the "button4" in the above is just a leftover from putting a button into the 4th split section, to see if I could make ANY kind of mod to the splitter that would work)
I also changed a line further down to be:
split_window( splith2, vpanel, html, wxHORIZONTAL, 0 )
So, is there any way to put a html window into just a part of a main window, & if so, how?
When it comes to using wxEuphoria, the docs are your best friend. Unlike Win32Lib, which uses a standard create() layout, in wxEuphoria each control has a variable and unique number of arguments. See the docs for wxHtmlWindow:
Creation Parameters
- parent
- id [=-1]
- x [=-1]
- y [=-1]
- cx [=-1]
- cy [=-1]
- style [=wxHW_SCROLLBAR_AUTO]
- wxHW_SCROLLBAR_NEVER
- wxHW_SCROLLBAR_AUTO
Note, there is no text parameter listed. This is different from wxTextCtrl, which includes text as the third parameter.
