Questions!
Hello All!
I've got a couple of questions about win32lib.ew
0.50c++ as I busily work on my IDE, as well as
some other questions ...
1. Problem with getPrinter().
When I call to getPrinter(), the "Print Dialogue"
form does not appear, and the value returned from
the function indicates that the user pressed the
CANCEL button, although he was never given the
chance to! 
Now, I remember reading some time
back that someone else mentioned the problem, but
I'll be darned if I can find the exact message.
It seems to me that Mr. Lewis had said that he
had fixed the problem, but then again, my
memory's not that sharp. Mr. Lewis: have you
fixed this problem? (I got my copy from
SourceForge yesterday, 5-sep-00.) Or is it
implemented differently in this version of
win32lib?
2. RichEdit
Trying to use RichEdit, I was unable to open any
file and put it into the RichEdit component if
that file was larger than ~3k. To attempt this,
I used a slightly modified version of the sample
program RichEdit.exw, which I've included below.
The reason that I was wanting to use RichEdit in
the IDE was to give it the capability of opening
files larger than 32k. To have a size limit that
low, I'm pretty sure that the problem here isn't
with the tool, but with the operator. If someone
could find my boo-boo, it would be much
appreciated.
3. Documentation Formatting
At the risk of starting a flame war here, what
would be the preferred format for documentation?
Text? Html? Or other? I personally thought
HTML, because I figure that if they download the
program off the Net, they more than likely have
the facilities to read the HTML documentation.
There is also the hyperlinks, to make things
easier to find. But I've noticed that
documentation for Euphoria programs are generally
in ASCII format, save the "official"
documentation from RDS and the reference for
win32lib, which is HTML. Any thoughts?
Well, that's it for now! Thanks everybody!
God bless and Blessed Be,
