Heads up: win32lib.ew and Windows '95

new topic     » topic index » view thread      » older message » newer message

Howdy y'all:

A quick note on the newest bleeding-edge version of win32lib.ew.  If you've
got a computer that is running Windows '95, win32lib.ew may not run (at
least it didn't on mine.)  The problem is with value xGetWindowInfo which is
initialized around line 997 or so.  It calls a DLL function GetWindowInfo,
which exists in Windows '98 or better, but not in Windows '95. (I've got the
earlier version.)  To get win32lib to run, I've commented out this reference
to xGetWindowInfo.  However, in so doing, you'll also need to comment out
the entire routine getWindowInfo().

It may be that this is only a problem on my machine.  But just in case, I
wanted all the newbies to know how to get around the problem for the time
being, until it's straightened out.  I've sent word to Derek privately about
the booboo already, and I'll leave the program in his incredibly talented
hands.

Happy Hunting!

P.S.  Sorry about typos.  This was written really fast.
