Re: IDE problems from yesterday
Hi Judith
No apologies needed, I have been getting lots of help and if I get any
more people help me their names won't all fit on my little programs
acknowledgments 
Well I just spent a couple of hours on IDE without even reading the help
info and I have accomplished an enormous amount. This is a wonderful tool!
You have all been doing a great job with Win32Lib and IDE. For a new and
reasonably complex project I have made the main window and 3 virtually
full screen tabs that perform a vast array of functions with buttons and
fields all over the place (but neatly laid out using the grid). Because
this is includes course dates I dropped in a calendar right there in a
couple of seconds and I don't even have to test it! Marvelous!
Well it turns out that I should have read the help because I made great
big multiline text boxes that only accept one line. I have to work out how
to change them. Also, I need to read the help to find out how to put in
the events and my code, but IDE sure beats trying to find the right
instructions in Win32Lib which is so big.
I had one little bug I think. When I was editing a control somewhere
within a tab and then clicked a different tab immediately it locked up and
clicking anywhere had no effect and I had to restart. If I clicked within
the same tab first to get out of edit mode of the control then clicking
another tab didn't cause a problem. This happened about 5 times before I
stopped doing it (and started saving frequently) and realised what the
combination was.
Eventually I found that clicking the tree list released the lock again and
so I didn't need to restart each time.
Otherwise it runs very sweetly. Did I say this is great! 
Thanks to all those that made these great tools.
