And more further testing it appear to be a problem with a combination of HELPID and the display thereof. If I use Fast-Help (Demo) and HELPID on a GET (and the HELPID is defined in the .HLP file) a blank block is displayed and I am almost sure that the text that is in fact NOT being displayed is the...

Further testing and it appears that the problem is with the HELPID parameter - how to fix?

Hi Peter, Did you ever resolve this issue? I have also just started writing .hlp files for an application and seem to be having some weird and wonderful things happen - see my message thread 'Help on Help'. I have tried using DotHLP (supposedly 32-bits) as well as Fast-Help (Demo) (also 32-bits) but...

After further testing of the above I decided to try using an old version of DotHLP and the same problem exists (although with this version I cannot even get a HELP POPUP to appear as a HELP TOPIC when defining HELPID). It would appear that FWH HELPTOPIC( ) and HELPINDEX( ) are working correctly BUT ...

More problems with HELP! Help! I am testing FWH with Fast-Help Demo (very expensive but appears to be worth the price). I am not sure if this is problem is coming from FWH or Fast-Help: When defining a HELP button with HELPTOPIC in my application e.g. HelpTopic( 'New Branch' ) the correct HELP TOPIC...

Thanks - I thought about that - but I thought there might be a another way as I was worried about skipping the VALID clause.

Thanks again.

By the way - do you (and James and Antonio) ever sleep?

Regards,

Dale.

On a dialog box my first input field has a VALID clause and I have a HELP button on the bottom. If I click on the HELP button I get the error message that I have defined in my VALID clause and HELP will not pop up. In other words it appears that clicking on my HELP button is causing the GET to be VA...

Thank you! I was trying to find samples containing nAtCol and was not looking for lEditCol. Found many with lEditCol! Thanks again. By the way - is this an 'acceptable' and 'robust' form of data input in FWH? We have many other commerically available packages here that use this type of 'table' or 's...

Hello, Does anyone have a working sample (small and simple if at all possible) that allows a user to edit the individual cells in a LISTBOX BROWSE (TWBROWSE), validate the data entered, and then save the changed data to a database? Alternatively is it possible to do the above using an array and then...

This is driving me insane! Does anyone have a routine that will right justify text on a printer. I am using the 'Courier New' font which does not appear to be a proportional font but still do not seem to get it right. In the 'old' DOS days we would say: @ 0, 80 - Len( cVar1 ) Say cVar1 @ 1, 80 - Len...

Does anyone have an idea what parameters to use when defining a printer font that will make the printer print in the equivalent old DOS font size? What I am trying to say is (for example): In DOS we had Chr(27) + Chr(15) (usually) which was 'compressed' print and Chr(27) + Chr(18) (usually) which wa...

Thanks Antonio, that is all I needed to know.

Please do take into account some of the ideas express in this message thread when you get around to working on the listbox code.

(Other than the listbox problems - FWH / xHB - is the best)!

Thanks again,

Dale.

No offence but why did you not start your own thread? This topic goes toward the overall appearance and functioning of TWBROWSE and I thought that this was important. If you are not worried what your user interface looks like then use InnoSetup. What do you need a FiveWin Installer for anyway? I use...

Does anyone know how to draw a border around a SAY that is defined as a resource. I am using BRW and the GETs that are defined as resources have a very neat flat blue border around them when displayed from FWH. Is it possible to display the SAYs with the same flat blue border. I have tried turning t...

Hello again, Contrary to your experience, I do see problems with deleted records. When you think about it, it makes sense that you would. When the browse is first initialized, the scrollbar is too--with the range and current position of the highlighted record. If you then go behind the browse and ch...
