Hi Bill,

I suspect that you have read more into the second question than I intended. I'm reading FTN95.CHM with the Mk 1 eyeball as a substitute for a printed manual, which I hanker after. I suppos ...

I'd have never found the double slash solution! If I'd had the message about \C being unrecognised, that would have pointed to where the error was, but not how to solve the problem*. Was the other err ...

Bill,

I'm confused now. I put all my resources in the same sub-directory, so for a logo bitmap that I'll put on a drawing with IMPORT_IMAGE@, I might have:

RESOURCES
LOGO IMAGE LOG ...

Hi Paul,

I'll pass it on. I generally use SRC for some applications, and RESOURCES for others. It's been a while since I saw the issue, but recognised it when someone else had it.

Eddie

Why is it that sometimes a resource listed in a RESOURCES section or in a separately compiled .RC file cannot be found, and FTN95 tells you this in a "Resource not found" message? (Apart fro ...

A friend of mine made the mistake of attempting to set the font on a drawing surface with WINIO@ and %fn instead of SET_FONT@ (and also returning to the default with WINIO@ and %sf). He got an odd err ...

Bitmaps sent.

Bill,

I have several 'Sherlock Holmes magnifying glass' bitmaps from 16x16 to 32x32 size, but not suitable for greying out when using %ib. This icon is often used for 'Search', but is also used fo ...

Bill,

If you let me know what the 7 icons do or look like I'll see if I have something that might fit I could send it. (Also how big in pixels).

Eddie

Paul,

Please tell us how to draw an image strip. Is it just the equivalent of a set of the images for %ib drawn as one image?

Eddie

... and I forgot to add that %ib can also detect and respond to a mouseover event, which may allow you to pop up an additional toolbar, so that your 7 actions could be multiplied. I doubt from your de ...

FTN95.CHM tells us that %tb has been superseded by %ib which in turn, has been superseded by %mb. I’m not entirely sure that this is correct nor that it is necessarily good advice.
Contrasting first ...

I think that the answer is not to use a box or set of boxes containing %bt buttons, but instead to use %ib or %tb. Personally, I like the effects possible with %tb better than %ib, but %tb is more wor ...

Brilliant solution, Paul. Simple, elegant, and meets everyone's needs.

It will have to do until you implement the psychic algorithm to detect what the programmer meant, instead of what they typed! ...

Mecej4,

I don't think that I've ever represented 'many users' (much as I'd like to), and as you point out, just being given a tip off enables an experienced programmer to detect the other weeds in ...
