Kixforms and win9x

Shawn I am getting some feed back from win9x users that kixforms is not working, as in buttons and events are not firing. NT computers are working fine.

I am trying to get more information, but i do not have a win9x computer to test on.

Re: Kixforms and win9x

Bryce,

Kixforms is like 99% there for Win9x - the event strings aren't being returned properly on 9x ... two options:

1) If urgent, I can dive into getting that 1% fixed on the current build.

2) Kixforms TNG (The Next Generation) will have 9x support ... but isn't available yet ...

Re: Kixforms and win9x

Go ahead and work on TNG, from what you have said I should not have to hard of a time adapting to the new version.

Re: Kixforms and win9x

Hi bud - get yourself the latest build (20) and try this script:

code:
break on

$form = createobject("kixtart.form")
$form.text = "Shawn"
$form.width = 300
$form.height = 300
$form.fontname = "verdana"
$form.fontsize = 12

$minimize = $form.commandbutton("Minimize",10,10)
$minimize.center
$minimize.onclick = "$$form.show(2)"

$form.center
$form.show
while $form.visible
 $=execute($form.doevents)
loop

exit 1
note: show(2) 2=minimize

-Shawn

Re: Kixforms and win9x

hmmm I got build 20, ran your sample and still it will only minimize to the taskbar when I click on the commandbutton $minimize, I am guessing that .show(2) will place it on the Tray?

Re: Kixforms and win9x

show(2) is a new method to automatically (programatically) script a minimize. Running in the system tray is a whole new matter - completely different mechanism for doing that ... good idea though - not supported in current build ... hmmmm ... [Wink]
