Rod, I actually have cable at home so I'm nice and speedy. [Wink] At work, it's sometimes slow depending on the time of day and bandwidth usage.

Anyway, do you have a preference for documentation submission or is a word document ok?

A Word document is just fine. The thing that would be really useful is if you use the headings of Applies To, Description, Syntax, Settings & Parameters, Remarks, Examples and See Also, as your guideline. I will obviously make sure that everything is standardised across the site so no worries if it is a little rough and ready. I am currently up to the DrawWidth property (although I do need to go back to AcceptsReturn and AcceptsTab), so please help yourself to anything after that. Finally, many thanks for your offer of help.

Rod.

No problem, glad to help.

I was already working on using your "template" so this should work out well.

Ok, off to the exciting world of....documentation. [Wink]

.Topmost update

if the .Topmost is placed after the .Show, there is no need for .enabled... [Confused]

so this works too:
code:
...Sleep 0.5
$Popup.Show
$Popup.TopMost = 1
;$Popup.Enabled = 1 <-- line disabled
;$poplabel.enabled = 1 <-- line disabled
While $Popup.Visible
...

Hmmm, strange isn't it?

ok,
got beta2 (beta one lived so shortly that I did not bother to announce it) online.

some improvements like the form is fast.
also, now it's inpossible to doubleclick on the history or buddy show-buttons.

sliders timer has been updated to really sleep the 5 secs.

one thing you ppl could check is that does the slider show the full link.
I got a problem with it as it does not seem to show the users name if topic name is long.

anyway, package is closer than close.

ah, beta 3

I can't get the sliders hyperlink to work properly when there is long line to show. it cuts the sender. so, I made also the slider shorter as it can't work properly anyway...

made some adjustments to the code and again it's size is 10,0k.

I have problem with the naming as it does not look nice:
bbchecker II 2.1
neither does bbchecker 2.1
nor bbchecker II 1.1

will see on that...

make that beta4...
size increased a little bit (300 strokes...)
all I need to update for first rc is the installation code.

and then next update is coming shortly after (in my dreams) shawn updates to multicolumn support for listboxes (tables)...

ok, I made rc1 online.
it still has one problem I can't solve.
patrick or someone might know what is wrong.

I try to create the shortcut with:
$=ADDPROGRAMITEM('"@curdir'+'\wkix32" bbCheckerII.kix',"bbChecker II",'"@curdir'+'\bb.ico"',0,"@curdir",0,0,0)

and it does not accept the iconfile.
it just says:
no such file: "%systemdrive%\Programs"

is this what? I can use %programfiles% as root on w2k, but not for older systems...

so, my question is, is this problem in kix or in my call?

oh, the BBCheckerII_1.1_RC1.exe-link...

another one, that I can't understand is that now setting the logonname textbox (in misc) to enabled=0 does not turn it to gray...

Jooel,

it has something to do with the strings, the following works:
code:
$=AddProgramItem('"$dir'+'wkix32" bbCheckerII.kix',"bbChecker II",'"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\progra~1\bbchecker\bb.ico"',0,'"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\progra~1\bbchecker\"',0,0,0)

as does
code:
$=AddProgramItem('"$dir'+'wkix32" bbCheckerII.kix',"bbChecker II",'"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\progra~1\bbchecker\bb.ico"',0,'"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\program files\bbchecker\"',0,0,0)

writing "program files\bb.ico" doesn't work...

there is just one problem...
'"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\program files\bbchecker\"'

can't be used as it's not standard. well, before w2k...
but, curdir works just fine in the other parts of the link.
only the icon part fails.
at the time I run the installation, the addprogramitem will look after translation:
$=ADDPROGRAMITEM('"c:\program files\bbChecker\wkix32" bbCheckerII.kix',"bbChecker II",'"c:\program files\bbChecker\bb.ico"',0,"c:\program files\bbChecker",0,0,0)

and I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work.

shawn, I have still some problems with the slider...
I took of the show(2) before sliding. what happened was that the whole checker window pushed itself in front...
will examine this more later.
if can get it to stop, I would have so much to do with focus stuff...

as no further solutions have raised, I announce the bbchecker rc2.

no other part has changed but some minor improvements to the actual code.
that's why I didn't bother updating the package but just placed the new code in sources dir...

what comes to the issue shawn told before about getting a doubleclick trhough, it still goes that way if parse gets really slow (due to slow network) as it hangs the form for a moment...

Jooel,

I did some research for your icon problem.

The MANUAL says that addprogramitem uses "Program Manager" to do the job,
So I thought why not do what KiX does.

I started Progman.exe on a W2k box, added a program group and started adding an item. So far so good...
After manually adding the same entries as in inst.kix (including the quotes), I tried changing the icon and what happens? I've got the same error you did.

See the iconerror.jpg

man, i waited your reply for some time.
as saw you readin the topic several times...

what comes to icon problem, we found out that it actually is not so much kix problem but the problem in the stuff it call's.
I'm not sure, but I think, it should be asked from ruud, what to do with this.

does it work if you replace the "program files" with 8.3 version?

Jooel,

I had some problem adding the jpg, thats why you saw me watching the topic over and over again...

OK, did some more testing.

If you change the "command line" in 8.3 format the error doesn't occur; now you get an error that there are no icons available for the file specified...

On MSDN I found an article to make a long filename into a short one --> web page

It uses an API call.

Mayby usefull in the future. But I don't know how to make a UDF of it...

pat, did not check the link yet...

you said you got error anyway, even though you used the 8.3 names...
so it's not about short or long names but more like a bug...

I'll post ruud a question tomorrow, if you don't do it now [Big Grin]

some clarification from ruud about what is the actual problem and can it be fixed would be good...

anyway, what comes to checker, quickest work-around would be to move the ico-file to systemroot and create the shortcut according to that...
