Express++ Sample as Newbie

[Auge_Ohr]

hi,

i have try all Sample which don't need 3-PP which i not have like JazzAge (still alive ?)
to run Codejock Sample you need to include a License (Text) to run.

Error :

more Question how to :

many DcGET -> move in Browse -> how to refresh GETs ?
dito DcSLE ( AEVAL(::aEditcontrol,{|o| o:setdata()} ? )

last line most is DCREAD GUI ... how to put Focus to a Child ?

TABSTOP : seems Express++ do not used it much ...
can't TAB between SLE/GET but Cursor up/down work ( like in Cl*pper ? )

how enable visual Style on DcBrowse Scrollbar ?
btw. why Browse most use no Tabstop in Sample ? i need to click on it with Mouse.

where does DC_AutoRestoreWindow() store in Registry ?

DCTABPAGE: is there a "multi-line" Option ? what when more Tabs than DrawingArea X-Size ?

POPUP {|n|PopKeyPad(n)} display a On-Screen-Keyboard ... how to resize ?

what Type of PDF is create by \Samples\Wizard\WIZARD.PRG
DCPRINT OPTIONS ACROBAT TO aOptions -> Error open File with Acrobat DC v2015.010.20060

Use the DC_GetRefresh() function. It will refresh individual objects, groups of objects or the entire Getlist of objects.

last line most is DCREAD GUI ... how to put Focus to a Child ?

DCREAD GUI .. SETFOCUS @oObject // set focus by object variable name
DCREAD GUI .. SETFOCUS 'MyFirstGet' // set focus by object ID

TABSTOP : seems Express++ do not used it much ...
can't TAB between SLE/GET but Cursor up/down work ( like in Cl*pper ? )

DCGETOPTIONS TABSTOP
DCREAD GUI .. OPTIONS GetOptions

how enable visual Style on DcBrowse Scrollbar ?

@ .. DCBROWSE .. USEVISUALSTYLE

btw. why Browse most use no Tabstop in Sample ? i need to click on it with Mouse.

I don't understand. What do you want the tabstop to do?

where does DC_AutoRestoreWindow() store in Registry ?

It can store in any registry node you wish. I recommend HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Example: DC_AutoRestoreWindow( { HKEY_CURRENT_USER, 'Software\Donnay Software\eXpress++\Windows' } )
The registry node will be created if it does not exist.

DCTABPAGE: is there a "multi-line" Option ? what when more Tabs than DrawingArea X-Size ?

No. I never wrote that capability into DC_XbpTabpage().

POPUP {|n|PopKeyPad(n)} display a On-Screen-Keyboard ... how to resize ?

Your problem could be your version of Win2PDF driver. Try using the Win2Pdf included with eXpress++.

I have not tested all the samples in awhile.
I will go through those that you have referenced and see what I can do about the errors.
Some are very old samples.

d:\exp20\Samples\Scale\Font.prg -> maximize -> minimize -> wrong Font Size

This appears to be a problem in the DC_Resize() function in _DCCLASS.PRG. It only happens when normalizing the window after maximizing the window. Resizing the window vertically fixes the fonts. This will need to wait until the next eXpress++ build.

d:\exp20\Samples\SHORTCUT\SHORTCUT.PRG -> obsolet for v1.9x -> ShellLinkCreate()

Will be fixed in next build

d:\exp20\Samples\SLIDER\slider.prg -> Slider Channel Color not filled when move Marker

This is an unfinished sample. I gave it to Jack Duijf to finish. He requested it.

Copy attached files to your \exp20\samples\shortcuts folder

d:\exp20\Samples\SUBCLASS\Paint.Prg -> (B)PAINTIMAGE(39)

I am removing that sample from the next build. I didn't write it and I don't have the time to figure it out.

d:\exp20\Samples\ToolTip\Thread.Exe -> Line Number : 51 Information : Error BASE/2266

An update to an eXpress++ function broke this sample. I changed the sample to make it work.

Copy attached file to \exp20\samples\tooltip.
