Antonio,

Do you have corrct Designer forms project to create Visual Forms and save it on rc ?

Maurilio,

Yes, its very usefull.

Mac OSX "Interface Builder" uses those guide-lines since several years ago

Silvio,

We are actually just building and testing an early prototype

Antonio -
Here is a very simple rc file that shows the problem. The original file has more LTEXTand EDITTEXT as well as a checkbox, but this simplified version shows the problem when I open it with a doubleclick in the re.exe. The string will appear normally if the commas are removed.

testname.rc

TESTNAME DIALOG LOADONCAL MOVEABLE DISCARDABLE 6, 15, 253, 169

Thanks!

Antonio -
That fixed it! Many thanks. This project is moving along very nicely. Will you be adding TFOLDER support soon?

Best regards,
Charles

Charles,

You can already use "SysTabControl32" for folders

Antonio -

I do use SysTabControl32 but I get a message that TCS_MULTILINE style is not found. Can you add that to the style list?

Regards,
Charles

Charles,

Even if the style TCS_MULTILINE is not implemented yet, the SysTabControl32 control should be shown

Antonio -

OK, I can be patient.

I have another question, though. My folder pages are all individual dialogs and do not have SYS_MENU on them, nor a button with ID 1 or 2. As a result I can't close these dialogs in RE.EXE so I hit Ctrl. Alt, Del and close the editor. I suppose at some point you will need some sort of button outside the dialog to close them?

Regards,

Charles

Charles,

You can press Esc to close them.

Anyhow, the idea is to use a reasizable border with a close button on it too

Antonio -

Thanks. If the esc works, that's all I should need.

Regards,
Charles

Hello Antonio,
Could you please test with this rc-file.
This does not work here.

Otto
