proc parameters

Is there a way to make a proc so that it can take parameters? Here's what I'm thinking: Currently I use a PROC ED from the br console to launch the associated .br.brs file in my preferred development program (n++). This has worked great for years now. I would like to be able to pass a line number so...

Re: read prior loop EoF

Thanks! I found my loop outside of that little routine, but I sure thought it was hanging up there for the longest time. It is a bit counter-intuitive, but it sure does work.

read prior loop EoF

:D Here's one for you BR! Gurus :D

In the following pseudo-code loop:

Code: Select all

read, key=whatever
do
  read, prior: etc
loop
How do I test to see if I hit the beginning of the file? I need it to not loop forever but quit at the start of the file, the do loop seems to be looping eternally.

Re: video conferencing

I'm very happy with TeamViewer, but I went with the subscription model as I was already paying 1200$/year for the updates anyway. It was essentially the same price for me, but now I always know when the bill is coming and I never get out of date. It's essentially the same deal I offer my customers, ...

Maybe the conference could just be a big video conference call this year.

Re: Help Facility Issue

I'm on Windows also. The only thing I saw in your brconfig.sys is an option that is being initiated but is no longer supported. Which *maybe* can cause some weirdness. from the BR Wiki Option 35 Honor keepalive timeout (no longer available) It probably won't make any difference, but you might try re...

Re: Help Facility Issue

It might be worth a try to replace your dlls and executables to make sure nothing is corrupted. Would you mind sharing your brconfig.sys - maybe there's a clue in there.

weird - I'm using 4.32k and I can do F1 from the console in client or server and I don't crash.

Re: Help Facility Issue

Have you tried removing the wbCm*.wbh files? Or adding them if they're not there? That might disable or fix it... maybe... I'll attach mine, maybe try replacing them - could be corrupted

5.15-2.55-2.6

Why does the answer to this:

5.15-2.55-2.6

not come out to 0?

try it in your console and see what you get?

I'm asking for a friend.

Re: e

Gordon, That worked great ! I removed the editor statement from my brconfig.sys and now when I type e (or ed or edi or edit or even edit ~) than I just get an error 9307. That simple solution hadn't occurred to me. For my own personal uses, I use PROC ED which does this: exec 'sy C:\ACS\Dev-5\brEdit...

e

Like so many other BR developers I maintain my programs in source code. Today I accidentally type the letter e and hit enter in a console window. It immediently enacted the Edit command and rebuilt the associated .br.brs file for the currently loaded program. I had to go back to my repositotory to g...

Re: picture button

Thanks bluesfannoz,
That's a good example of how to emulate a button with a picture on it. I was hoping for a way to make a real button that changed color when my themes buttons changed their color, but something like this is the next best thing.
