[BR_forum] Color.exe

[BR_forum] OPEN #0:

That's a great explanation Doug. I was under the impression that the goal was to explicitly open #0 in all programs that write to the screen. However, I DID wonder why my screens were still working withOUT doing that. (I had a SCREEN OPENDFLT statement in my BRCONFIG.SYS). I was just holding my brea...

Steve, I thought that you HAD to use OPEN #0 in GUI to print anything to the screen. Is that not true? How are you reducing the use of OPEN #0? -- Susan Stephen Koger wrote: v:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} o:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} w:* {behavior:url(#default#VML);} .shape {behavior:url(#de...

[BR_forum] Wiki and Legacy ADS documentation (was Rows in Gr

Ahh... I see now. I didn't realize that you couldn't just cut and paste EVERYTHING including the graphics all at once (a la MS Word). That explains it. -- Susan John Bowman wrote: <![endif]--> <![endif]--> Yes – now that you’ve seen the source document – it’s clear that the raw text is deficient w/o...

[BR_forum] Wiki and Legacy ADS documentation (was Rows in Gr

I went and looked, and I see that you're just linking to an external copy of "new console.doc" from the wiki link. Perhaps it's a lot harder than I thought, but I assumed that you could just copy and paste the existing text from newconsole.doc AS IS and paste it into the wiki TEMPORARILY w...

[BR_forum] Wiki and Legacy ADS documentation (was Rows in Gr

Why don't you just create a page for "release notes and other reference docs" and just cut & paste the contents there for now without parsing it into sections. (or put it on it's own page and then have a "master page" that would like to it and other ADS docs like that) Then, ...

[BR_forum] BR 4.2 - ready for primetime?

I have situations where a user is entering information on a parent window and they need reference information to pull up while they are typing. That would be a perfect application for a non-modal window since they can move it out of the way and yet still see it while they go back to entering data on...

[BR_forum] AutoIt

Sometime when you have a moment (I know you're working at a client site this week, so not now), I'd love to know what sorts of things you can do with Autoit to integrate things with your BR programs. I have AutoIt and have read the (confusing) documentation, but my biggest hurdle is visualizing the ...

[BR_forum] Organizing Libraries

These are good examples. I know I've been terribly remiss in my implementation of libraries. I do use then, but I should be placing many more "mini application" types of things in libraries for two reasons: so they can be called from more than one program so my calling programs can be more...
