Re: Taxi stuff
There are several Khalid Cheema's in the database, but I don't think so. BTW - It is very easy to write an algorithm to figure out if they have altered the meter. The taxi has equipment installed that reports everything back to a central office via wireless cell phone technology. We use a web servic...

Re: Why not? An essay
Tom - Thank you for your thoughtful response. Usually, when I make an effort to put a lot of thought into something and then share that idea with others, I tend to get short "1-liner" replies that are completely thoughtless or condescending. I sent this out as an email to a few friends and was surpr...

Re: Update to Exp Build 254
Cliff - I am planning to do more frequent updates this year, so you can expect a build 255 around the end of March. Most of the changes in 255 will be related to CodeJock, but there will be other nice additions too. Rick - You would continue to use BUILD19.BAT for all releases as long as you are usi...

Re: Menubar in linked childwindows
Your problem is due to a limitation of Windows. It does not allow more than 1 menubar in an application with child windows. This is why it works when the window is a child of the desktop but not the main window. I have modified your code to show how you can still use DCSUBMENU and DCMENUITEM command...

Re: Why not? An essay
I received this response by private email yesterday. It was too good not to post here. Thanks Jon. You die every time you go to sleep, that is : your inner you - the bit you call "me" gets turned off and is no longer functional. The biological part of you, if it is still functional, does a little h...

I hate Ribbonbars
I am going on record as saying that I hate Ribbonbars for a lot of reasons: It's not Commandbars that I have a problem with, it's the Ribbonbar control of the commandbar. 1. They are unreliable. I get lockups all the time. 2. They are hideous. This is one of the reasons I never upgraded to Microsoft...

Re: phpBB is a Zen experience
Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. I am a bit testy today because I haven't been away from the computer for 2 months. I occasionally need a break from all this and so I find that it satisfies my soul to write an essay or read a book about someone who went on a great adventure. I often think of Xbas...

Re: phpBB is a Zen experience
Your response is to say to me that Xbase++ no longer matters. If that is true, then why are you here and not on the Windev forum? What is your objective in making such a comment? Is it to try to convince Xbase++ developers that they need to drive a Ferrari? So what does our community gain from such ...

Re: RibbonBar and Win7
I don't have any problem with workarounds. That's what I have been doing in eXpress++ since day 1. If I can calculate the ribbonbar area, I must now attach a window to the dialog rather than the drawingArea, as I do in DCSTATUSBARs. This concept is not new to me. What I am not sure about yet is how ...
