"I suspect you think the Rectangle in a printResponder is something different than what it is. This is what it is: The part of the client rectangle that needs to be repainted. " Ahhh ... thank you very much! You are right, I erroneously assumed that the Rectangle in the paintResponder was the client...

OK, here it is as a VP 8.02 project. The problem is how I am handling GDIP in the onPaint/3 event in graphDisplayForm.pro (Line 44). Other "empty" forms behave normally. My idea is that the rugPainter object stores the graphics information on creation and Rug:paint() uses that information to draw th...

VIP Version 7.502

I've tested it several different ways, using vipCommonDialogs type dialogs and my own small dialogs and forms.

How do I make form windows repaint themselves when another form window passes over them? Consider two scenarios: 1. Open form FormF then open dialog DlgD. If I move DlgD around on top of FormF then FormF repaints as expected. 2. Open two forms, FormA and FormB. If I move FormA around on top of FormB...

Here's a suggestion from someone who knows nothing about the complexity of your project: Create an internal fact database in dialogA and populate it with information to control what the user needs to see or wants to revisit. Put human-readable strings in the database that can be used to populate a l...

"so many instances of B, maximizing and comparing the dialogs becomes tedious." Yes ... but you could put the B-dialog identifiers into a database (or a list in a mutable variable) in the A-dialog as you create them. This might not correspond to what you are trying to achieve, but have you consider...

This might have an effect you desire -- just make dialogB invisible (or minimized) when you press Cancel. Put this in dialogB: predicates onCancelClick : button::clickResponder. clauses onCancelClick(_Source) = button::noAction :- This:setState([vpiDomains::wsf_Invisible]). You will need to keep tra...

Take a look at this in the IDE help: vpi::winBringToTop/1 winBringToTop : (vpiDomains::windowHandle WindowHandle) language c. Brings the window WindowHandle to the front of the screen. Description Use the winBringToTop predicate to uncover any window that is partially or completely obscured by other...

Dave, Should vpiGridgrid_vmove_cells_area be vpiGrid::grid_vmove_cells_area ? Add listener " addVScrollListener(onVScroll)" confuses me. Do you mean add a VScroll listener (onVScroll) ? Also, where is activeGrid defined? I can't find it. Thanks for digging into this. I hope your tweaks get added int...

The vipprj files in the two projects do not have replicate entries. I backed up both projects and tried deleting the TaskWindow package using the IDE. I got a message "It isn't allowed to delete the task window resource from the project." Despite the message, it deleted all the resources in the Task...

The quirky projects are two that I created using VP 7 and later copied to my VP 8 development tree and continued development there. How does Find in Files populate the search list?

This quirk, of course, is at the most trivial level of all quirks.

Thanks for checking. I'll keep an eye on it.

I'm using VP Build 802. The behavior seems somewhat inconsistent, but this is what I know for sure so far: * It doesn't happen with all projects, but happens with more than one. * I don't think it's related to 32 vs 64 bit projects. * It happens when searching from the top of the project tree (the f...

"Find in Files" (Ctrl-Shift-F) displays "found" lines in Task Window twice, but other files search results are OK.

UPGRADE FOR Vip8: The original version of xyChartDemo was developed with Vip7 and is not plug-and-play compatible with Vip8 due to some minor changes in the version 8 PFC Graphics class. I have made the necessary changes (mostly in Chart.pro), added a few trivial features (e.g., save and recall nam...
