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...

If you are starting with a new, almost "empty," project be sure to Build the entire project first. That helps the IDE perform autocomplete. After that, when you start typing the autocomplete suggestions should appear automatically. When they do, Tab and arrow keys will paste the start of the built-i...

FYI -- This still happens with VIP 8 -- if I click on the desktop or another application then the IDE toolbar buttons become responsive.

FYI -- context-sensitive help STOPPED working on my system a few days ago.

I found that helpTopic.db and helpTopic64.db file properties were not read-only. I changed them back to read-only and context-sensitive help work again.

Curious.

First, create a menu item that you want to check. I don't think that you can check/uncheck a top level menu item, so it needs to be a sub-menu item. Setting or unsetting Checked in the IDE only changes the initial state of the menu item; you don't need to check this to make it a "checkable" item. Fo...

I use an interface (.i) file tor embed large strings in an application. The string constant syntax7z is globally visible throughout the application. A rudimentary example is below. interface aTest open core constants syntax7z : string = "Usage: 7z <command> [<switches>...] <archive_name> [<file_name...

Thank you, Thomas! Your explanation gives me the "hooks" I need to understand this in more depth -- of course, your suggested code modification works in 32 & 64 bit, too. Are mkW , mkL and mkR strictly VP constructs or are there equivalents in the .NET world, too? I see now that this is documented i...

I think the problem relates to differences in Windows LPARAM in 32 and 64 bit code. https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/9e26cb61-53f3-4f2f-b65c-27cf27921082/32bit-vs-64bit-bitwise-operator-difference?forum=vclanguage listviewcontrol::itemID is an lparm domain in VP and I wonder if...

No such animal as int32! There are, of course, integer8, integer 16 and integer64.
