Hi, My next problem is the parsing of HTML MAP sections. These maps look like this. (Shape may be RECT, POLYGON or CIRCLE. Target may be "_parent","_blank","_self","_top" or any user-defined frame. The coords may consist 3, 4, 6 or more integers for CIRCLE-s, ...

Thomas,
Thanky you for the mentioning of string_native library.

Re:

Thomas, Thank you. But actually I think we can handle this :-): it should work in the same way as the compiler. Indeed. I do not know how the complier collects the variable names but it collects them correctly. I attach the autocompletion of control names of a form defined during the automatic code ...

Thomas, The distributed version of the autocompletion collects the variable names in the clauses using a negative decision. If the character is not in the {A..Z,a..z,0..9 underscore} set then the variable name has ended. The patching of this set is tiresome. The list would be toooooooooooo looooooon...

Autocompletion fails when names contain national characters

The compiler allows the usage of national characters in variable, constant and function names.
I have discovered a contradiction of the autocompletion with this feature.

The Hungarian alphabet uses accented vowels:

The contradicting arguments, display and working of the frame decoration

The setDecoration(buttons) procedure allows four buttons in the list of decoration buttons. In spite of it, not all 2^4 combinations are possible. 1) Both minimize button and maximize button must be present, xor misising. 2) They must be accompanied by the close button. 3) They inactivate the helpBu...

Minimize and maximize buttons do not allow to appear the help button

Hi Gukalov,
Try to add to the setDecoration call these Buttons.

Code: Select all

 setDecoration(titlebar([helpButton, closeButton,  maximizeButton,minimizeButton])),        
:-) The Help button will disappear.

This exclusion is not the single strange behavior of the setDecoration procedure or the Windows itslef.

F1 and focus

Hi, If I understand your second answer well, key F1 invokes automatically the help topic assigned to the help request but does not move the focus from the current control to the help button of the titlebar. This makes easier to define separate help topics for certain controls within the dialog, by c...

Using of the help button of the titlebar

The GUI provides two possibilities to provide help to a dialog: 1) Using the event handler of an ordinary button, 2) Using the Help button on the titlebar. The first case is clear: The onHelpClick event handler belonging to the help button has to display a help topic. help_ctl:setClickResponder(onHe...

PYB, You have solved the clearing of the text correctly. The insertion needs an insertion point. The insertion needs a selection within the edited text. You can set it by selectText : (charCount First, charCount Last). and get it using getTextSelection : (charCount First [out], charCount Last [out])...

Thank you Gukalov,
Your example works.
It uses the tickAction/2 predicate within the showListener of the window. That is the timer control is not needed.
