Thanks Thomas for that explanation. I was wondering about the same thing (but have been WAY too busy to start investigating.)

Jan, sorry for the delay in responding. Been off line. I have used both installers and simply copying from one device to another. As I mentioned, no registry modifications. The installers (2 different products) worked cleanly. Loved using them. The AV products simply did not like the application its...

Just a quick side note to this discussion. a few years back, an application I wrote worked fine and was approved to be on the network computers. It was used fairly extensively and was on the network for about 6 years. Then, with no warning, it was automatically stripped from all the computers. A wee...

Sorry, I've doing so much programming in c# lately I got confused.

my intent was correct though: 32 vs 64 natives.

not too sure, but have you tried making it convert to an 'int32' ?

I could be completely wrong but isn't == an equality comparison and = an assignment?

Why not use = ?

P.

how about inserting a simple test step at the beginning of the iteration for a key board entry if the Iteration count = a specific number? (it's the way I used to do debugging in VIP before there was a debugger).

Thomas,
The std::fromTo() 'sets' the next value of 'Y' from the sequence each time though, correct?

Michael, dumb question. I'm confused. Are you trying to restart the same foreach() loop from within the foreach() loop but with new start and stop numbers based on a action/decision within that loop? <clause>:- ... steps ... foreach(), %change the iterations of this loop and restart just the loop fr...

sorry, missed the implied cannot use recursion.

Deferring to Thomas.

I don't remember if it exists in VIP or not but how about a "while" loop instead of a foreach? pseudo code: Y = 1 While Y < 100, <do steps> < change value of Y (either increment by 1 or set to 100)> End While. in pseudo VIP: ... Y=1, MyWhileLoop(Y, Omega), % Omega is the upper limit) .... MyWhileLoo...

I am not an expert on the latest version of VIP (still need to upgrade from 7.5) but looking at your code block the logic looks iffy. (Assuming hierarchy_PART(...) and local_object(...) are fact bases) To see it, try re-ordering the clauses; add_local_conditionally(Module_name, In_local_list, In_loc...

If I might weight in a little here. Building on what Thomas just stated, I was initially reluctant to move away from 5.x in a large project I had that was independently certified for safety use. I tried 'migrating' from 5.x to 6 when the change came about. It was a nightmare, all kinds of errors, so...

Harrison,
Great job. I've been wanting to do more work in GDIPlus inside of VIP since I presented my paper at the VIP ALC back in 2006. I've done some minor tinkering but too many issues/demands in my day job to devote much time to it unfortunately. Glad to see this.

Years ago, back in the PDC 3.x days I remember doing a comparison between SWI and PDC Prolog (as it was called then). PDC was noticeably faster in all my tests, event when used as the PIE. I can't vouch for the current versions of VIP v. SWI because I don't use SWI at all. (I am a little biased towa...
