I perform a ByteOut = bit::bitXor(Byte1, Byte2) operation where both Byte1 and Byte2 are defined as unsigned8. The resulting ByteOut value is an unsigned32 value. Is there a better way to make ByteOut an unsigned8 other than using bit::setHigh / setLow predicates to convert between unsigned32 and un...

Thomas, Thanks for your reply. I am an oldish dog, and I am learning new tricks every day, though sometimes slower than a new dog would. My problem resolved around two points: 1. I did not understand Unicode. Loading a few files into a hex editor fixed that problem. 2. The strong typing in Visual Pr...

I have found the issue at the heart of my problem.

Please consider this discussion thread complete.

Thomas & Mr/ms/Mrs Hooijenga, Thanks for your responses. I have tried the detailed response and it is working. My IT Professional activities go back a long way; think 1971 and assembler languages. My head is in the 8-bit byte world, hence I think in 8-bit binary's and hexadecimal, arrays/buffers...

I am missing something simple again re conversion and the strong typing in Visual Prolog. I wish to load an 8 bit byte of type integer or string into a binary field/buffer. I thought I had found some predicates to do this but the strong typing is causing me problems. I have found binary concatenatio...

Tested and working.

Just as a thought, and possibly not an elegant solution, would creating a custom symbol table domain have worked?

Thank you both.

I can see reasons to use both suggestions.

I wish to convert an integer number to hexadecimal. For example 255 would become a single byte FF.

Any hints?

Harrison,

Thanks again.

I have tried to find a replacement for the old renamefile/2 predicate without luck so far.

Any hints?

Thomas,

Thanks for your prompt response. I am now starting to understand classes better.

Thomas, Thanks I believe I have done as you suggested, though something is still wrong, and probably stupidly wrong. In taskwindow.pro I have two lines of code that load a text file containing facts, and one line of code that saves all facts when the application is closed. These 3 lines use the file...

I am keen to understand the precise definitions of certain Listener events. That is, precisely when they are activated.

Some are obvious from their name. Others are not. For example "onDestroy".

Can someone please indicate where I can find all of the listener defintions?

Thomas and Harrison,

Thanks, and understood.

Thomas, Re the error, it was in the automatic code for a dialog box. (The box was quite small with four controls: text; edit; OK; Cancel). Last night I recalled that I had reduced the size of the dialog window to more closely relate to the size of the dialogs. So I went back and enlarged the dialog ...
