M2 MouseClick returns
Message #24034
Am writing a program in M2 that needs to get a report when the left mouse button gets clicked. Have the IDCMPFlags set at {MenuEvent,MouseClick}, and need to know what kind of numbers will be given to me in the IntuiMessage that gets sent to the program upon mouse click.…

ModIntuiText structure
Message #23679
Oh. Well, to give you an idea of what I tried, I did this: In the IntuiText structure defined in the manual, it specifies that ITextAttr is of type TextAttrPtr, which points to a TextAttr structure. So..tried setting the TextAttr up to use the ROMFont, Italic mode, left YSize at…

#ModIntuiText structure
Message #23648
Larry, Hi! Me again. Am working now on the Menu structures in M2, and need some help, specifically: 1) How the h*** can one set the text softstyle in the menu (i.e. want Italics on some menu items), 2) How to set some items so that they are boxed instead…

Another bug in it..If you have extensive menus (say, five, with at least two but not greater than six items/menu), then write it out and Quit, you get an instant software failure and Guru. This happened twice with a uForge 40 meg in the system..

#Modula Problem
Message #23270
hi! Am writing a program in Modula-2 and am getting an annoying problem, which is this: In the program, i have a procedure called OpenLibraries, defined as such: PROCEDURE OpenLibraries () : BOOLEAN' (* oops, replace above with semicolon*) IntuitionBase:= OpenLibrary (IntuitionName,0); IF IntuitionBase = 0 THEN RETURN FALSE END;…

Hmm..For some ideas on StarTerm 3.0, you might want to contact David Berezowski at CBM. He's the guy who did AmigaTerm, the program to be shipped with the CBM modem (am playing with a demo of it now)…The thing is OK, but throughput is BLINDING (I connected it with our…

How can you tell the difference in drives other than sitting there and taking it apart? Is there some sort of cue? If so, where?

Frank; Oh..it's out allright…Whoever did it in my own opinion overdid it.. The thing is over 400K long, and is an almost-exact-duplicate of Lotus. This may or may NOT be a good thing, depending on your opinion of Lotus.. My own opinion was "It DON"T have to be THAT big!…

Mighta missed something..Startup.h IS included, as is icon.h and workbench.h.. What seems to be happening is that the workbench startup message is defined differently in Manx and in Lattice..In Lattice, it's defined as WBenchMsg and the program references it as an extern struct WBArg *WBenchMsg… while in Manx (according to…

Charlie; Well, here goes…The full source is in ICONEX.ARC (IconExec.C) and here's the trouble-causing definition and it's usage. LONG IconBase; extern struct WBStartup *WBenchMsg; extern struct FileHandle *CurrentDir(); wbarg= WBenchMsg->sm_ArgList; if (WBenchMsg->sm_ToolWindow == NULL) Close(file); And the code produced by the Manx compiler (that the linker gags on is _public…

WBenchMsg
Message #20369
Am having some trouble compiling some code and was wondering if any/all could help. What's happening is this: The code is designed to compile under Lattice, and I'm trying to do it with Manx Aztec C (on account of no Lattice) . Now, the file compiles and assembles perfectly, but…

#LATTICE _WBenchMsg
Message #20258
There is a commonly used module in Lattice C called WBenchMsg. This module's job is to help interpet the WBMessage that Workbench sends when it starts a program. Now, I have a program that I'm trying to get to run on Manx C, and Manx does not have this function…

Okidata Driver
Message #20085
Hmmm..You can get that message if the Preferences printer.device can't find the driver… Found that ou the hard way…Are you sure that the EXACT name that you put into Custom Printer Name is "Okidat.dri", not just Okidat? Remember, Preferences don't use any specific filetypes…so if the name that you put…

Rouge heavy levels

All; Has anyone here gotten through Rogue yet? Am on Level 20, and need to know the best way to combat griffins and medusas. The strength level is 17, the hit points are at 61, and I still keep getting killed by these things within four moves or less! It's…
John; Oh, sorry…didn't know. I apologize…….. Oh yes, should warn you…Some people here have strange senses of humor… Anyway, sorry 'bout that… John
Hmm..Upon rereading Ken's message..I find that the system will crash upon REBOOT (Ctrl-Amiga-Amiga)..NOT on exit from program. Presumably this has to do with the self-check that the Amiga does on each reboot. So..it IS feasable to open the WCS and write what's in there out..or patch it dynamically…just have to…

Got this message on "another BBS system"..shows a way that one man has deprotected the WCS. It does have a problem tho..one you return from the program the Amy crashes and you need to re-Kick it. Here it is: Msg: #3338 Sec: 9 – Programmer's Corner Date: 18-MAY-86 01:36 PM…

Hack Graphix Version
Message #19035

International Modem
Message #18431
To tell the truth, I don't know personally of any modems that have both CCITT and Bell standards for 300 and 1200 baud communication…In 2400-baud, nowadays ALL 2400-baud modems use CCITT V.22 bis standards..So if you communicate at 2400 all the time, there will be no compatibility problems. At the…

First, create your Project icon, then save it. Next: Click ONCE on the Icon then go to the Workbench menu and select Info. Once the Info screen comes up, in the Default Tool space type C/EXECUTE. SAVE your work then double-click on the icon and see if it works!
