Ken: >>> Inside Macintosh volume 5 describes the ictb resource, with which one can control the color and font of individual dialog items. However, ResEdit offers nothing but hex for editing them. Does anyone have tools to help? (A ResEdit template, a better dialog editor, or a recommendation for a…
Mark: >>> Have you ever used Hypercard, SuperPaint, Excel, Lotus 1-2-3, MS Word, or many others that use this funny thing called a floating window?
David: >>> Tell you what. You sit down at your Macintosh and write the code to handle a single closeable, resizeable, zoomable window on the Macintosh all with a standard Apple menu and a minimal File menu. Then I'll sit down at my PC and do the same thing in…
Eric: >>> My string is a Pstring. I copied it into temp because I read something about "not having access to your globals (A5)…" I didn't know what that was telling me, so I thought maybe I should define it within the function.
Eric: >>> memcpy( tempStr, gNotifyStr, strlen(gNotifyStr) ); > err = NMInstall( (NMRecPtr) &myNote); RemoveQueue( &myNote ); … Can you please tell me why this *^&@# thing won't work!
>>> Could you elaborate on the benefits of why an app should send invalidate messages immediately, and only draw when it gets the update events?
DW: >>> If I am using NewHandle(), HLock(), HUnlock(); do I still need to use StripAddress() ?
Jody: >>> By the way, is it really important that the number of bytes per row be even (i.e. word aligned) ? Because it didn't complain on most machines I tried when I had an odd number of bytes in a row.

John: >>> I use the 'ri' command. This is NOT Internet. People pay for their time.

John: >>> There's no need to quote… what do you think this is, Internet? 🙂
Peter: >>> If I do need the asm should I be using #pragma parameter ….. e.g. to force use of d0 > But I am guessing ASL is Arithmetic Shift Left and ROL is Rotate Left.
Ken: >>> Look at the Memory Manager chapter in Inside Mac Vol. I for details about the block header. I think Vol. VI has more info about how these data structures were changed for System 7
Darren: I think the example in Think Ref is bad. In main(), item 3 is set to be a userItem with draw procedure UserProc. In UserProc(), the list is built and drawn into the rectangle properly, and then item 3 is set to be a userItem with draw procedure theList…

Joe: Is the A6 chain still valid during GrowZone? I know that the Think C Debugger loses track of the call chain during the GrowZoneProc, but I haven't actually studied it in TMON to determine whether or not it's the Memory Mgr that's using A6 for something other than a…

Rob: >>> We use a combination of your approach (checking to see if it's in the call chain) and queueing segments until the main event loop is reached before it is de-queued.

Greg: >>> All of the windows appear at the correct location when viewed in ResEdit, but when I run my Pascal program, the first one appears in the middle of the screen, while the other 3 appear in their proper locations.
Michael: Did you #include in your source file? Think C 6 is much stricter on prototype checking than is Thin C or previous versions of Think C. Without the the prototype from , the compiler doesn't realize that printf has a variable argument list; from your first reference, it infers…
Travis: Like Dennis said, putting your project inside the Symantec folder is a no-no. That "Projects" folder within the Symantec folder is where you can store _aliases_ to your projects in order to make those projects permanently appear in the "Switch to project" submenu. Steve

Rich: >>> And I'm sure you wouldn't be surprised to learn that in addition to PCs, I'm a Rush Limbaugh fan.
