Does anyone out there use GadToolBox regularly? I have used it a good bit, but only recently checked out my source code with ENFORCER and I found that the code that was written produced many hits. Just to check, I tried ENFORCER on GadToolBox itself and found that when I selected my screen mode and the program began, I got about 8 enforcer hits (long reads) and it was consistantly hitting after that. I am not an advanced programmer so I really can't do much with the output of enforcer, other than realize there is a problem. Does anyone have any hints about possible problems in the output code so that they can be corrected by hand? I am using version 1.3, is there a newer version out there? Thanks, Bill – via Whap!

About the only way to track down where the hits are coming from is to use a source level debugger (CPR or Manx's debugger) and step thru the code until you get a hit — then fix it. -sja

Gee, Steve, we don't use CPR or SDB (we use MetaScope, natch) and we chase down enforcer hits just fine. As a matter of fact, we even added a feature to MetaScope to help find such problems.

MetaScope's a bit too esoteric for me — I don't grok all those 0s and 1s.

I take it you don't have any trouble with all those 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and Fs tho.

Right, it's only the 0s and 1s that get me <grin> -sja

Hmmm…. It seems I must have missed the beginning of this thread, but I'll jump in here anyway… Has anyone else been using the current version of GadToolsBox ? I have, and like it very much, but the IntuiText stuff doesn't seem to be showing up in my windows. The new BevelBox stuff works fine, but no code is generated to do the texts. Seems rather strange; I'm probably doing something wrong (again) … or could it be a bug? … a message Whap!'ed from scenic Boring, Oregon by Jeff P.

Jeff, I don't know — I don't use GadToolsBox. -sja

Jeff: I do believe I have just recently generated some stuff with the v1.3 of Ga of GadToolsBox (that is the latest, isn't it?), and I'm sure I had some IntuiText stuff. If I remember right, it was moved out of the main initialization routine into some sort of "Render" routine which also (I think) does the bevel boxes. I'd have to go check to be sure, but that's how I remember it. Steve

Ahem.. excuse my stuttering…

Stephen: Well, the version I have seems to be 1.3, also, but I'm definately not getting Intuitext stuff. Bevel-boxes, yes, and the render function also, but no titles anywhere. What kind of screen (public vs. custom vs. workbench) are you using? … a message Whap!'ed from scenic Boring, Oregon by Jeff P.

Jeff: Ummm… workbench screen, I'm sure. Geez since this thread started I haven't even gone back and looked at the stuff I used from GadToolsBox, but I am sure about the screen. Steve
