Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I can't get the location of the label right... don't remember so many years back, but I bet you can take it from: Code: [postprep] global $labeles $labeles = $buttonexit.label $labeles.forecolor = red $labeles.text = "Quit Program" $labeles.ONCLICK = "Quit()" Edited by Lonkero (2012-04-21 03:37 PM) _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	something like this maybe: Code: $labeles.width = len($labeles.text)*6 $labeles.height=25 $labeles.left = ($buttonexit.width-$labeles.width)/2 $labeles.top = 5 I just can't remember what the alignment keywords were. and the button looks a bit funky now. could remove it and use just a label instead. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	Originally Posted By: KIXKicks Kinda...just takes so long to change/remove/format the code for the kixtart.org; I was trying to just provide what I thought was necessary. Have you tried PostPrep? First (sticky) post in the Advanced Topics forum. Just save the block of code to a file, run PostPrep, then post here using "HTML Only" format.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	I don't understand what "change/remove/format" contains other than removing sensitive information from the code. I mean, there is nothing easier than put on the code tags and just drop the code between. postprep is nice but in this case it would just be an extra step. and might actually hit postsize limit with this code already. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

KIXKicks KIXKicks Starting to like KiXtart Registered: 2002-07-26 Posts: 177 Loc: Vancouver, WA	toolbutton sounds like the code I need. Thanks! It is just my coding style I guess (I use tabs but for posting on kixtart.org it looks better to use two space indent). The post window is very small and moving around larger code is a pain (thus the initial reason not to post a lot of the code, sorry Lonkero). Not that I post big code sections a lot but it seems that may be the website could have a code button that would pop up a big window where you could paste and make your changes and then drop it into the post window with code tags. Small complaint...probably not worth the effort. Glen, I didn't know about PostPrep (tend to post in the Basic Section as Advanced is Guru/Master territory). Maybe it would work, but seems just as much work for the occasional long code post.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	so... what is wrong with firing up a notepad with your code and doing the required/wanted changes? only paste the code inside the code tags once you are done. yes, editing code inside the tiny window is painful and thus I really rarely do it just for that fact. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	Postprep is actually a good diagnostic tool - weird color blocks will quickly identify mismatched or unterminated paired objects.. definately worth looking at, just for that. Of course, Sanity (built into KGen) goes several steps further to identify common syntax errors, but PPrep is a nice visual. The ZIP has two versions - GUI and command line. GUI has a sample screen, while the CL version lets you PostPrep an entire folder worth of files. It's how we publish our dev library to our web site every night.

Glenn,

Sanity hates this code:

Code:

$ITAPPS = 
      "$Location - $SERVER - $Action1,$Location,$SERVER,$Action1",
      "$Location - $SERVER - $Action2,$Location,$SERVER,$Action2"

Do I change it to this?:

Code:

$ITAPPS = 
      "' + $Location + '" - "' + $SERVER + '" - "' + $Action1 + '","' + $Location + '","' + SERVER + '","' + $Action1 + '",
      "' + $Location + '" - "' + $SERVER + '" - "' + $Action1 + '","' + $Location + '","' + SERVER + '","' + $Action2 + '"

Ouch!

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	sanity hates it? does this mean it works right but blings at you? or that it doesn't recognize it as being valid? maybe not perfect practise in some opinion but still totally valid kixtart. _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Glenn Barnas Glenn Barnas KiX Supporter Registered: 2003-01-28 Posts: 4401 Loc: New Jersey	Kicks Sanity doesn't hate anything.. it warns you when it finds a syntax error such as mismatched paren or quote, or an unterminated clause. Then, it will prod you when your code doesn't follow some well recognized best practices, such as placing vars or macros inside strings. Sometimes it's not possible to eliminate every Sanity warning without code changes. For example, Sanity doesn't handle quoted strings spread across multiple lines. This is by design, as we want you to be warned of the condition - we'd have no way to know for sure. It's entirely legitimate to put "$" in a string. Sanity will warn simply because it COULD cause a problem, not because it WILL. You need to interpret the output of Sanity and decide if the warning applies to your code. KixForms and Execute statements will particularly throw these warnings for valid code. The warning was valid - you had strings inside quotes. You can choose to ignore the warning because the code works as intended, or modify it as Allen has shown to eliminate the warnings, but verify that the code still works. It really depends on whether you want your string to have variable data or variable names in it, depending on the setting of NoVarsInStrings.
