There is yet an easier way. If you want to register/unregister DLL/OCX/EXE (DCOM) files alot, check out this Context Menu Add-in.

Have fun!

But if i remember correctly, in a previous thread, Lonkero was looking for the possility to register a dll in kixtart. Starting from this one, I suppose Lonkero is looking to unregistered it in the same way.

cheers,

I have had no problems yet in registering those gems (all the way from kixlib32 over every build up to 18 of kixbgi32 to latest kixforms build) by simply copying (and registering) them once in %systemroot%\system32\ and just replacing them by more recent versions .... Since the glorious days of Kixbgi32 I have now a 'SendTo'-shortcut pointing to my System32

otherwise, some other script or program may fail to run.
that's what I ment with can't.

code:

---

shell "regsvr32 /u /s %Systemroot%\system32\anydll.dll"
del "%Systemroot%\system32\anydll.dll" 

---

or what?
using console, makes it slower...

sometimes the i hack the lines w/o thinking (more and more lately )

... So just leave then the dll as is :
registered and present when 'uninstalling' a script that runs it ...

I see the problematic now ... but hey , try a count of dll's on a system running for more than half a year and compare with a similar system that has all additional Software uninstalled ... think this would be an eye-opener

Treat it as 'shared component' !!!

I've made an executive decision. Im going to change kixforms to go back to the old execute() style of event handling. Other than us three, no one on the board has given any feedback in terms of one strategy vs the other. Either nobody cares about which strategy is used, or nobody cares about the snappins in general ... Undaunted, Im going to keep pluggin away at building them because a) they are fun to use and b) they do have pratical use. And maybe it will take some time before the pluggins are accepted by the kixtart community at large ... the one thing that doesn't help kixforms is the fact that there is no manual ... a situation i will correct after the initial beta in done ... kix on my brothers !

MANY TAK °!

so now i can go and port hearts(bgi) seriously ...

even thou that means my scripts need to be upgraded...

Its not that none of us care about the Polling/execute, but it that I don't understand what they mean.

I just know it works and works great.

Thanks for putting the time and effort to make our jobs more satisfying and interesting.

Will,
please, don't take for yourself the statement i've done : Most kixforms and kixwinvb users don't know the debate that actually exist between Shawn and myself with the event handling, as they don't get a deeper look on the other snappin. So each time we asked the question, answer wasn't about this one. After some like that, i completely gave it up.

Also, here are the differences :

Execute() method :

code:

---

$object.move="Eventmove"
$object.resize="Eventresize"
... all other stuff ...
do while $object.visible=1
   $=Execute($object.lastevent)
loop
exit()
function Eventmove
...
endfunction
function Eventresize
...
endfunction

---

Polling method :

code:

---

... all stuff ...
while $object.getevent
  if $object.resize
    ' do your resize stuff
  endif
  if $object.move
    ' do your move stuff
  endif
loop
exit()

---

Shawn, correct me if i'm wrong in my example

Jpols, please, don't $=execute("$Alex.H")

The reason you may be reciving little feedback is because we're all busy trying to get to grips with it (oh how my head hurts) and thinking of new projects to code with it.

thanks for the port to Kix 4 BTW

Question, I have the Command button on top of a Label. When I click on the command I want to make it disappear and leave the Label box with the X or O in it. How do I make the command button dissappear after a click?
