Got it workin! It was dumb. I was registering the kixforms.dll in the %programfiles%\bbchecker directory. I had to acctually copy it to winnt\system32 and overwrite to the alpha version and then re-register it.

Sorry!

Anyhow Jooel, this is SWEET! I can't wait to figure out how in the hell this works!

jim, that ain't so hard
just use kix and put some code which uses some objects and that's all there is [Big Grin]

anyway, with the rc2 you would not have this problem, would you?

regsvr32 is a funny util - if you don't specify the fully qualified path to the DLL (on the command-line) it will first search in system32 and if not found - then in your current directory ...

jooel, this is probably some rehash, but what outstanding items (kixforms issues) do we have right now ? is the only thing left hanging this slider issue thingy - is that it ? 'cause, once you finalize BBChecker - I want to use your script (and Bryce's) as a baseline for TNG - once everything checks-out ok with that - will release shortly after that.

Great script! Three suggestions...

1) Is it possible to make the popup passive enough that it doesn't take the focus from your active window?

2) Is it possible to make the bbChecker show the forum that the posted script is in?

3) Is it possible to make the bbChecker just watch a particular forum or a particular thread?

chris,
the first one is not possible.
if it would be like you want, you would not see it at all if you have full sized window.
I may add disable switch for it too.
also the forum info is possible. it's actually build in. I just did not use it as it takes additional space.
to show only messages of particular forum is major change and it can't be implemented before next release.

shawn,
at the moment the slider is the only problem.
also, once you get your TNG somehow done, I understood it can be done really easily.

if you want to, you can go with this release or do I make it official before you want to touch it?

anyway, next board update should be in some weeks and I would be ready to wait until that before releasing but anyway, this version is not going to change anymore.
I really like to get your TNG out.

I can focus on some admin stuff as I'm waiting for it.
then might also update my other scripts (like the codeparser)...

what you think?

Jooel, yeah, would like it very much if you could cap things until TNG gets out. Im really struggling to get free time right now ... work and family are bearing down on me (ps. i'll be away this weekend) ... once I get back, I'll be back at it. Once TNG is behind us, the very first thing I would like to work on is MultiColumn listboxes ... that would be a real boon to BBChecker, yeah ?

yeah. ot's just one script which would love that.

anyway, the testing with your tng code...

I don't care about really broken alpha but something more like workable beta to crawl into and perhaps even start gathering pieces for chm...

so, just keep somewhat updated what's going on with your busy'ness and I'll make my schedule around that.

Jooel,

Just studying your latest and greatest BBChecker ... question ... why did you move the slider to a seperate script, and use the run command ... did that solve some problem you were having ?

yes.
your dll was hanging (it was in the last thread)...
only solution I found to get it work was to use separate process.
it worked. but then someone asked to remove the autominimize and after removing it (in main script) it stopped working properly.

the form still responds but does not draw anymore.
if you add form.show(2) just before the call to slider() it should work fine again.

that's what I said before when told I didn't see any fix in the show code.

Jooel, I could really use some help with the docs - major big time - Rod (rclarke) has also offered some assistance ... I think all we really need is a shortlist of objects, properties and methods ... without alot of examples and verbage ... just straight and to the point ... but most of all ... accurate and up-to-date [Wink]

I gave Jim a copy of the alpha because I wanted him to check-out the support for EDITABLE COMBOBOXES and MOUSE CURSORS ... but the problem is that it won't be BBChecker ready until late next week ... its still missing some important stuff. Im going to send it to you now ... standby ...

can't stand by as all vpn ready machines are at the work where I get in 6 hours.

anyway, KISS is more than good for keeping the stuff readable.
and easibly updateable.

anyway, I'll check what my vC++ stuff can do and how much of the process can be automated as I hate doing even pinging without some nice script [Big Grin]

will get back tomorrow.
if I fall accidentally asleep...

Jooel,

In my case ther's something strange happening...

I start BBchecker and continu my work. Then when a new post arrives I get the beep and the slider, but when I try to max the bbchecker appl. I only get a thin grey line...

Working with W2k SP2 and your scripts/exe/dll from the "source" dir.

patrick, that's what is supposed to be happening. the source dir has current sources which are fully different from rc2 ones.
if you install with rc2, it works fine.

I had to put the sources there to show also others what I'm fighting with.
and maybe get some ideas.

anyway, if you go to bbchecker code and modify the line:
if $focus=0 slide($msg.caption) $form.height=$tmp inline() endif

to look like this:
if $focus=0 $form.show(2) slide($msg.caption) $form.height=$tmp inline() endif

it should work just fine...

Shawn,

I'm sorry! I haven't been the best alpha tester, I'm on vacation in beautiful Key West next week and I've had to tie up a lot of loose ends. It sure is hard work going on vacation!

I promise when I get back to rewrite my code into KixForms!

And Jooel, I already e-mailed you about the hosting. I'm going to bump the gallery.kixtart.org post.

See you both in 10 days!

jim, I'll be waiting.
as my script is geting to the final, currently already named to rc3 (not yet packaged), I'll get more time to play with hosting stuff...

also will try to replace you on the beta-testing seat for these 10 days.

you'll be back with new blood and fresh thinking. have a good vacation!

regards
