Hi, I encountered some problems again.

What I am trying to do is to open a window and take care of information.

Right now I am using the dos.library-comand Read() to get
information on events from the GUI - this is not an arexx-script.
After I have created the GUI and opened it via "open", according to the
manual I must make a call to "continue" in order to read windowevents
continously after I have made a modify-call and changed for example a
button.

Quote:
;--

"WE do not want to modify anything at this time but we still need to send the
continue line so the pipe will stop looking for modify lines and send us
another event.
'continue'
The line read from the pipe should be
'ok'"

<snap>

You keep reading an event then sending modify commands until the end of file
is received. You could also close the pipe after the close event is read.

;--
End quote

However as I want my program to be non-halting (and Read() doesn't return
until data is available) I use a call to Seek() in order to see if there is
pending
data before calling FGets(). This seems to work fine but the problem is the
need for a call to "continue" after I have done a "modify" and the fact that the
pipe
now starts to wait for an event.

My GUI though needs to be "fed" from a standalone program which can send
"modify"-commands to it any time. This seems to cause a clog in the pipe.

So, in short, how can I let the program listen for both gui-events and send
"modify"-calls and NOT clog the pipe?

I hope you understood what I was rambling about :)

Thank you Bruce for the clarifications, I had totally overseen the 'modify'
option to
'title'.

Chreers!

Hi Peter.
Welcme to the list

troubles with your text are ....

'modify' was not stated in the window definition (1st line) .
window definition was on the 2nd line not 1st .
When modifying some gadgets like strings you must also use the 'refresh' (ref)
keyword to force the gadget to refresh itself
was not a script (it's not practical to use modify / continue in a file designed
to be simply copied to awnpipe: )

see the attachment for some modifications :)

I hope this helps :)

I've included a small file for you to try, what happens is that I am not

not sure what you mean

i tried to cut-n-paste the above text to see what you mean but it's only the
bottom gadgets not the rest of the gui

send the whole GUI  (privately if you want)  ,, i'll have a look

not sure

it seems to be a bug in awnpipe

i'm having the same problem with that FTP prog of mine

maybe it's because list items arent added until after the window opens?
maybe we need to do some layout tricks ?

well he no longer recieves mail from this list (he is subscribed but only for

call GUI     'Layout Bevel 0 SpaceInner'

This gives the separator bar but also extra space at the sides and at the

Wow , I finally discovered how to operate FTP via ARexx :)

  so atm i am writing an AWNpipe GUI FTP client :)

  WHAT !!!
  In ARexx ??
  But it will just be a text file that anyone can hack about to suit their own
needs !
  .................................    hehehe ,  Exactly ;^)

  Currently when the file manager window opens the lists are the same size as the
gadgets
  It all fits properly if you resize the window with more length.

  I attached a preview :)   (has some debug output n stuff)

  so far it has a configurable server list
  can log-in to your ftp server
  list the local/remote dirs
  and you can navigate about the dirs on both sides by double clicking list
entries or pressing the parent button
  it uses RXSocket.library so will work on WinUAE

  todo:
  delete files
  transfer files
  chmod
  loads more

  Watch this space :)

Try 'weightbar' :)

------------------------------

oh , sorry i didn't read that right :)

the normal way would be to give the horizontal layout object for the buttons a
bevel

ie..

layout b 3  (or 2 or whatever (am not looking at the docs right now:))
button gt "_Save"
button gt "_Use"
button gt "_Cancel"
le


Hope this helps :)

you could give the pipe an arexx port ....
call topipe('arexx gt "MYPORTNAME"')

or use ARexx's CreatePort() command

and then just use
if show('p','MYPORTNAME') then

:)

It should check whether the library needs to be loaded, not doing so is
a mistake. But this isn't the cause of the error previously reported,
the message is different, so the library must have already been loaded
by another script.

The only way to check for sure is to run the script immediately after a
reboot, making sure no other ARexx scripts have been run.

No, delete() is an ARexx function, from rexxsupport.library. But the
script is doing nothing with the value returned by delete, it could use
"call delete(..."

In fact, the "if exists()" call is unnecessary as delete() does give an
error if passed a non-existent file.

WinErr 011: Window open - Do not look outside

Hi All

It's very quiet on this List, but now i have an question:

Is it possible to add support for automatic sort listbrowser
entrys if the user click on listbrowser title?

and an little arrow to identify the current sortorder?
(like Mui's NListviews)

I know Reaction support automatic sort listbrowsers
but i don't know about the arrows in listbrowser title... :-(


BTW: if i run tutorial4.rx i get follow error message:
+++ Command returned 10
+++ Error 16 in line 276: Function did not return value
+++ Error 16 in line 68: Function did not return value
+++ Error 16 in line 15: Function did not return value
Command returned 10/16: Function did not return value

i think in lines 276 and 277 an "address command"
missed! right?

Additional: tutorial4.rx and tutorial4.c it's not the same
because in .c the max age defined as 99 and in .rx as 115.

Hi .

i think it is to do with the "tick" statement
you are not reading the extra line tha pipe would send from the tick..
try something like this loop instead ...

do forever
   PW_EventInfo = readln('PreviewWin')
   if word(PW_EventInfo, 1) == 'key' then leave
   call writeln('PreviewWin', 'tick=1')
   PW_EventInfo = readln('PreviewWin')

OK

http://awnp.port5.com  now works (sort of)
i also set up http://awnp.netfirms.com

the netfirms acc has banners but is a lot better than the port5 one
the port5 acc has server problems more often (unable to get ftp
access) but it lacks the banners.

can some of you good people please check that you can get access to
both sites. (if there are routing problems with any of them then i
can remove it)

i will have to decide wich one to keep and which one to delete.

Hi all

It seems that ukonline are changing their polocies to remove some of their
