Thanks George,

I was feeling a bit ignored. I just needed a "We haven't forgotten
about you" message. Have a good weekend.

Cheers,

I have sent at least 6 emails to this group and to nsbasic support
concerning Desktop 1.0. I have yet to get a reply on my problem. Am I not
following the correct procedure?

I've had to stop using the Desktop 1.0 due to problems I've reported, and no
one will give any kind of update.

I see all kinds of replies to other questions, but why can't I get an update
on my problem?

Thanks for the reply.

I'm forwarding the code I wrote (Don't laugh too hard. It's my first try!).
This is my first attempt at Visual *anything*. My last coding was in Cobol a
*long* time ago.

This code when run on my Ipaq, runs fine. But When I bring up the Visual
designer, It comes up on the second form (MathScreen). It won't let me
select the first form (Form1). Again, it runs fine and starts at Form1 which
is the default. When I change the BackColor of the MathScreen form the
software goes to a clock screen and never finishes. I have to close the task
manually from QMenu. In fact it does this for *any* change I make to the
MathScreen form.

This is the same program that causes the trouble I told you about on my
first email.

Hope it helps.

Thanks again.

Chuck Bolvin

You need to DIM x and z before calling test1. If you declare them in
Test1, they go away when Test1 finishes. Put them in your main module.

George Henne

Can you pass variables between function calls?  Example:

'Test Program
call test1
call test2

Function test1
Dim x
Dim z
x=5
z=2
End Function

Function test2
print x
print z
print "This is a test"
End Function

Here is the results: (two blank lines and then "This is a test")



This is a test


I didn't know if I should define the variable differently so that the
variables will pass between function calls?

Thanks

I have found that the order in which I call the scroll bars affects several
aspects of the appearance during run time. If this is the issue, you may
play around with the order you have listed the listbox properties in. I have
found it best to initialize the scrollbars first. It has helped me on many
occasions, mostly in just getting the scrollbars to appear at all, not sure
why though.

I don't know of any samples, but it should be possible using the tools
from DevSoft in The Big Red Toolbox. They work well!

Hi there,

Is there any sample code that would allow me to construct a web server running
on a pocketpc (HP 548).  Any pointers would be good.  (new and registered
user).

S309 picture box is a great add-on, but on my casio E-100 I
encountered some erratic problems. The same program sometimes loads a
jpg image and sometimes not, hanging the palm-Pc. I did not
understand what is the reason. same program, same file, sometimes
works, sometimes not.
I know that NS doesn't support it, but has anybody had the same
experience? did anybody found a solution?

Also with the list box of nsbasic, using the scroll bars makes some
problems.
according to the dimension of the list sometimes you see the border
and sometimes not, for example when the list.height is 180 the border
disappears, but if you change the value to 220 you can see it.
can we consider it a bug?

This is a known item on the PocketPC - check the ReadMe file.

Hi All,

Can the code that is used in the programming Handbook for NS Basic/CE
be entered directly into the Pocket PC?  I have been trying to run
the sample code that is used for INPUTBOX (Pg. 86)which works on the
desktop but not on my IPAQ.  I receive an error pertaining to the
line below, character 0 "Wrong number of arguments or invalid
property assignment".

Return = INPUTBOX("Message area", _
   "INPUTBOX Example", "Default Text")

Are there other things that I will need to do in order to make this
work on the IPAQ??

Tabstrip and Picturebox, as implemented by Microsoft, don't have visible
properties. That (in part) is why Terry wrote the great S309PictureBox.

Ah, but you are part right, Franco.

The visible property is not setable for the Tabstrip or the
Picturebox.  In fact, once the Tabstrip has been placed on a form it
cannot be removed.  Changing the width to zero doesn't even work.  I
had to display a Picturebox over it to cover it up.  However, since
the visible property doesn't work for Picturebox, I had to change the
width to zero for the Picturebox to make it disappear and reveal the
Tabstrip hidden underneath!

The visible property DOES work in the S309PictureBox, but I am a bit
of a purist and prefer to work with the core controls as much as
possible before running off to use outside controls.  I like to
install as few controls as possible and make better use of my system
resources.

Ciao, Denis
The visible property is available and you can use it in NSbasicCE.
(many programs of mine use this property to show or hide single
objects according the needs of the used function).
The problem is that Visual Designer does not support it so if you use
the Designer but you wish on start (for example) to hide some objects
you have to add a separate line of code after the 'Generated code'
lines.
It is not a big problem but  it should more easy to be able to use the
'visible' property into Visual Designer code directly.

Franco Epifani efsoft@...

I have to agree with you there, Epifani.  Many of the objects have
visible properties according to Microsoft, but it is unavailable in
NSBASIC.  It is very tedious using PictureBox objects to hide objects
that cannot be hidden and then playing with the width property of the
PictureBox because it can't be hidden either!

It should be possible to add to the properties handled by Visual Designer

It should be possible add a Timer object to the base language instead of

There's no special support for this in NS Basic/CE, but there really
isn't in Windows CE, either. It's done the hard way, starting from a
click script.

I have a database that I query and load the results into a textbox...

The user can highlight any part and using Ctrl-c, x and v can do the desired
