TurboVision: Dialogs

[GPFault 0]

To reproduce:

in ndn.dnr in line 3707 ("System Setup" Window, search "VMID")

There is

CheckBoxesE 2, 8, 69, 11, 6, 32, ofPostProcess, ofPreProcess

Enlarge 11 to 12 to make 'Enhanced Wildcards (Copy/Move)' option visible without scrolling

Compile resource

Open "System Setup"

Make different settings for some some first drives

Now you can notice that switching between CheckBoxesE elements switch disk in "Current drive options" too.

 

A suggestion about dialogs:

Now all fast access keys are assigned in resources as ~k~

What about some simple runtime assigning algorithm? So you`ll can forget completly about them in .dnr file.

(i speak only about dialogs, not about other fast access keys and hotkeys)

hi gpf!

 

a)

2 problems in rcp.pas (MakeDriveCheckboxes) and setups.pas (TCurrDriveInfo.HandleEvent)

 

drive checkboxes use every broadcast from a scrollbar sized with 4

 

if you make the "advanced options" value as you suggested this scrollbar also becomes 4,

so the drive checkboxes react on it too

 

i tried to make it a bit more picky about what SB it reacts to

 

B)

good idea of course

but, as you get used to certain hotkeys (like alt-f6... :P) it becomes problematic if they change if you added

or renamed a value inside a dialog

i, f.ex., must always change newly opened file manager windows with a quick ALT-S and A-L-E to get the options i want

 

also, in some dialogs it's handy to name certain objects with a fixed hotkey just because it's logical

 

thanks & regards,
