Nomads / Re: Nomads Library Key - Byte (13,1)
« on: September 11, 2023, 10:13:39 AM »
That is exactly what I wrote in my post - 'values that approximate the location of a control' and that I know what U, M and X are ... my question was and is what specifically are the F, R, S, V and Y (13,1) 'types of information'?

Nomads / Nomads Library Key - Byte (13,1)
« on: September 07, 2023, 04:25:57 PM »
It's documented that bytes (13,4) of a Nomads record contain 0000 for a header record and then numeric values that approximate the location of a control on the window, and I also know of a few other characters that are used in the 13th byte of the key...
U : User-Defined CTLS
M : Menus
X : Grid settings
...but can somebody let me know (I'm just curious, don't really need to know) what Nomads records the following characters in (13,1) of the key represent...

Thx!

Programming / Menu Bar Height and Font
« on: August 29, 2023, 05:02:25 PM »
I have menu bars defined for some Nomads panels and was wondering if it is possible to modify the size (height) of the menu bar or the font/size that it uses. Maybe increasing the font size would automatically change the menu bar height - that would be nice.
After digging around I couldn't find an INI file override or an 'Option' on-the-fly action that changes the menu bar height/font.
Any suggestions? Thx!

Programming / Re: Accessing a Control on Another Dialog
« on: August 09, 2023, 07:14:02 PM »
Figured it out:
PRINT 'SWAP'
LB'Visible = 0 (I passed the LB control value into the new 'process)
PRINT 'SWAP'
Thx for the 'goto' idea but tried 'swap' first and it worked.

Programming / Accessing a Control on Another Dialog
« on: August 09, 2023, 06:19:35 PM »
So, I'm in a dialog and I want to access/update a control, say a listbox, on the window that spawned the current dialog with focus.
Seems like I used to know how to do this, but maybe it can't even be done?
Thx!

Programming / Programmatic Auto-Complete
« on: July 27, 2023, 01:26:52 PM »
I have a multi-line control with 'Autocomplete defined that works great. What I would like to do is have Nomads auto-complete open when I programmatically assign values to the control, using for example, MULTI_LINE WRITE. But it seems auto-complete only works on keyboard entry. I've tried setting signal-all-changes and messing around with PREINPUT and forcing focus onto the control and so forth, but no luck.
Can autocomplete be made to work without direct keyboard entry? If so, sample code showing how please?
Thx!

Nomads / Re: Possible Nomads Variable Values
« on: July 25, 2023, 11:52:18 AM »
Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. Only question I have is I thought # indicated a numeric multi-line, but that is not shown in the OPT= table.

Nomads / Possible Nomads Variable Values
« on: July 24, 2023, 03:37:26 PM »
Is it documented anywhere what the possible values for Nomads variables can be? For example, I have seen that "L" in OBJ_STS$ indicates a multi-line control is Locked, but what are all the possible values for OBJ_STS? Guess it could be nice to know (or understand) that OBJ_HOTKEY$ is a timestamp sometimes (in the panel/lib default record) and that a numeric mask is stored in the OBJ_TXT$ field. Does a "#" in OBJ_STS$ for a multi-line indicate the 'numeric' option was selected?

Language / TCB(44) Always a Positive Number?
« on: July 10, 2023, 01:17:01 PM »
Here in Utah the value of TCB(44) is 21600, or 6 hours. Applying TCB(45) for DST I get 7 hours, but this number is positive and my GMT is actually -7. Since I am not in a GMT-0 thru GMT+12 zone and cannot test this, does TCB(44) return negative for those time zones between Greenwich and the International Date Line?
