Nomads / Re: Nomads Library Key - Byte (13,1)
« Last post by steezware 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 / Re: Nomads Library Key - Byte (13,1)
« Last post by PxPlus on September 08, 2023, 11:52:37 AM »Columns 13,4 are used to effectively sort the panel definition based on line/column so when drawing the controls get created from top left thru bottom right. The logic basically converts the column / line to their standard numeric value ("00"->"99") or if they exceed 100 they are replaced with a hex value meaning the first byte (13) will not exceed "F" as the lines number is not allowed to be greater than 255.
Other panel information such as grid presets, menus, etc will have values whose first character (byte 13) is above "F" and indicates the type of information.

Nomads / Nomads Library Key - Byte (13,1)
« Last post by steezware 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!

Wish List / Re: Weeknumbers in multiline-calendar
« Last post by koenv on September 06, 2023, 08:30:48 AM »Apparently ISO8601 weeknumbers are not always a thing outside of Europe (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Week#Other_week_numbering_systems).
Since the calendar / datepicker looks like a Windows control I was hoping Windows could just take care of it, somehow.

« Last post by Thomas Bock on September 06, 2023, 08:02:54 AM »I think ISO 8601 can help here.
If you add a week to the calendar, then it is important to handle the weeks 52, 53 and 1 correctly.

« Last post by koenv on September 06, 2023, 06:59:31 AM »I was expecting Outlook to use the regional settings in Windows, but it looks like the regional settings only has a first day of the week option.
Outlook has it's own "first week of the year" setting which defaults to "first week with 4 days". Possibly based on other regional settings such as my country?

Off Topic / New Posts on the Forum
« Last post by James Zukowski on September 05, 2023, 03:34:10 PM »It seems that when we try to post a new topic on the Forum, it takes quite a while before an error is returned that isn't really an error. The message actually gets posted but the error message says not. As a result, several people (including myself early on) have posted the topic again, only to find it creates a second entry.
Is there any way to get this cleared up?

Language / Re: 'DROP' mnemonic with ERR= clause
« Last post by PxPlus on September 05, 2023, 03:22:31 PM »Technically the 'DROP' mnemonic is really just a function that returns the escape sequence required to drop the specified window.
For example its perfectly legal to code:
X$ = 'DROP'(win_num)
This will result in an escape sequence that can be output to console (channel 0). Any/all mnemonics are really just escape sequences that can be output to a device.
As for the ERR= clause, it would have been triggered if the window number was invalid (such as a negative number or non-integer)
