BlackBox Framework Center

In the spirit of reducing the number of /USE specific modifications of the framework
I request that the default ^K behavior be changed to Compile and Unload.

As it is now I have a Dev/Rsrc/Menus file solely created for that purpose.
I would think several of you probably also use that option.

Josef,
So you are saying there is no need to modify Dev/Rsrc/Strings,
just put everything into Ctls/Rsrc/Strings?

I've done that and it seems to work fine.

Hence the Quick-Start documentation for Ctls needs to change to reflect that fact.

-Doug

So we see there is a conceptual problem. Speculatively one should have a pointer from one's /USE Strings file to the frameworks Strings file and the framework on execution merges those two files. That might work for Strings but would not work for Host files which are code and merging would make no s...

There is no such problem with an unmodified version of build 951. This must be caused by your own modifications. Check the /USE option. Check if you have a modified version of Dev/Rsrc/Strings in use. - Josef Indeed I do. That points up a design failure. If an application (in this case Robert's Ctl...

In Dev/Rsrc/Strings I find

From Dev/CPT PROCEDURE FPrintErr* (obj: Object; errno: SHORTINT); (* !!! *) BEGIN IF errno = 249 THEN DevCPM.LogWLn; DevCPM.LogWStr(" "); DevCPM.LogWPar("#Dev:InconsistentImport", GlbMod[-obj.mnolev].name, obj.name); err(249) ELSIF obj = NIL THEN (* changed module sys flags *) IF...

I no longer see the variables that are new.
Version 1.71-b1
Build number 951

I thought we were going to differ this issue until a complete workaround was developed.

Robert, thank you for the pointer to here (was that from memory or do you have a search algorithm?)

The addition I would like to add is the export happens at compile time
(the .osf is modified)

-Doug

Sorry, I know this was discussed. I just don't know where. (How can I search the whole Board index?) I have an extensive module called MyVectors for which it would be very useful to see the (** comments **) exported for each procedure in the sym file. As it is now I must go back and open the source ...
