Re: The Math.Sign function with x = -0.

I am (mostly) with Robert on this issue.
Conceptually there is no such thing as -0. There is only one zero, 0.
The sign of zero is 0.

Implementation should not affect that concept.

Re: issue-#187 adding a run-time debugger to BlackBox

Well, Doug, this is almost the same. Isn't it clear what "It" refers to? The problem with the proposed change is that there are 3 sentences starting with "The run-time debugger", which to me doesn't sound good. In general I agree that the user manual part may be improved. Some t...

Re: issue-#187 adding a run-time debugger to BlackBox

Josef, From a user's point of view much of what you have written is irrelevant. Do I care if there are one or two blackbox processes? No! I suggest you begin the Docu with the simplest possible example that will pop up the debug tool. After that you can have what you have written. Doug I think we m...

Re: issue-#187 adding a run-time debugger to BlackBox

Robert, I agree all of that is confusing. Here is what I finally figured out. Just create a menu item like "Debug" "" "DevDebugCmds.DebugCommand" "" Then select the command in the module you wish to debug, e.g. MyPaint.Run A tool pops up and variables can be e...

Re: brainstorming Strings extensions

If String (SString) is introduced then the question is if there are any meaningful
operations on it.
I frequently return a string from a function.

Re: Compile & Unload

Doug, the problem is that you get two menu items with the same shortcut Ctrl-K. Which one should be chosen? I think this is resolved by Windows, not by BlackBox, from left to right and top to bottom. You must use a shortcut that is unique. - Josef OK I have solved my problem by creating a tool that...

Re: Compile & Unload

After writing this topic I realized that I could put compile and unload into MyMenus. However, on a quick check that does not work. I removed my Dev subsystem first and put "Compile" "K" "DevCompiler.CompileAndUnload" "TextCmds.FocusGuard" into My/Rsrc/Menus I...
