BlackBox Framework Center

This voting is about including the changes to the documentation for Controls with the current unstable release.

Here is the discussion on the topic
http://forum.blackboxframework.org/view ... f=48&t=468

and here is the Diff file
http://redmine.blackboxframework.org/pr ... 456e/diff/

A push button is either linked to a parameterless exported procedure.

1 - This is not English, or rather it is poor English.

2 - It is wrong. Command Buttons, as they were called, can be linked to other procedures than just parameterless Commands. For clarity some rewording in necessary. (And is parameterless a word?)

I don't have time myself to look at this this week. (I suddenly find I am more busy than planned as I have just realised that I only have until Friday to upgrade my PC from XP to Windows 10. Another job that is bound to take longer than one thinks it will.)

In addition to Robert's concerns, which I share, I would like to point out that
there are numerous places in BlackBox where the term 'command button' is used
for a push button. The Controls docu should document this alias name in some way.
This was so in the previous version and is important information that must not be removed.

In its current form I vote NO.
If the bugs are fixed I will of course change my vote.

So I agree that reference to command button must be restored in Controls.
I'll take a look at it.

Still misleading. Command Buttons can be linked to many PROCEDURE signatures, not just parameterless ones.

Got ya (I didn't actually know that). Josef has pointed me to StdInterpreter which explains those procedures. I have
modified the Controls text to mention that. Take a look at what I wrote at http://forum.blackboxframework.org/view ... f=48&t=468
and tell me if that is better.

About which version do we vote here?
Doug's text or Robert's text?
To the latest link 593 I have to say no. I prefer Robert's version of change.
