|
|
VDS 5's help file index isn't complete. It lacks most/all of the new commands and
functions, which can be annoying. |

I noticed that the new line-feed function, @LF(), was not included in the
help file.  _________________ FreezingFire

Will there be a more updated help file released any time soon? _________________

If not, we could always update it ourselves. Although it would not be an
official release, HTML Help files can easily be updated by anyone with
Microsoft's tools for it.
However, Commerical-Research Ltd. seems to be very serious about
keeping VDS up to date, and I think if they are made aware of this
we will most likely see a fast update.  _________________ FreezingFire

Yeah, hope your right
BTW, I remember from the old site that it had a login page for licensed users, but I can't find one on the new site... Is it there and I've gone blind? Or is it under development? _________________

That PID finder and the paint script you made is pretty cool
Thanks for sharing. _________________

That area is still under development.

I like to make open-source things because everybody can learn from them.
Thanks for the compliment too.
BTW, I am working on a few menu APIs, and I have creating a default
menu item (the bold item) working. Someday I hope to add support for
adding bitmaps next to the items. It is entirely possible directly in VDS 5!  _________________ FreezingFire

Wow, sounds cool.
It's kinda ironic.
Now that I have bought VDS 5, I don't have much time to play with it.
But I got my old laptop in the kitchen that I sometimes site and play with when I get the chance.
I looked at the code for the drawing script, and I have no idea how it works
Guess I still have a long way to go and much more to learn  _________________

Well if you look closely you'll be surprised at how simple it is!
Basically it simply has a structure like this:
:Click
while {mousedown}
{place text element at current mouse position}
wend
Of course there are more tidbits of code thrown in, and it could even be
improved upon...  _________________ FreezingFire
