 Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2003 10:30 pm Post subject: VDS DDE Server Bug |
 |
|
When using the following macro for the VDS IDE, I found that it overwrites
the line I specify, and doesn't insert a line. As stated from the help file:
| Quote: | [INSERT(n,<string>)]
Inserts a line of text before line n in the currently selected page in the editor. Returns "**EOF**" if n is greater than the number of lines in the file. |
The macro doesn't work that way:
| Code: | | DDE EXECUTE,[INSERT(0","@item(LIST1))] |

Nope, brackets should be there, Skit..
As far as I can tell FF's syntax is correct (I dunno about the quoted comma after the line number, I
think I would leave the comma unquoted, though).

Well, I was wrong! Actually the comma must be quoted for some reason..
This code works for me:
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,0,0
DIALOG SHOW
DDE LINK,VDS,System
DDE EXECUTE,[INSERT(3","newline inserted)]
%%result = @DDEITEM(DDEResult)
info %%result
DDE TERMINATE,VDS |

The quoted comma is there because that is how the macro is made for it.
That's the syntax of it. 
My problem is that it overwrites the line, not inserts a line. Look at this
code, it should insert a line at the top of the script.
| Code: | DIALOG CREATE,New Dialog,-1,0,0,0
DIALOG SHOW
DDE LINK,VDS,System
DDE EXECUTE,[INSERT(0","newline inserted)]
%%result = @DDEITEM(DDEResult)
info %%result
DDE TERMINATE,VDS |

Yup, that seems like a bug all right! This behavior could be very unpleasant when your previous lines
just vanish in thin air...

I tried to make a tool to manage some code lines, and they need to be
inserted at the top of the script. But this overwrote my lines and I'd really
like to control it via DDE because it can't really go wrong compared to
sending text to the window, etc.
Thanks for confirming this, Dr. Dread!

No. I'm just fixing the bugs. It's up to Commercial research when they release the update.
