I've updated the VDSOBJ02.DLL 2.4.28.2003, it now has a fully functional maskedit control. It allows user definable masks and comes with an example for social security, phone number, zip, date, time. The help file explains each special mask character you can use so you can easily create your own custom masks.

For instance if you wanted an edit box where a user could enter his phone number you could make a mask like this:

!\(999\)000-0000;1;#

This would create a mask for the MASKEDIT which would only accept/view the phone number in this format: (000)-000-0000 no letters are allowed and only 10 digits can be entered. Empty characters would use the # character until a valid number is entered. This is only one example, the MASKEDIT control allows user definable masks which also can follow some basic rules.

hi pgware,

i was wondering if it'd be possible for you to add support for superscript and subscript in vdsobj for richedit elements? if it's too much hassle, don't bother as i figure that you are a very busy man Smile

thanks in advance

Serge

I see a new upload of vdsobj02.dll on vdsworld -

Does it now work fully with VDS5?

PGWARE · **Web Host** Joined: 29 Dec 2001 Posts: 1562

No unfortunantely it does not. These dll issues are due to VDS 5, Commercial Research needs to provide a fix for VDS 5/DLL issue. Everything within my dll is standard and I can almost safely assume/say the same for all other dll's that are also having problems with vds 5.

Btw the update to the vdsobj simply allows you to now use a window identifier/window handle with the OBJECT CLASS command. This allows you to put the objects within other dialog controls such as group boxes, tabs etc by passing it's window identifier.

Gotcha. Hope the VDS patch is out soon. I'm sure they are working on it.

Okay a new update is available, this hopefully addresses problems with VDS 5. If you guys have the time try it with VDS 5, and for those that have earlier versions of vds please try this new version just to make sure it is still backwards compatible. The dll comes with an installer and pre-made examples so it shouldn't take but a few seconds to install and test.

I'd like to thank Tommy for helping with this fix and for finding the 'possible' fix with vds 5 - dll problems.

Looks like it works here on 4 and 5, besides not having a DIRECTORYLIST1CLICK event Wink

Tested on XP Pro.

Everything works, but I cannot change the color/font of the richedit textbox. I think it's because the focus is loosed when clicking the combo element...

PGWARE · **Web Host** Joined: 29 Dec 2001 Posts: 1562

This is normal with the DIRECTORYLIST1CLICK, the CLICK style wasn't defined in the vds script, adding CLICK to the OBJECT ADD command for the directorylist should fix this.

Also yes whenever the focus is lost the example doesn't keep the position of the cursor/caret thus the font isn't really changed. But if you put the cursor at the end of the richedit, and start a new line then change the font/color it should work. This is just due to a bad example rather then limitation of the richedit.

Quick update: the VDSOBJ was updated a few days ago. AVI (Windows Video) is now supported within vdsobj02.dll.
