Thanks JB. I'll try your script out in just a bit...

You mentioned that it is easier with version 2.23 beta? I'm using 2.3 beta. The additional properties are there (show hints, hint text), but they are not working. I have text in the "hint" area and "show hints" is set to True.

Am I missing something?
thanks
   

FYI: here's a pic of what I'm working on...

Hi mathmathou, thanks for the link. It really describes in simple terms what is and why you need source/version control. Even if you're just doing programming by yourself, it will make your life so much easier. I have to admit that lately I haven't been  using source control, and there have been times where I really regret it. Losing days of work in not fun
 

Being able to backup your work when it's in working condition is worth it's weight in gold. Here's a site I checked out that might work good for us. https://bitbucket.org/?_mid=3636d6df38e … ApDP8P8HAQ

For teams of 5 or less, it's free, check it out and see what you think. Actually, I already have us an account there in case we decide to use the site.
 
And yes, happy new year to everyone.... (you to Dimitry).

jean... I sent you a note, but don't know if I messed it up or not. If you haven't go a email in a while from MVD, send me an email message.

thanks

Hi guys, I'll try and explain what's going on. Dimitry, I don't get any error. It's just that the image is not stored in the database. I suppose it could be, but it's not showing when I run the program either from the IDE or the EXE.. If you need anything else or have any questions let me know.

Thanks Dimitry, I'll get that a try and let you know

That's ok about the menu. And yes, I have other software running, but I doubt that it would effect the popup menu. I hate to make these kind of posts but I do because I think: Maybe I'm not doing something right?

However, since I have talked to some nice people here, I can ask them questions behind the scenes and won't have to throw out this kind of post.

thanks

Thanks Dmitry. That looks like it will probably work.

I think I just figured out what I can do about the button image thing. I can use a button graphic and call the procedure the regular buttons do. The real buttons can be out of site. So the next question for this beginner is.... how do I call the procedure that the real button calls? I can insert it to the On_Click area of the graphic.
   
Thanks all...

Hi JB. I like the idea of a few of us working together. From what I can tell, our personalities seem quite similar. And that's good. Makes for a happy team. When you talk about finding a theme... are you talking about the forms looking the same way visually? Or are you talking about making a program that does different things, but all in the same vein? An example of the latter would be an application that works like some programs are made now. The have a main form and for all the things that the software can do is fire off smaller applications to do one thing. Make sense? Hope so

And yes, I think the interface should be easy to figure out and work with for end users (if I understand what you are saying). I just thought about something that might be a good example of launching different modules. A lot of utility programs do this. If you have a chance, look at a program called BoostSpeed. It's a good example.

Also, I'm retired too (I'm an old guy). And I program because I not only enjoy it, but it's good for my brain.

Well, this may be premature, but I say that we have a team of four individuals to work on a project. Of course,  no one has committed yet really. But we all have plenty of time to think it over. For me.... my thoughts are: Let's do it

Thanks Dmitry. I thought that was probably going to be the answer. Microsoft has always wanted control of everything

   
Hi Mathias,
 
Cool about some of your background being php. I was never good a programming web stuff, so I admire people who can. When you have some free time, look at the software from BonitaSoft. It's almost like MVD, but made for the web. You might like it.

I would like to thank you both for replying to my question. I didn't know if I would be stoned or what...<g>.
 
I was thinking about something..... Would either of you be interested in doing some software together? We could either use the same code base or make stand alone projects that fit together as a whole (I think that would probably be the best way to go. It might be like I do this part, and you do this part... and so on.
 
Just thinking-------------------- (no pressure, just curios)

Thanks to you both
