LB Booster forum

I hear what you say, but it is confusing if the Manual and the Programmer's Reference don't agree. Are you saying that we should ignore the manual and use the Programmer's Reference? I'd be quite happy with that, although my normal first step would be to go to the Manual. LB 5! It's progressing, but...

The difference seems to be where you tried to access the Wiki. I accessed it from the link to the Manual, where clicking on 'include provides a description of its use and includes the following text See this Wiki article for more information , where Wiki is a link (unfortunately not reproduced here)...

I think that covers the ground that there Wiki would have done. It is the Wiki: nothing was lost when Conforums and Wikispaces closed, the content was all safely moved to new homes. The reason I referred to the Wiki was because there is a link to it on three LB Booster page, which is dead. I think ...

I think that covers the ground that there Wiki would have done.

LBB allows the use of INCLUDE files with 'include filename.bas at the very end of the file. RTR's description of LBB includes a reference to a Wiki article about include files. Of course, Wiki no longer exists. Does anybody have a copy of this Wiki article that they could post a link to?

Thank you Richard

I'll have to see if I can find a way around it.

I found a program "BookmarkManager.bas" in the Just Basic Archives. Currently it only deals with Just Basic and Liberty Basic and I thought about extending it to incorporate the Just Basic Archives (where I have found one or two useful programs) and LBB. It runs fine in JB and LB but comes...

Hi Richard It's my poor coding. It was under my nose and I couldn't see it! As you say, BBC Basic and most other languages I know have a flag at the end of the textbox statement, which is why I think it is more logical; draw the control and then decide what you want to do with it. As you say Stylebi...

Or maybe if I moved maphandle out of the Select Case section and dropped it down the code to just above next and then had the Stylebits before the textbox and it works as I expected it to. However, I still think that logically you should produce the textbox before deciding what format it should take...

Richard i hear what you are saying, but I didn't just put the statements in a FOR..NEXT loop, I put the statements in a SELECT CASE within the FOR..NEXT loop. The Stylebits and textbox statements come under CASE 10 and I would expect that in evaluating CASE 10 all other CASE statements would be igno...
