Subject: (fractdev) type-specific parameters question
Date: 03 Aug 1998 15:30:55 -0700

I'm doing some dynamic dialog building for the type-specific parameters
screen, and it looks like 30 is the maximum number of prompts.  Does
anyone know if any formulas actually use this many prompts?  If none do,
does anyone know what the ceiling value is?

I don't want to get into dynamic window-resizing at this point, but I
also don't want to have a massive, full-screen dialog...

I went down that road, too ... and quickly determined that dynamic sizing
was the only viable method for displaying all of those parameters. It does
get easier once you've done it :)

Yep...  actually, I _should_ have used _TCHAR instead of wchar_t, so I
wouldn't have to worry about defines and stuff.

Yeah, it only took about 15 minutes to get it right.  The thing is, I
feel really sorry for anyone whose got a small screen and 30 parameters
to display...  They won't be laughing when the screen dumps a dialog on
their lap!

Thanks again for the prodding, I would have wasted time trying _not_ to
get dynamic resizing right...

Subject: (fractdev) a programming book of interest
Date: 31 Aug 1998 15:18:04 -0600

Advanced Windows, Jeffrey Richter
<http://www.hamiltonbook.com/titles/5/0/1/501492.html>
$8.95 (retails for $45, includes CD-ROM)

I have a copy of this book and it is a good reference for learning
about the Win32 details of: memory management, process management,
device/file I/O, thread management, etc.  It notes the differences in
system support between Win NT and Win 95/98 (i.e. the security calls
are unimplemented on Win 95/98 but are described in full detail).

I'm not affiliated with Hamilton, except as a satisfied repeat
customer.  Hamilton sells remainder books at heavy discounts and only
charges $3 shipping per order, regardless of how many books you
order.
