- Hi,
- I wonder if anyone who is fluent with Arexx and/or RexxArpLib can
- help me.
-
- I'm using Arexx and RexxArpLib to create a window full of button
- gadgets that basically builds text strings and then outputs them
- to a file. This is working fine. However, I need to be able to
- have certain gadgets call up 'sub-windows' that perform more
- complicated operations and send results back to the main host.
-
- I think that my main problem is that I don't really understand the
- difference in Arexx between a host and a port... duhh..
-
- - I thought that I could have one host in charge of all of my
- functions with different port names to identify them.... Would this
- work? Or do I need a different host name for each one?
-
- - I want to avoid the little delay that occurs when setting up a new
- host & port, so would like to be able to close a sub-window while
- leaving its host and port ready for next time it's called up. If
- I can use one function to create all my ports and hosts, I'd
- prefer to do it that way. Is this possible with RexxArpLib?
-
- Any suggestions or examples of how to do this would be gratefully
- received! (and email replies would be preferred.)
-
- Cheers,
- Dale
