I guess people in Power Basic have a sense of humour. It seems you can only use PB Forms 1.51 to design Dialogs that are capable of running on the computer you use to design the Dialog. Tried to create a Dialog 1600 pixels wide on my 1280 pixel wide screen. It wont let me, keeps reducing the Dialog to 1280 pixels HUH that limitation isn’t part of the sales specs nor does it give any warnings or options.
My clients that don’t have modern wide screens are all buying to match the data they need to see, actually I did too but the integrated Graphics of this 4YO computer can’t use it so tomorrow will get new add in graphics card.
As it is urgent I tried to spend the night getting a head start writing the program. Can’t lay out the screen.
Program I am updating already has many hundreds of controls but I want to add another hundred.
Sent an email to support, am I missing something etc and got a classic two line response I quote “PB Forms will not let you create a dialog box that is larger than the current screen resolution. You can change these sizes in the PBWin after saving the source from PB Forms.”
First part of the answer is accurate and informative, the second part
perhaps the programmer should try laying out a thousand controls when you can’t see where they will finish up.
I had two other questions, is there a fix? No answer.
Will the next version (which Bob has posted will be soon) have the same limitations? No answer.
