a reinstall of the include pack did it, dunno why it didn't work the first time...

anyway, your installer works fine here, got a few suggestions...

1. finish text doesn't always show up (the program just exits after installation, is it linked to actually running something when ending? if so, it would be better if the finish text would always show)

2. the 'install window' that shows the installation progress displays some empty lines, would look a little better without those lines :-)

3. when canceled (closed) , the installer still tries to run a program specified

4. a cancel button

in the past there were some problems with this installer under windows nt, does that work now?

It is only shown, when you declare a Finish-Message in the .install.txt.

Ok, maybe i will change this

Ups...

>4. a cancel button

Press the "X" in the upper right corner...

i had a text declared and it didn't show, might it be related to running a program or not when ending?

i know about the 'x'... however, there are still quite a few idiots in this world... :-) but it's not that important

oh, three more suggestions:

1. an option to display release notes y/n (show release notes y/n)

2. perhaps an option that would change the 'ok' buttion in the first screen to 'i agree' (so agreeing means people agree to a license being displayed)

3. at one moment the system ask for confirmation on overwrite, there's no cancel option there (and this is a typical place where people want to cancel) this might be difficult to accomplish though

in general, i think japbe is quite a piece of work, i use it a lot (hey, people complain about it, but i like it thus far)

I don't know what you exact want.

Who read license (and in germany such click-license are not [jetzt versagt mein englisch: kein rechtsgültiger Vertrag] )

FirstScreenConfirm = y / n
I know people don't read them etc. but it just looks nice :-)

Release notes is basically launching notepad with a specified file :-)

something like this:

Code: Select all

[Container]
/English
Name                         = Show Release Notes
/Deutsch
Name                         = Entwicklungsnotizen zeigen

Path                         = F:\alternate rich\
files                        = ShowReleaseNotes.exe
includeSubdirectorys         = no
destination                  = %temp%\
runprg                       = %temp%\ShowReleaseNotes.exe
runcmd                       = "%Install%" "%Language%"
Checked                      = no
changeable                   = yes
This container creates a temp-directory, start the exe and after finishing the exe, the installer will earse the temp-directory.

btw:

About the spaces in the do-copy-field:

original this was planed:

Code: Select all

Container1 Name
files
files
files

Container2 Name
files
files
files

Create Program-Group
links
links
 
Create Desktop-Links
links
links

Create QuickLaunch-Links
links
links
Because of a bug, all "Create xyz links" wasn't displayed and the container-names always shown in the english language...

I add a cancel button to the "file already exist"-window.

In the normal window, i think, the user can go "back" and then cancel.

And i activate the cancel-button during file-copy...

Hi GPI

Post by DominiqueB »

Hello,
i've got a pb with JAPBE last release:
quite each time i launch the editor, i've got an error preparing the compiler. I've to click on run again the compiler from the menu to finaly have it ok ! Some time i've to do that one or more times to get it ok.
All under w98se, i don't have the problem with XP pro.

Any idea ?

Thank's
Dominique.

Where exact stop the compiler? What error-message do you get? Which PB-Version do you use?

Hi,

Is there a way to globally make commands force indent/unindents, or prevent them from forcing indents. For example, force indent on PanelGadget, force unindent on CloseGadgetList, to get following effect:

Code: Select all

hPan=PanelGadget(#PB_Any,0,20,400,280) 
    AddGadgetItem (hPan,-1,"BROWSE")
    hTAUT=EditorGadget(#PB_Any,1,1,398,276)
CloseGadgetList()
Not a big thing, but nice if possible.

Also, where do I find the jaPBe manual (English)? Somewhere obvious, I'm sure :?

Many thanks.

The problem is, that the line of the "End"-Procedure must not be after the line of the "Start"-Procedure.
Example:

Code: Select all

Procedure ende()
  closegadgetlist()
endprocedure
hPan=PanelGadget(#PB_Any,0,20,400,280) 
    AddGadgetItem (hPan,-1,"BROWSE")
    hTAUT=EditorGadget(#PB_Any,1,1,398,276)
ende()
You can aktivate/deaktivate the auto-indent with F9 very fast.

At the moment not.

Thank's.
