No I think you misunderstand and to be honest I think you have misuderstood this all along.

The link www.nxsoftware.com/zyxNexus.zip is INVALID and always has been. It is not a valid link and I included it by mistake in the Nexus licence agreement! It is this licence agreement which needed downloading again (because I corrected the links which it contains) NOT www.nxsoftware.com/zyxNexus.zip !!!

All I need to know is if the link www.purecoder.net/NexusLicence.txt
leads to a text file or 'The page cannot be found!'. It should be the latter.

nxPropertyBox controls.

A couple of bugs fixed in both the Purebasic 4.2 and 4.3 versions.

The version for Purebasic 4.3 (32-bit) has been updated with the addition of a new type of item, namely : #nxPropertyBox_CustomTextDialog.

These items display a selector button and when clicked a notification is sent to the developer's callback function. The intention is that the callback will then display a custom dialog for the user to enter text etc. and then for the callback to use nx_SetGadgetItemText() to change the underlying text in the property box control. Along with the notification is sent a RECT structure containing the bounds of the cell in question (in screen coordinates) so that a dialog can be positioned very precisely (if appropriate).

The nxPropertyBox demo shows how to use these new kinds of items.

I have not updated the version for Purebasic 4.2 as I will no longer be supporting this version when PB 4.3 final is released.

nxExplorerBar controls.

A major bug fixed in both the Purebasic 4.2 and 4.3 versions whereby a collapsed group would still register some menu-item clicks which had been hidden because of the collapse etc.

Do these controls work in Linux / Mac OS's?

Do they heckers like!

nxImageArray controls.

Updated the version of this control in the Purebasic 4.3 version (the version of Nexus for PB 4.2 is no longer supported).

Basically the internal paint handler has been completely rewritten and is now far far faster and smoother. This was done in order to refine the blended selection of items which is now far more refined and aesthetically pleasing.

On top of this, for those nxImageArray controls using a selection border for selected items (rather than a blended form of selection) you can now customise the selection rectangle which has been added to satisfy an application I am working on. It is very effective though!

If I may ask - how goes the nxreport library. THe website says beta should be available mid November (hope). Have you determined a price for this yet.
Thanks
Matthew

Version 1 (alpha version) of nxReport is finished and is with the testers at the moment. I have begun work on the online documentation, but considering the size and complexity of nxReport, this will take some time.

As for prices; well one price gets nxReport + the accompanying visual designer (when ready). I will probably make it commercially available very soon, certainly before the documentation is complete and the initial price will be discounted to reflect this and the fact that I haven't even started work on the visual report designer yet.

As for the licence... I am undecided and torn between a 'updates for life' kind of deal and one in which updates are only available for a year or so. I am considering the latter for two reasons; one, nxReport has taken a hell of a lot of work and two, planned updates will also take a hell of a lot of work. Visual designer aside, there is a full scripting engine planned to give nxReport a facility for adding 'code modules' to reports in much the same way that you can with MS Access etc. At present the expression engine is so encompasssing that you can actually 'simulate' basic macros without jumping to user-defined functions (which can be coded in PB). These 'macros' give a lot of flexibility, but are still not a replacement for full code modules. User defined functions can add a lot of power but these are of course external to the underlying reports which is another good reason for wanting code modules.

I honestly cannot make my mind up as to the licence terms (or the price) right now and will seek the advice of those testing nxReport as they all have far more experience than I with such things.

Perhaps even a compromise; two prices! One for full updates for life and another for 12 months access to updates (to begin after completion of the visual designer of course).

Whatever happens, will happen very soon now!

Thanks for the interest. I may post a demo exe sometime today for people to take a look at.
