Hello Alyce,
I'm back.
The more I use Liberty Basic Workshop and need/use more of its features the more I appreciate what a great tool it is. I also discover more of its small quirks. I don't know if you know about these, but here they are.
1. Each time a program is saved LBW adds two spaces to the end of the last line. It sometimes also does this when returning from another window. This line can get quite long if you make a lot of changes.
2. The GUI editor adds a space to the end of the text in the *.ext box for a control's properties. I'm not sure under what condition, but it continues to add additional spaces to the end. I think it may do this after you change the size or location of the control in the editor. I haven't used every control, but it has done this on buttons, listboxes, and grahicboxes. Statictext and groupboxes seem unaffected.
3. LBW colorizes BASIC keyword function names (dim, len, etc.). It does this until you add the left parentheses, which I read is part of the name. When it is added, LBW changes the color of the function name back to black.
4. This one may not be a problem, but I would like to know how you did it so I can. The Gui Editor centers text in a multi-line button like example A) but it is left justified when I my program - example B). I used the stylebits wizard to create a stylebits to center the text - example C, but it still came out left justified.
A) Special B) Special
Plays Plays
C) StyleBits #NFL.btnSP, _BS_CENTER OR _BS_MULTILINE, 0, 0, 0
Button #NFL.btnSP, "Special Plays",[Special_Plays], UL, 305, 190, 80, 50
5. Last of all, LBW sometimes crashes with an unexpected error. This occurs after I have made some changes and have maybe run the program a couple of times. When I try to paste some code and accidentally hit some combination of control and C, V, Alt, Windows, space bar it crashes and I lose all changes I made after the last save.
I am using Windows XP with Service Pack 3, LBW version 4.9.4, and LB version 4.04.
I look forward to your assistance.
