use of ME in behaviors

I'm trying to understand behaviors so as to be more adept at using them. I've examined the scripts of the datagrid library, which give much cause for wonderment. the private command_initialize we see references like: set the borderwidth of scrollbar "dgHScrollbar" of group "dgHorizontalCom

Mark, If you actually took the time and checked it out, you would know what Graham is talking about IS ALREADY COMPILED. I know you think you are being helpful, but your two sentence responses to everyone's problems aren't always the best. For instance, a couple weeks ago when your curt replies di

Hi Graham, Try downloading a binary instead of compiling it yourself. Schools should not behave like they're the European Central Bank but should just install the software teachers and pupils need. -- Best regards, Mark Schonewille Economy-x-Talk Consulting and Software Engineering Homepage:

Mark, thanks for your message. I don't think you're going to believe the depth of my ignorance on this - anything derived from a *nix environment gets me out of my comfort zone pretty quickly. Anyway, out of respect for you and in order to give the thing a fair trial, I made sure that all my e

In the Menu Builder, I have always set Quit for the Mac with the Mnemonic checked and set to Q alone with the Shortcut set to Command. I frequently use a Quit button in my apps which the user could quit an app. I just noticed a few days ago that this keyboard combination of Command + Q works

You're either extremely knowledgeable about the GPL, or I think you have misunderstood the GPL. The GPL v2 does not mean you cannot charge for re-distribution of GPL code (there are companies who charge for the re-distribution of linux on dvds). If your code is bound to GPL libraries and you distr

Thanks Bernard. I will look into (1), although I have no idea of the resource implications, but for (2) I don't think my publisher would consider a solution involving the permanent involvement of an external server, plus the fact that I know nothing about Linux, plus the fact that the owner of t

Thanks Roger, that's really interesting. As I can't operate under a GNU license, I believe I would have to pay Artifex to use Ghostscript or MuPDF (which is probably good enough for my rather modest functional requirement). I have emailed Artifex about their licensing terms and I imagine they'll
