Tutorial 2 Sample

[John Messingham]

Hi,

When I try to compile the sample for 2 tutorial I get an 'Error Creating Res(file)' message. Is this a known problem or just me.

Many Thanks

I seem to be getting an error as well. Something must have broke along the way since that tutorial was written a long time ago. I will fix it for the next update.

Thanks Paul,

With all the help I get from this forum and yourself, I would hate someone to see it as a bad mark against  FF.

I get a the same message. I've tried copying the code from the doc file and there is a problem in the frmMain-WM_size function.
It seems at least some of the formatting is corrupted.

I got the second tutorial to compile and run (it doe'nt show a webpage!)
by adding the missing parenthesis in the ff functions. This line however, just won't work, I don't know why, but if I comment it out the program will compile and run.

'Get the height of the StatusBar    
   FF_Control_GetClient(HWND_FRMMAIN_STATUSBAR, 0, StatusBarHeight)

I can't get the first tutorial from ver 1.10 to compile either.    FF_TwipsToPixels, error 516

I tried building the Logon program from scratch and got another error...
Error 530, invalid member name for:  App.ReturnValue = ReturnValue

When I run from Logon.jfp, the errors are pointed to in the appropriate module, but a second copy of the module is loaded which seems unnecessary to me.

I'm just now getting back to Firefly.  I haven't had the courage to create new projects with it yet, still resorting to DDT, but now I have a little time to devote to Firefly again.  I'm running Firefly ver 1.10 and PBwin 8.0 with a screen resolution of 1024x768.

Yes, sorry. Those Tutorials are broken due to late changes that were made to the designer in 1.10.

Charles, I sent you a private message regarding this.
