List Management program
« Thread started on: Feb 10th, 2015, 4:25pm » |

My latest creation is a List Management program. I thought it might be a good project for my tutorial, but of course I got carried away and now it's a bit too complicated for that. Send me an e-mail if you'd like to take a look at it and have some fun with it. I'll send you the "boosted " source code -- 477 lines. After all, who doesn't like lists?

Can you post your source code on a file-sharing site?

Has anyone tried my LIST-IT program? Any feedback? Suggestions, comments, criticism, etc. I've continued to fiddle with the code since the original posting. Download the latest version if any glitches bother you. There' s a lot of ways the user can trip up the code. Not so many as in a BASIC compiler though, I'm sure! Feel free to modify and use it as you so desire.

I tried your List-it program.
Unless I missed these, I saw no way to sort a list, no way to print it, no way to look up, recall and maintain it, and no dating capabilities.

Wait. I saved and recalled some lists.
I see "sort" in your code, but how do I access it?
Perhaps my screen size or resolution does not let me see the entire window?

It's the same here. My display is natively 1920 x 1080 but because the DPI is greater than 120 (actually 144) Windows does automatic scaling and the screen behaves as if it was 1280 x 720. Jack's Sort button is at y=660 so it's not visible, or at least not clickable.
If I disable the scaling it doesn't help because Jack is using a DIALOG window, which automatically scales according to the DPI and ends up just as big as it was before!
A case of assuming everybody else has a screen at least as big as his I fear.
Richard.

I have standard DPI so I had no problem with interface / looking at buttons.
But I was able to input a list - double click list name to "START A NEW LIST" line - got a message "tO SAVE LIST YOU NEED TO ENTER UNIQUE title" - pressed Cancel - oops my list is gone.
Tried it three times just to make sure 
So. Apparently it works.
If there will be tutorial showing how to do this and that, that would be interesting.
Just as now - well, it's a program to manage lists.

Thanks for your feedback, guys. I'll see what I can do about the window size and a help window. I always have much to learn, but that's most of the fun of it.
Below is a link to the ZIP file which contains a help screen.
