EZGUI 5 support forum / Re: Unselect in Listview

« on: September 21, 2021, 08:33:16 pm »

There are different approaches I can think of.
The easiest would be to simply use a Global variable and store the last selected item index. The user need not click the same item again to move the data.

Add a button which which is used for the event to Move the data.

If you want to move the data by clicking on the listview use the double click event instead.

Another trick would be to subclass the control and process the %EZ_LButtonDown message and calculate which item it is clicked on.

While I don't know if I can get back the old forum data in full, what I will try to do is rebuild the important stuff of the forum (aka. solutuions when using EZGUI).

Registration and Rules / Registration to post on forums

« on: September 08, 2021, 10:54:14 am »

Registration for these forums is tightly controlled. Because most online forums are regularly attacked by forum spamming, only the admin can register you on these forums.

If you would like to be registered for these forums simply email your request to:

chrisboss@centurylink.net

or

support@cwsof.com

Registration requires "real" names rather than pseudo names.

I am sorry about the problems with the old forum. It will take me awhile to see if I can get the data back and imported into this new forum.

The old forum used a very outdated version of PHP (5.5 or less) and all new software used PHP 7.x now. My website now is using PHP 7.4. I had to make changes, but the upgrade process of the old database had an error and trashed the forum. Fortunately I have a backup of the database, but to use it I still have to reinstall the old forum software temporarily, restore the database and then do an upgrade of the forum to get the database so it will work with the latest Simple Machines Forum software.  It is not easy and can't guarantee it will work, but I will try.

I do plan on a total rework of my website during this process to prepare it for the future direction I want to go with it.

I have a number of different areas I am doing R&D on which I want to pursue on the website.

I have been doing a lot of research into different Basic's for Windows and also embedded microcontrollers. I some ideas for the future of EZGUI as well. Have to change with the times.

Customers are still using EZGUI (along with Powerbasic) successfully and I am even designing apps with them myself for some clients.

For now, if you have any questions you need answered about using EZGUI feel free to email me at:

chrisboss@centurylink.net

or

support@cwsof.com

There is also a lot of useful info on the old archived EZGUI forums (CGI based forum) which are "read only" but worth checking out.

Welcome to the Computer Workshop's new online forums.

The previous forum software was way outdated and had big problems in trying to update it. Sadly I had to start from scratch for create this new SMF 2.0 forum which is the latest version.

I do have a backup of the old forum database, but still can't figure out how to import it into the new one.  SMF didn't make it easy to upgrade from the 1.x forums to 2.x.

I really like their forum software, but they did a bad job of making the upgrade path easy.

I still may be able to get the old data back.
