Some questions

[Giuseppe Bogetti]

Hi,
some problems with I was not able to bypass.
1) As you see in the attached image I defined a status bar with four
panels. When I select the main menu of application and move through
the items the first panel is expanded to occupy entire width of window.
Is it standard behaviour ? Can it be changed ?
2) I'm trying to use the zip library but when I open project settings and
select the library the button to add a new library is disabled.
Is there a workaround for this ? Something I can change in project file?
3) The attached project is a small utility to backup files or folders. In
the main window there's an array browser with three columns. Now when in
the IDE I click on the second column the third is automatically selected
If i click on third column IDE exit without warnings or errors.
Also when I open project in IDE file TBackup.prg is immediatly marked as
modified (caption red)
BTW I would like to say that Xailer is a really fast IDE and productive
environment. Keep up the excellent work !!!

Yes, it's the standard windows behaviour. When the main menu is opened, the
entire status bar is cleared, and a message (one for each menu item) is
shown on it.
You can see it in other programs, i.e. Outlook Express or Internet Explorer.
BTW, you can use the clause MESSAGE in the MENUITEM command to define the
message that will be shown. I.e:
MENUITEM "Test" MESSAGE "This is a test" ACTION ...

That option is not finished yet, but you can add the lib using the option
"Progetto" -> "Aggiungi file al progetto.." like any other file.

I've just tested it and I can click all three columns without any problem.
It's possible it has been fixed recently.
Please, download http://www.xailer.com/files/xailerprerelease2.exe and try
again. This is not an official "Pre-release 2"; it's just a build that we've
used in the recent course at Madrid. We'll publish the true "Pre-release 2"
ASAP.
> Also when I open project in IDE file TBackup.prg is immediatly marked as

Yes, there is a bug caused by the rebar control. It's not finished yet, and
cause this undesired effect in the IDE.

It seems that the window is unable/not allowed to process the messages
needed to update the screen because if I iconize the window and than
restore it the screen is not painted until end of zipping.
Is there a method/function to force event processing by the application
during my progress method ?

You should call to ProcessMessages() periodically.

How can I select element 4 of array in column 1 of ArrayBrowser ?
How can I display images instead of real values in a column (after having

Do I have to use OnGetData event ? How ?
