Hello all,
In a pickle again ! I am working within the applications builder for an application and have managed to cause an error.
I was getting very strange behaviousr with the menu builder where certain menu items were appearing inactive. After trying a variety of things without success I thought i would delete some of the default menu items generated by the application builder to see what would happen.
Now i have upset (the oh so delicate) application object.
I now have an error every time i run my app. It goes like this :
"Subscript is outside defined range" 1234 ,309 c:\appname\appname_app.fxp
I have spoiled the app object (is that the correct term) so many times before and had to start my application from new. I am soooo frustrated with all of this.
My questions are :
1) How can i rebuild the menu, or get the application to regenerate a standard one or do anything to get me out of this fix. I am more than happy to start with a standard menu and redo the particular menu items i need for my app if necessary to get the thing working again.
2) I am beginning to realise that using the application builder is really a mistake as it creates a fragile structure and programmes that are far too complex for me to understand. Does anybody know - Is there a resource anywhere which tells you how to set up a simple application framework with a main.prg that calls a menu system and that is it. From there i can start writing code rather than fighting the interface day in day out.
3) By the way, anybody know how to start an application maximised. I have tried a) ticking 'start maximised' in the windows icon to the exe (doesn't work) b) Window State = 2 on the properties of _screen (doesn't work) c) "zoom window screen max" in the main prg (doesn't work), and d) "_screen.windowstate = 2" in the main prg (doesn't work)
Thanks to all who can put me out of my increasing misery.
All the best,
Magnus
