Here is a free program that allows you to make quick demos of your software and/or problems you may be having. It captures your screens, keystrokes, mouse movement and voice and exports it to a Flash (.SWF) file which can then be attached to a message or posted as a URL.

This is so simple and easy to use that I have decided to start making regular "how-to" tutorials on features of eXpress++ that often seem to go unnoticed, yet are very valuable.

My first tutorial was a quick description of how to use the design feature of eXpress+ to help with designing complicated screens.

If you are having difficultly explaining a problem, then it could help to actually show the problem and describe it. If you want to contribute to our community by showing off your work and your ideas, please do so. It will be appreciated by everyone.

I will be making tutorials mostly based on popular request, so don't be afraid to ask or suggest.

Thank you Roger, its a nice tool.

Came across this and wanted to try it. So I inserted the dc_ReadGuiHandler({|a,b,c,d,e,f|dc_DesignHAndler(a,b,c,d,e,f)})
line near the top of the main procedure and changed getoptions to:

DCGETOPTIONS NORESIZE NOMAXBUTTON sayfont '10.arial';
sourcefile__Filepath__


Compiler yelled at me (syntax error) on the sourcefile line... any idea why? (using 335 and build 254)

thanks

It looks like you have no space between sourcefile and __filepath__

That was that problem... now it says unresolved external. So I assume that I'm missing an include item. Which .ch file do I need for this?

What is the name of the unresolved external?

[Error] : ALK2102: unresolved external symbol DC_DESIGNHANDLER

I'm sorry... I thought that would be obvious - my mistake.

Add this to the top of the source file:

pragma Library("dcdesign.lib")

getting close...

it compiles, but I get unknown variable __Filepath__ line 179
(I have 2 underscores in front and 2 behind, as per your video.)

DCGETOPTIONS NORESIZE NOMAXBUTTON sayfont '10.arial' ;
sourcefile __Filepath__

(lines 178 & 179)
