How to use TagItem in TDR_EasyStruct (TimedDosRequesterTags() function)?

Submitted by jabirulo on

Hi, just tried to use TimedDosRequesterTags() and change its 'EasyStruct' using TDR_EasyStruct, as I want the requeter to opne centered on a ReAction GUI window I'm developing.
Seems I'm (as usual) missing something, 'cos it always pops up centered on screen.
Are the TagItem I set ok?
BTW pwindow is a 'struct Window' defined globally on source.

How to detect when the system language is changed?

Submitted by jap on

Hello,

Is there a way to detect when the user changes the system language? When you change the system language in Locale Preferences, Workbench's language changes as well. I would like to do the same in my application, i.e. to change my application's language when the system language is changed.

Compatible Amiga Programming (a great beginners guide)

Submitted by ChrisH on

I don't know if anyone's mention this before, but I happened to run into the fantastic-looking Compatible Amiga Programming guide:
http://guidetoamigacompatibleprogramming.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/english/

I hadn't heard of it before, so maybe it's new-ish, or maybe it's old & abandoned, I don't know. But from a cursory glance it looks like a great introduction to programming Amiga-like computers.

ARexx or PIPE: ?

Submitted by mritter0 on

My project consists of 2 parts: the main program and an external preferences editor.

When the prefs editor is opened, it has to send a signal to 1 or multiple running copies of the main program to block the window input. (busy the mouse)

When the prefs editors is closed, it has to signal the main program to reload the prefs. (I also have some other things planned for it, but this is what I will build around.)

If the prefs were not changed (cancel button) then signal all the main programs to unblock the window and continue on.

AmiDock auto-activate/enable docky when mouse over dock_bar

Submitted by jabirulo on

Hi, is there some function (I didn't see it) in AmiDock that when pointer is over a dock_bar the docky I have under mouse pointer gets enabled/activated?

What happens now, docky its activated when clicking with LBM over it, but if I'm over it (didnt' click LMB in docky/dock_bar) an press RMB to display its conext menu it doesn't work (first I must click on docky/image/icon).

The is 'DOCKYSET_MouseIsOverDocky', but it doesn't enable/activate the docky, still has to LBM and then I can use RMB.

TIA

Listing keymaps (local/english names,...)

Submitted by jabirulo on

Hi just build a little tool (to add such functionality to KeymapSwitcher.docky) that list KEYMAPS: files and outputs: filename / english name / local name / charset

With some local names that as you can see below uses a different charset and thus show its local name odd (ex Bulgarian -> ±êÛÓÐàáÚØ)

How to make it readable (alas shown in Locale/Input prefs)?

TIA
