Hi,
Some VX questions:
1. I loaded a prg file in VX without a project. How can I spell check it?
2. I did experiments with VX toolbar, I removed all buttons with idea to
remove the empty big one and after that was not able to add any button.
Uninstall did not help. Regedit helped . Will we able to have one row
toolbar?
3. In the editor do we have or will we have hotkeys to go to next compiler
error, mark different type of blocks (like in ME) and, say, more editor
customization.
4. I tried to debug a WAA application. VX only asked me about the host
application, but did nothing.

Best regards,
Vladimir

If the prg is part of the project: Menu Run->Syntaxcheck. There is no
way for just calling the Compiler syntaxchecking the active File.
I put it to the wishlist.

No. Allthough the look my change for final release. After having
enabled the Komponent stuff again, we'll see what is usefull to
customize here.

There are shortcuts to change between the window and to navigate in
Windows. After come compiler error occured, Editwindow has focus at
first error occured. You can change to Message window with (Alt+0) and
back to EditWindow with (Alt+3).
 From Messagewindow having focus you can navigate the editor to the
offending line with (Ctrl+v). This will Show the error in the editor and 
Messages window still has focus.

Shure it did. Make shure you have set proper environment variable
(see startwaa.bat) from this environment start vx20.exe and load
project with waapackage.
Make shure that the WAAPackage is the active target
by double clicking the target node within the Project Manager (Alt+1).
In HostApplication enter full path to server.exe.

My favorite way from commandline: startwaa.bat vx20 as usual with 
xppdbg. Vx then creates a default project  that you can see as a
dummy within which such stuff like open file, break and watchpoints
are stored.

Andreas,
I'm not using message window for xBase compilation in ME. ME does all for me
. I have just go to next/previous error with one keypress and fix the
error. In VX I see at least 3 - Alt-0, Ctrl-V, Alt-3, and what if you have
100 warnings?

Now my favourite way (in ME), I have a window with inno script (inno help
and inno compiler attached to ME), a window with php (php compiler and php
help attached), dummy html file, as ME has html help, a couple of prg files
with, of course, compiler and help attached and a favourite bat file, which
runs pbuild and calls or debugger or starts waa1server. Of course, this is
not usual case, but it works, and ,honestly, a good debugger I'm missing of
)

Best regards,
Vladimir

You have forgotton Cursor up and down for navigating to the message
required.

OK. We have got it.
Shortcut next/prev message.
This will navigate to the next/prev offending line from cursor position.
