Joe Carrick - The Maniacc | VX Tools on Fri, 02 Jan 2004 16:10:17 -0800 Some hints for Configure Tools: Add: Title: Explore Program: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe Working dir: C:\ Parameters: &PRJDIR OK The above makes all of the Explorer capabilities immediately available from the VX Tools Menu. Add: Title: Xpp Error Log Program: XppError.log Working dir: &PRJDIR OK Add: Title: Xpp Fatal Log Program: XppFatal.log Working dir: &PRJDIR OK These 2 allow you to open the Error Logs with just a couple of mouse clicks without having to scroll to find the files. These are just a few of the things you can add to make other programs available directly from VX. If you create an App with a couple of input parameters that match the available macros, you can do a lot more. I'm not really happy with the VX Print facility - my code doesn't read nearly as nice in hard copy as it does on the screen. Consequently, I'm using my own Listing routine and I use the &PRJDIR macro to set the starting directory for my FileDialog. I'm also doing a little refinement to my DbEditBrowse App and will be adding that as a Tool. I hope that there will be a facility added that will allow aditional macros to be defined. -Joe |
