icons and add tooltypes. While testing this program I came up with some strange results when I editted the WINDOW= Tooltype of NotePad icons. For some reason NotePad was finicky parsing the string and would only open the specified window size if I had spaces between the first two parameters. WINDOW= 10, 10, 400,150 (would work) WINDOW= 10,10,400,150 (would not work, opens with default window size) From: trantow@csd4.milw.wisc.edu (Jerry J Trantow) Path: csd4.milw.wisc.edu!trantow My question is: Does Notepad have some strange spacing requirements in parsing the WINDOW= Tool? Am I free to edit the Tool strings or do I need to do an ADD and DELETE Tooltype? One last question. When I do a PutDisk() my updated values go onto the disk. How do I tell WorkBench to update the icons in the window? (right now I open and close the window to get the new settings) Ok, Ok, this article probably belongs in .tech _____________________________________________________________________________ Jerry J.

Nothing strange. It just wants is EXACTLY as your second example. This is documented in the 1.2 Enhancer Software manual. In fact according to the docs there should be no space between the = and the first digit. This is the syntax: WINDOW=<num>,<num>,<num>,<num> <num> is a 3-digit number; No spaces are allowed. |>Am I free to edit the Tool strings or do I need to do an ADD and DELETE |>Tooltype? Feel free to edit the Tool strings, as long as you respect the proper syntax. The FONT= and FLAGS= have their specific syntax, too. |>One last question.

You must make WB read them again from disk. Opening a closing a WB window will do the job. -- Marco Papa 'Doc' -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= uucp:...!pollux!papa BIX:papa ARPAnet:pollux!papa@oberon.usc.edu "There's Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Diga!" -- Leo Schwab [quoting Rick Unland] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
