I have suqcessfully adapted the help/hint example, as Per Witte described
it in QLToday v10i3, for Suqcess 2.04.
However there were some unexpected differences with MCALL.
1) The timing of the pan/scroll arrows & bars was affected. The rows in
the AW moved 2 or 3 lines with one click instead of one. This was solved
by Marcel (who else) with the latest version of ptrmenr_cde v4.10. So make
sure you use the latest version if you use scrollable AW items.
2) I also used: key=MCALL(#ch%,...): PVAL #ch%,erg%
and then I checked erg%(16) for the Wake key (CF2), for which there was no
Loose Item.
This doesn't work with MCALLT.
Marcel suggested the following:
ev% = 64
key = MCALLT(#ch, ev%, 50)
SELect ON key
= -1280: REMark Timeout or event
IF ev% = 64 THEN
[...] CTRL+F2
END IF
IF ev% = 0 THEN
[...] Timeout
END IF
END SELect
I gave Wake its own LI anyway.
Hopefully this is of some help.
