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.
