John, to my information, ther really is only one limitation built into the pointer environment (and no additional one in EasyPtr), which is the ability to selectively re-draw information sub-windows. As this call takes a 32-bit bit field as argument, you can only selectively re-draw the first 32 information sub-windows per window definition (WM.IDRW would be the relevant call). Other than that one (which you are not very likely to hit and if hit, wouldn't be a severe limitation), I'm not aware of any other limits.
Tobias -----Original-Nachricht----- Betreff: [Ql-Users] EasyPointer 4 query. Datum: Tue, 08 Jul 2014 17:11:45 +0200 Von: John Gilpin <[email protected]> An: ql-users <[email protected]> Having recently returned to the QL and more specifically, to SuperBASIC programming with EasyPointer 4, I am trying to avoid doing a lot of time consuming work to no avail. I understand that there is a limit to the number of objects (loose items, application windows, etc.) that can be drawn onto one menu. I am convinced that I have read about this recently either in the EasyPointer 4 Manual or in Norman Dunbar's splendid tutorial articles in QUANTA Magazine in May, June and July 1994, but having re-read these repeatedly, I still cannot find the reference I am looking for. Can anyone out there help me not only with this information but also where it can be found. (Something like this, I like to highlight in the publication (manual etc) so that if I need it again, it stands out, thus avoiding having to re-read with great concentration, to find it.) Thanks in advance, Kind Regards, John Gilpin.
