I'm also one of those users that is very interested in any way to
improve the "Official" documentation in an "In House" manner. As
much as RS has been improving its OLR, there is still a lot to be
desired. The new format lends itself well to rapid and continuing
changes as opposed to the old format.
How's that? RS still has to update their master documentation and
then stick it in HTML to ship with the next version. The only
difference is it's in HTML rather than a custom binary format with
a (horrible) custom viewer.
The first versions were. The latest has changed things around to some
confusion and introduced new syntax errors. The old (and PDF) way was
confusing enough. Now it's ridiculous.
Here's a comparison of the Canvas.AcceptTags Property in the OLR
version for 2006r2, PDF version for r3 and OLR version for r3 is as
follows:
----------
2006r2 OLR
----------
Canvas.AcceptTabs Property
Syntax
AcceptTabs as Boolean
If True and AcceptFocus is True, then pressing Tab triggers the
KeyDown event for processing. If False, pressing the Tab key does not
trigger the KeyDown event; pressing Tab triggers the LostFocus Event
and selects the next object in the window that can accept the focus.
----------------------------------------
PDF version for r3 (In 3 columns) under Properties
----------------------------------------
(Name)
AcceptTabs
(Type)
Boolean
(Description)
If True and AcceptFocus is True, then pressing Tab
triggers the KeyDown event for processing. If False,
pressing the Tab key does not trigger the KeyDown
event; pressing Tab triggers the LostFocus Event and
selects the next object in the window that can accept the
focus.
---------------
OLR version for r3
---------------
Canvas.AcceptTabs
If True and AcceptFocus is True, then pressing Tab triggers the
KeyDown event for processing. If False, pressing the Tab key does not
trigger the KeyDown event; pressing Tab triggers the LostFocus Event
and selects the next object in the window that can accept the focus.
Syntax
AcceptTabs( Boolean ) as <---- Huh?
Parameters
Boolean
-------------
To me, the correct syntax should be:
Canvas.AcceptTabs = True // or False or (Boolean Value)
Not:
AcceptTabs( Boolean ) as
There is a multitude of these in r3'S OLR.
3) There have been several attempts at providing a user based
Wikki or example reference but they have usually failed through
both lack of official support from RS or the users themselves.
Which could be corrected but that'd take some cooperation from RS.
There is an ideal solution for all of this that's up in my skull,
but there's no point in sharing it unless RS wants to do anything
in the first place.
Thats what I mean. Do the substandard docs really have to persist?
