[Dx4win] Canvas does not allow drawing
Wow! And all I was trying to do was print QSL's. Tomorrow, I'll put my logs back in the 6.02 folder and run .02 and see if I can print. Thanks anyway, Don W6FFH - Original Message - From: ARS NZ3O (Byron) FM29fx [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 7:50 PM Subject: [Dx4win] Canvas does not allow drawing Msg 'Canvas does not allow drawing' Q: What does the error message 'Canvas does not allow drawing' mean? A: you may have run out of resources, which means a new DC cannot be allocated. Usually this is a result of not freeing unused DCs or other objects you are attempting to draw to an device context that is not yet valid. Such as in the create constructor of a component. you are trying to draw on a canvas while your last draw-operation has not finished yet. In this case you can use Canvas.Lock or Canvas.TryLock to fix it. ___ Dx4win mailing list Dx4win@mailman.qth.net http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win
[Dx4win] 6.03 and Custom Award - TenTen
Carl, I found this problem while in Dayton. with the following solution: 1. Clode dx4win 2. Use a text editor to edit dx4win.awd 3. In the bands for TenTen, put a single N in front of the Y 4. Save (in ASCII) 5. Start dx4win again The enabled bands had to shift by one due to the inclusion of the 60M band. There are more errors of this kind in the award file, but this solves the TenTen award.

When I select the menu items Reports and then Ten Ten under Custom, I get no results. The Award field for these QSOs says TenTen in the Logbook. Both the Awdstrng and Awdvalue fields display the TenTen number. Does anyone have any hints on how I can get the Reports Custom TenTen to display the TenTen numbers?

[Dx4win] Ver 6.02 user guides at a Discount
Hello All, Version 6.03 of the program AND users guide have been released and I find that I have 4 copies of the version 6.02 users guides left. The MAJOR difference is they don't include anything about electronic QSL submissions (LotW.) I am offering them for $9.00 each, shipped (US only.) This would normally be $18.95, so this is less than half. First come; first served. 73 de Steve, NR4M - -Steve Bookout, NR4M (ex NJ4F) Rapidan Data Systems 'DX4WIN...The way logging programs should be!' Free demo at http://www.dx4win.com
[Dx4win] 6.03 woes
Thanks Paul, The two items you mention were ok, and yes, I have Win 98. The good news is everything works now! I switched over to another printer (a Cannon BJC 5100, also an old parallel printer), and labels printed fine. Went back to the HP DeskJet 500 and now it works also. I have no idea why, I had re-started many times. I wish I had tried the other printer before I started this thread! Oh well, I gained a lot, thanks to Terry, WK0F for the suggestion of cleaning out my Temp files, I had never done that and got rid of over 300 Mb of junk. It didn't help the original problem, but it sure can't hurt.

Check if the formatting of the QSL label makes sense. 2. Reboot the computer and only start dx4win (you may be running out of resources running Windows98 by chance?)

[Dx4win] Installing 6.03
I am still running Version 5.03 and am going to install 6.03 and was wondering what precautions I should take before doing so. Appreciate all replies. Thanks and 73's john-n3drk
[Dx4win] Installation Tips
Jim (AD1C) has good tips for installation on his website: http://www.ad1c.com/dx4win Jim also did a fine job on updating the country file which is included with the new 6.03 version of DX4WIN. It is so good that I would NOT merge your old country file as that will only make it worse, not better. He has also updated the QSL manager file, so that it is NOT necessary to merge the old QSL managers.
[Dx4win] Using QRZ CD rom data from hard drive
Can anybody give me a pointer on how you use the QRZ CD ROM data when it is installed on the hard drive? The QRZ program functions ok on the hard drive. My F3 lookup doesn't seem to work with it pointing to the 'data' directory on the hard drive. It only works with the CD rom installed. I have QRZ CDRom as the data source and the path pointing to: C:\Program Files\QRZ Ham Radio\CALLBK\ Where the data is located.
