I have already compiled it, there is a version of it floating around inside libQtHelp.so. I had to comment out a few conversion routines, so everything is not guaranteed to work, but it is enough to do searching in the qt assistant.

You should do your own port, though, that way you can catch the few blips, that I just lazily overlooked. It shouldn't be hard .

@ssolie

Sorry, I was looking in the window class only.

New version uploaded (see original post).

This one is by far the hardest one I've done yet, especially because of the msr register bug that I came across. Arghh!

@kas1e
I think I have fixed most if not all of the bugs, that you have come across. If not, please let me know. And once again I really appreciate your hard work. And really, you don't _have_ to download and test _every_ single upload that I do (there are going to be plenty more I can assure you), but it actually really helps a lot. (BIGSMILEY )

In my version of the autodocs, this attribute doesn't have a description. Besides, it's a fairly odd name for such a feature, don't you think ?

@alfkil

In the meantime I have run into a catastrophical problem (one more besides the elf.library thing...):

Setting the msr |= MSR_TRACE_ENABLE (0x400) from the exception context doesn't work . This means, that I'm not going be able to do proper handling of loops etc before that is fixed. This is probably the very same problem that keeps GDB from being remotely functional.

Just to explain: Setting this processor flag should make the processor yield an exception after executing exactly one instruction. Of course I can easily install a TRAP instruction on the next coming instruction, but this doesn't take into account, that the processor might do a branch during that very same cycle. Doing a trace would automatically leave the ip at the branched address, but to be able to do that with a patch would be breaking an arm and a leg. Doh!

Help needed.

What I meant to say I guess was, that I'm using the reaction default font. Which seems to not necessarily be the same as the system default. Now I know the difference, thank you .

@nbache

The reason I wanted this feature is, that I'm using lots of different windows in db101 and some of them, when open, allows for features, that needs other windows features to be disabled. I could manually turn off the gadgets in those other windows, but it would be so much easier to just block the entire window (or it's content, rather), and then have it's state automatically restored when the "dangerous" window is done and the old window is un-disabled.

But I guess I'm just going to have to handle it the old way.

Fresh version of db101 uploaded. See original post.

@salass00

EDIT: Problem solved, needed "courier.font" instead...

For now, I'm just using system default, which seems to be NOT non-proportional.

I've tried this:

but it doesn't work. Could someone provide a simple tangible example of how to successfully load the courier font??

@Rigo & nbache

Yeah of course, a busy pointer would work. I never thought about the fact, that there is no such thing as a disabled window in any os, it never crossed my mind. But you are right, it would be confusing to the user.

@kas1e

Hehe, it turned out, that there was a big fat ugly bug in my breakpoint window, and I'm pretty amazed that I could go on for so long without knowing.

You should try a new download and see, if things are better now. Remember, if you want to debug anything else than "helloworld" you should use gcc -gstabs.

Stupid question again: Is there
a way to disable an entire window
the same way as with a gadget?
Like WA_Disabled, TRUE? (I know
this doesn't work).

@kas1e

Yeah, you are right, that's a good idea. I'll see what I can do, but as you know, this is my very first reaction app, and I'm a little weary about things still.

It is very strange, that the quickfix version gives you lockups. Here on my sam everything works just fine. Are you using a pegasos or amigaone? Are you using the latest upload from my dropbox?

@kas1e

Ok great, that's the kind of information I need 8-D.

I think the explanation is this: There was a quickfix uploaded btw the plain v4.1 and Update 1, and I think I'm using the elf.library from that version. Currently this seems to be the only working version apart from the latest (unreleased) version.

I guess we just have to be patient and wait for a new quickfix...

Thanks kas1e for taking the trouble, I really appreciate it

@alfkil

Hehe, coding is like playing Myst: You have to look in the woods for the right code that opens the Vault etc...

I have uploaded a fresh version of db101 with just a few small additions. There are still many things on my list to do (like an arexx port and stack traces), but at this point I feel I need some feedback and a little motivation to go on. Is it possible, that someone could get out their old original OS 4.1 installation CD-ROM and fetch the elf.library.kmod from there so they can test my software? I know it's bothersome, but it would really help me quite a lot with some constructive user-insight.

Hope you enjoy!

@all

I'm sad to see a properly constructive thread turn hostile this way. In danger of being attacked myself, I'll state this: I sense a vague bit of desparation in the community, and yes, we are a bit "behind" other platforms in terms of, say "plugins for our favorite webbrowser", but why is this just not the more reason to stay collaborative and constructive in our efforts??

This might just be some peoples destinct personal style in arguing for their deeply felt views, but I must say, it makes me stress out and even sometimes loose confidence in this crazy project. But hey, I'm a weak person, maybe I should just stick to yoga instead...

@kas1e

Yes, I need to redesign the user-interface once I've added all the features.

@afxgroup & TSK

Brilliant, thanks

Now, say I want to retrieve the string from a REQTYPE_STRING requester, how do I do that??

EDIT: Ok, it turns out I just have to use REQS_Buffer. Got it.

@alfkil

New version of db101 has been uploaded. See original post.

Does anyone have a small, tangible example of how to use the reaction requester class ??
