Paul, based on your response to my earlier post and someone else's suggestion, I've taken a close look at the behaviour of IR's dialogs. The SPB and Keymove dialogs are different. First re the "border problem", the blue border disappears from the Keymove dialog when it is resized at the time the vertical scrollbar appears. Once it's gone, at border never reappears (until IRbeta is restarted). Presumably, the lack of a blue border on the SPB dialog is a consequence of it being "born" with a vertical scrollbar.
I really don't see this...must be an XP thing
Most (but not all) the other IR windows/dialogs use a resizing mechanism whereby the depth of their entry/display windows is changed while the critical buttons are maintained in view. Since the whole SPB dialog can now be contained on the screen, thanks to you reconfiguring some of its elements, adopting the approach of the other dialogs (in a furure release) seems at least worth exploring. For the time being, now that its possible, it would seem helpful if the whole SPB dialog was displayed on opening.
Actually the only form that was resizable was the main IR form. At the request of some folks I made the keymove and SP form resizable.
Re my earlier button focus comment, I now see that the current operation is consistent with the rest of IR. As for my "not ideal" comment re the 3 shift keys, the current operation is adequate. I was reacting to keys being enabled when they had no function - a topic that may already have been discussed.
The keys are not enabled unless the function in question is Shiftable
I changed the Dev flag like Dabbith suggested..however that flag had been set when I downloaded the source code.
I also added a bunch of code to check for valid stuff like a protocol being available in the users config, checking the parameters in the function box to make sure the are properly formated, etc, etc...
Added scroll bar to the notes field as well.
Check out the 3:30PM build I just uploaded.
