Hi all, here are my observations to date.
Missing Features 1 ?
Is there any facility to freeze the scroll bars, so that on PC shutdown,and
restart, the map is in the same place, as was last left.
If not, would other user like it, and could Roger provide it ?
I can do that.
Missing Features 2 ?
I have seen the request for zoom and have read Rogers reply, perhaps instead of
zoom to remove the clutter of houses which have similar lat/long details,
perhaps could there be the following :-
A Right click command which may say "put to back" or "keep on top", like
powerpoint and other drawing packages do ? or have the option of a one large
house (Town house/flats Hi) with a list of calls attached to the same house ? I
assume that there would have to be a user menu which would say "If the stations
are with the area of xx size then show only one house".
I'll have to think about that...
Finally wonder if anyone has noticed these effect ?
Observation report 1......
When viewing a map, or looking at the station list, if an incomming mesage
arrives, rather than jump to the message screen, it puts up a blue error
message
box, which contains the incomming message. There is an error number shown, but
next time I will write it down (Sorry Roger) this has only happened twice
during
many hours of operation.
Other useful information would be:-
1. Is "Bring To Foreground" checked? Presumably it is?
2. Is it a Windows "blue screen of death" or a small message box?
3. What type of video card are you using?
I don't get the problem, and I've tested it on four PCs with a mix of
Win95, Win98 and WfW. Also several different video cards. Unless other
people are getting the same problem, I would suspect the video card
driver. Some of the ones distributed with Win98 were crap! (I'm on the
second update for my Millennium II since the driver that was included on
the Win98 CD, and I can still find bugs in it.) However, that might
become clearer once the contents of the message are known.
Observation report 2......
I notice in 071b that the setting for colours,borders, and backround do not
seem
right, the border colour seem to be the background ?
I think V0.71b made the border colours work correctly, but there was
still a problem with the background colour. :-(
