Guys (Glenn in particular), I have checked in a revised version of the DLL code, with a rework of the GetVersion stuff. I don't know why the other one has been failing for some people, or why it caused the symptoms it did, but I've redone it, and wrapped it all in an exception handler (as suggested by Glenn). I would be interested to know whether this makes any difference. Cheers, Will |

i began looking at search.htm to add a link to the FAQ page. i noticed that there wasn't a </html> tag nor a </body> tag. should there be? if for no other reason to not confuse novice folks trying to do their own tweaks. or is/are there reason(s) they were left off? JB |

I don't think so - you should probably add them. It's quite entertaining to put search.htm through the W3C validator. (I manually told it that the file was 4.0 transitional). It's probably moot, because we're unlikely to need x-browser compatibility for this deskbar, but it might be a good thing to straighten things up a bit. What do people think about that? I'm happy to do it, and I'll even use spaces instead of tabs. Will |

I'm just playing with the search.htm file, trying to tidy it a little. One thing which seems odd is the amount of stuff squatting between the end of the head element and the beginning of the body element. Is there any need for this stuff to live outside the real document? One thing in there is a line <xml id='searchxml' src='search.xml'></xml> which I don't understand. Judging by Glenn's post on 17/5/02, this is obsolete - can I remove it/comment it out? Will |

Thoughts? I was thinking of mailing the list this evening to ask for thoughts on a release timetable. IMO none of the current SF bugs are show-stoppers - it seems a pity to have so much new in there which has not made it to a proper release yet. Given that the costs of delivering a new release are the same as a new beta, we shouldn't hold back. Will |

Dear All, I have checked in code with support for tooltips on the helpmenu. They're currently disabled by default - there's a new parameter in preferences.js. I've also done a heap of work on helpbox.js to make it load faster. Interestingly enough, there's over 100k of HTML generated to make that table in the middle (Glenn probably knew that...), so the way in which string catting is done is important. I suspect it would render still faster if the HTML was delivered to the window in more chunks, but I haven't bothered to play with this. Cheers, Will |

However, it's actually defined for WINVER >= 0x0500. WINVER wasn't explicitly defined in the DQSDTools project, so you and I were seeing different defaults (I build with the current SDK rather than the VC6 headers). So, I've explicitly defined WINVER as 0x0410, which broke my code in the same way as yours, then I've removed the use of this function, which was a bit daft anyway. I've checked-in a new stdafx.h and a new menubuilder.cpp. Cheers, Will |

Is there any reason not to turn these tooltips on as the default? Btw, I modified makeToolTipString to return the entire description. The HTML tags are stripped out using some regex's and it looks pretty nice, IMO.
