RE: [Dynapi-Dev] Oversight (was: a couple of tools)

[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

Already struggling with it.. Although not all windows need to be open at all
times, you only have to open the debugger when you need it.

I was trying to work out some way to shade windows (min. size is 100x100)
but can't get it to work correctly yet, and not sure if it works under IE4.

I'm now trying to make the windows as easy-placed and small as possible..
but there will be some window moving when your working, for people familiar
with
Borland development envrionments it won't be such a big thing (there are
always some windows floating around as well)  but I think for people used to
DreamWeaver this will be not so familiar, and might look a bit difficult at
first)

Today I got the property editor working (simple, with bugs.. but it works
:-)  So I'm pretty sure I can release something this weekend (nothing really
useable
for projects or anything, but I'm hoping for feed back on it)

  Hi,
  One thing I was pondering while checking the screenshot, is that you seem
to have a large screen, so all windows have space, but please check what
happens at 1024 or 800, it clogs the display, maybe you can implement
show/hide, or shrink unused windows or something.
  Maybe it would be even nicer to add a "tile" function, which resizes all
windows to fill the screen.

  Cheers,
  Richard Bennett

    hmm, I can think of one :)

    I'm currently working on Oversight, which will be a debugger and editor
in one.. you can still download an early debugger version
    from my site : http://www.dynamic-core.net/

    I will hopefully be able to upload the latest code this weekend.. (the
editor part, and an updates debugger)

      Does anyone know of any debugging tools to use on the mac?
      Anything other than alert boxes would be very helpful :-)

      Thanks!

        I have found the following tools to be indeispensible when working
with (and debuggin) DynAPI

        (WIN32 - sorry)

        1) FreeMemPro
http://www.downloads.3bsoftware.com/Downloads/freemem/freemem.html

            This is a ram 'defragmenter' for Window 32.. the way it works is
it allocates as much ram from windows as it can, which forces windows to
swap unused data from physical ram to swap space.
        Then it releases this ram using proper memory management resulting
in more free ram.
        It will keep doing this until it gets as close to the specified
amount of free ram as it can.

        On my Win98 system which has 128 megs of ram, I ask it to free up
128 ,egs and it gives me
        80 to 100 megs free ram.. Which is damned handy when one has been
re-loading the same DynAPI app over and over again..

        It's not a cure for memory leaks but it make development much
easier, and reduces crashes/reboots.

        2) Taskinfo http://www.iarsn.com/download.html
            This program is for Window 9X and closly resembles the Task
manager in Windows 2000, with a little extra functionality.

        You can find out how much ram and CPU time each process is using,
what files the process has open and much more.

        In fact it was because of my constant observation of running
processes that I discovered last week that I had caught a trojan.. :-)
        " what in the hell is this Wininit.exe?!? and hey! I've never seen
DNETC.exe before.. "

        Just a couple of tools to hopefully make your life easier..

        Later
        Doug
