PgUp and PgDn repeating

There is not enough information here to answer this but I don't think it is a bug. If as I suspect, your file is being displayed in an ooDialog listView control and you are using the dialog's connectKeyPress method to detect the PageUp and PageDn, then I beleive that ConnectKeyPress on the dialog is working exactly as Microsoft designed. Might I suggest that you try using use the listview control's connectListViewEvent method to detect change of focus. The listView will handle the PageUp and PageDn...

Wow. I don't even remember that.

I want to echo what Rony and Gil say. Every day I see the commits and the bug reports closed - thank you so much!

Clearly, the recent flurry of activity in ooRexx development is due to the use of AI so it has become an important productivity boost for us. I, personally, have not yet made the "leap" but am wondering if a seminar/tutorial might be benefical to those of us who...

Hi Joseph Maria, This is NOT an objection. At the moment there's a lot of innovation going on, and I read about it on the lists, and mainly I feel a lack of the context I need to truly understand what the development means for a user. I'm sure you will do a brilliant job, but can I request that the docs are not just reference, but also user guide, perhaps with a simple example of a command handler written in oorexx please.

I have always admired the docs that we inherited from IBM, but I wonder if they were to undergo a major rearrangement/rewrite (and I'm not sure how big a rework Josep Maria envisages here) it might be strategic to rework them in such a way that they are easily accessible online to IDE auto-complete/help functionality. It might be the case that a completely separate knowledge repository is required with details of methods, arguments etc., but then that might create a bigger maintenance task going...

Hi Rony, I think so - others may know better. I'm not exactly sure how DO OVER works, but I think that would mean executing an unnecessary array~makearray method (you are in effect iterating over .file~readlines(myFile)~makearray) but I'm not sure (and don't currently have time to experiment) what sort of performance hit if any is caused by the array class makearray when the array is already non sparse - it is probably negligible. By the way, following on from what I wrote yesterday - Looking at...

Hi Rony, Yes, but 1) the stream class makearray function is very inefficient. 2) you have re-introduced the need to close the stream explicitly which I thought was what you are trying to avoid here I ran tests reading records into an array and it was much faster to use charin to read the entire file and then the string makearray than to use the stream makearray method. It is very difficult to get a sense of exactly how much faster it is - one gets figures in 2 different ranges. Whilst there is plenty...
