Re: 'Read Only' ? Help!

Problem solved ! I just found out what went wrong. When I want to run a certain class, I usually do it by right-clicking on it in the list and choose ‘Run this class’. Sometimes I choose this from the ‘Edit’ menu and there, two options down from ‘Run this class’ is ‘Locked’. Being in a hurry as usua...

'Read Only' ? Help!

Help! I’m not sure where to put this question. A form in my project suddenly can’t be edited any longer and is marked ‘read-only’. I was happily editing and switching between forms when suddenly one of them – and of course the most important one – has turned ‘read-only’. I must have clicked somethin...

Re: The benefits of using vector graphics

Hi Cogier
I’ve just finished a new version of this this topic, including a nice ( 8-) ) project to demonstrate the .svg issue. I suppose that as a site admin you can delete this topic, so I can post it’s replacement. It could be confuzing to visitors if both versions stay online.

Re: How do I use 'created' controls?

Thanks Bruce.
Now I'm getting somewhere .....
But it would be a lot easier for a beginner if there were some examples to be found, wouldn't it.

Uploading certain file types

Sometimes when you want to include an attachment to a post you may find that the file type you want to attach is not accepted by this forum, such as vector graphics with the .svg extension. If that is the case, just archive them to a .zip, .rar, … Those will be accepted by this forum. That’s all fol...

Re: The benefits of using vector graphics

Hi Bruce and Cogier.
Thanks for the assistance.
Wouldn’t it be better to delete this post and I would post a new one where visitors will just read what this is realy about?
Cogier : PictureBox mode commands may indeed come in handy
Cheers
