Hi Mr Bcx,

It does look bigger, but mine does not show the 1,4,8,16x just a blank box...
Strange.

Assembly discussions / Functions to handle the regist...

Last post by Vortex - May 11, 2025, 12:34:53 PM

Here is function to read the value in a specific registry subkey :

Code Select Expand

include     ReadRegistryString.inc

.data

subkey      db 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion',0
ValName     db 'ProductName',0

.data?

buffer      db 128 dup(?)

.code

ReadRegString PROC hKey:DWORD,pSubkey:DWORD,val:DWORD,buff:DWORD

LOCAL Handle:DWORD
LOCAL buffSize:DWORD

    mov     buffSize,128
    invoke  RegOpenKeyEx,hKey,pSubkey,0,\
            KEY_QUERY_VALUE,ADDR Handle
    test    eax,eax
    jnz     _exit
   
    xor     ecx,ecx
    invoke  RegQueryValueEx,Handle,val,ecx,\
            ecx,buff,ADDR buffSize
           
    invoke  RegCloseKey,Handle
    test    eax,eax
    setz    al

_exit:

    ret

ReadRegString ENDP

start:

    invoke  ReadRegString,HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,\
            ADDR subkey,ADDR ValName,ADDR buffer

    invoke  StdOut,ADDR buffer

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

END start
The code above retrieves the operating system from the registry.

General discussions / New Resource tool palette size

Last post by MrBcx - May 10, 2025, 09:49:09 PM

Maybe it's just me but it sure seems like the new Resource Editor tool palette is a bit oversized.

See attached screen shot.

Feature requests / Re: Help file suggestion

Last post by Robert - May 09, 2025, 11:00:33 PM

Hi Quin:

The Pelles Help file already uses CSS to style the tables, including the headers.

Missing components, regarding navigation with a screen reader, are the

Code Select Expand

<thead> ... </thead>demarcation tags enclosing the headers and the

Code Select Expand

<tbody> ... </tbody>demarcation tags on the rest of the table.

I suspect that a regex search and replace utility like DnGrep
https://dngrep.github.io/
could add the missing components.

Hello,

I think we care ignore the case of macros declarating procedures. There is a workaround.

Hi Quin,

Yes Pelle already uses CSS for his help file.  I did not include it when creating the test file for the headers.

Hi,
No, what I meant was I wonder if we can add the columns like you had, and then use CSS to style them.

Hi John,
Glad to hear it, that's incredible! I look forward to testing it.
I wouldn't worry about NVDA and the mouse, I don't have a mouse connected to my PC and use keyboard commands to manipulate the mouse when I need to.

Except for any typos, I'm very much done with this topic for now...

Understood -

Well that is my fault.  I was just testing how to make the change not thinking about a final look.
I'm sure your help file is still more usable for the screen reader now than before.

John Z

Oh it definitely is, and that is certainly much appreciated.
I wonder if we could achieve the wanted look with CSS? I know nothing about how it looks though so...
