If you ever need it, I can probably dig up most old versions of Pelles C (anyone that can invent a timeless backup system will probably get very rich...)

Work in progress / Re: win32-doc md files

Last post by John Z - October 26, 2025, 01:10:27 PM

Well - Here is the next version of the mdfiles program.
I had hoped I had dropped enough hints that one of the more experienced would have created this but seems left for me

so here it is.

With this version one downloads the entire ZIP from from GitHub as TimoVJL mentions at the top of this topic. For the original mdfiles program I used TimoVJL's extract program to extract API Names from it, which I then used to created a database of the names and the paths within the github zip file. It stopped there.

Now with this new version 2.0 of mdfiles.exe it will if desired extract the selected .md for you, into the application directory. It also can just display the selected .md file without doing any extracting to the hard disk. Of course you can copy from the display too. See Screen shots -

There is a readme.txt in the zip file along with the .exe and the api db3 file. No sources yet as I need to figure out using the new minizip - I'm using a very old crude 2 file zip implementation and not happy about it, but I made it work....

Bug reports / Bug using RTF1 or RTF2 control

Last post by John Z - October 24, 2025, 04:02:41 PM

Spent days trying to figure out why one of my dialogs would not appear when called. It kept giving a 1421 "Control ID not found." error, but everything was defined and tested ok in the dialog editor.

In any case it comes down to adding either of the RTF controls to the dialog window.
Attached is a simple Hello_World project. Initially it has no RTF control, runs just fine.

Open the project and just drag one of the rtf controls onto the dialog, save everything and rebuild the program.
On MY system the dialog/program no longer works, corrupted somehow.
Go back and remove the rtf control rebuild again and everything is fine.

Help verifying that it is not just on my system will be appreciated....

Hello John, Hello Timo,

Thank you for your replies. I was able to download from archive.org the version 6.50 and 7.00 (in both installs it was a warning at the beginning which states that the WinCE is deprecated, but still works). Older version seems also to exist, but the install exe files were not retrieved by archive.org, and are not available. And I found here on the forum the version 8.00, which has the WinCE option removed. I am very happy with the version 7.00, which compiles my demos.

Once again, thank you very much,
Gyorgy
