Talk:Mapper

From OPU Wiki

beta testers for a project that is still in alpha?

lol.. but there was version 1 before that, which reached v1.9. v2 is a totaly new version so its alpha for v2 but not for the project overall.

Now it's technically 'beta'. -- op2hacker

Windows 9X supported ?? > i get severeal errors on startup, and then it closes:

vbaIDTag6: Error 440 - Automation error
PopupControl: Error 429 - ActiveX component can't be created
vbaIDTag6: Error 429 - ActiveX component can't be created
OP2Mapper: Error 440 - Automation error

oh, btw: the startup sequence has no ID on the task-swapper, wich makes it hard to access ->alt+tab doesn't work

I have win98 and didn't get these errors. have you run the mappersetup.bat? I got other errors though :(

.. i have now: but i still get the same errors... i may have to reboot. Will check again after that!

More bugs

Found another bug in the mapper, but i think this is more of a common MFC problem (=microsoft). When saving the map using 'save as' you can type in a new name. You can also move your cursor using the arrow keys. Doing this will also move the map viewport (while the save as dialog is displayed on top of it, disabling the underlying window). This should not even be possible, and it sure ain't when using C-Builder, unless you specificly insert the code for it; so i think this is a problem with the MF classes (no, not MotherF* ... but Microsoft Foundation :p)

Well, the mapper doesn't use MFC or any of that crappy framework.

That is a mistake on my part. I need to have it remove the keyboard hook when the map window deactivates. Problem noted.
