BlackBox Component Builder Forums

Thank you for your sample. It works. It doesn't behave the way as I expect. I can move the window to the other monitor, but I can't edit the decouple child windows with the BlackBox menu.

Another question is: How to read the attributes of a Linux file or Linux directory from BlackBox?
Is there a call available via the Lin library? Where can I find a description or an explanation about the Lin library?

How to start from BlackBox the Linux terminal program and run a command in Terminal?
Where can I find samples?

In BlackBox there exist a MODULE WinApi for calling Windows services.
Does anybody have a MODULE LinuxApi for calling Linux services? How is it called? Where can I find it?

Most the time I read the next line 3 times (the second and third line overwritten with the first line). Seldom all 3 lines are unreadable.

So I am too. I propose to change in HostWindows the number of lines to one for wine and left it unchanged for Windows IF Dialog.IsWine() THEN lines := 1; ELSE lines := 3; res := WinApi.SystemParametersInfoW(104 (*SPI_GETWHEELSCROLLLINES*), 0, SYSTEM.ADR(lines), 0); END; That help me very much and so...

Note: Setting lines equal one, doesn't solve the problem. Slow scroll works but sometimes fast scroll produce the same error.

> What if you set lines := 3; under wine without calling WinApi.SystemParametersInfoW?
I have the same problem.
