If you haven't already gathered, I'm not having all that much time to work on this, as college starts tomorrow and I've had a long work schedule the past couple of weeks.

I am taking the next VB .NET class, so hopefully I can make this app better. I've noticed that startup is long enough (at least on my comp) to warrant a splash screen, if just to tell the user it is indeed, loading.

However, the subject of this class is databases. So an application similar to Cartographer might be off topic. But I'll still be learning new things, and that means new ideas.

If/when I get some free time, I'm going to refine the interface. Actually, I already have, except I did it in a copy I was using to add spob editing to. This was what got interrupted, so I'm real glad I made a copy. I'll still post any updates in this topic.

On my computer it won't show the zoom buttons but it shows everything else.

So the zoom level just looks like a text box?
Can you post or email a screenshot?

What do you think? :rolleyes:

Did you install the .NET framework? Do you have any viruses? Spyware?

That's the error you get when you don't have the .NET Framework installed. (url="http://"http://windowsupdate.com/")http://windowsupdate.com/(/url)

Thanks for not replying in a condescending manner, Artanis. Unlike some people.

No problem.

The .NET Framework update is easy to miss. Especially since I should have mentioned it in the Installation section of the readme, instead of in Notes.
I'm changing that now.

Condescending? Dude, you asked a really stupid question. In the topic title, it says "(WIN)". I was not being condescending; I was merely pointing out that it was a stupid question.

I also gave you the problem—you don't have the .NET framework.

Out of curiosity, Artanis, what is the difference between VB and VB .NET?

The system thing is to big. it cover's up were the zoom button's should be, I have a friend who has it.

Is it possible to post screen shot's without a web site? If possible, how?

If the file is small (ie not a full screenshot) try using (url="http://"http://www.tinypic.com")http://www.tinypic.com(/url)

It's where I store all my images for these boards. It's free, and it even gives you an (img) link to use in forums etc.

I didn't change the readme any, I'm short on time.

I just moved the layout changes from the copy into the release version. It should now be impossible for zoom to be covered by the system list. What is possible is for the system list to just collapse into nothing.

What is your screen resolution?

.NET is the newest version of the language. I know it's different enough to throw off VB programmers, but I've never seen enough VB to make a comparison.

So it's just an update? Or does it have special stuff for connecting to the internet (read: ASP)?

I do know that a .NET html browser is possible (and is part of a class project). Also, according to the prof, .NET is the easiest language to access databases with.
Also, the differences between .NET 2002 and .NET 2003 are significant enough to make a project in 2003 unopenable in 2002.

As for ASP, Visual Studio .NET 2003 came with the J# language, and the project templates include ASP .NET Web Applications, ASP .NET Web Services and ASP .NET Mobile Web Applications. Couldn't tell you what they mean though. I've only programmed in the VB .NET portion, and opened a C++ project to load the EVNEW source so I could look at it.

The server that hosts my professor's website is having problems, making it impossible to load any pages beyond the index. Actually, IE doesn't even get the index, though firefox may have it cashed on my HD. So my main source of comparison is offline for the moment, as it has class projects for both .NET and VB 6 thet look like they should do the same things.
It's (url="http://"http://cislab.moorpark.cc.ca.us/gcampbell/")here(/url) if you want to look yourself.
