Unfortunately, ClassPad News in classpad.org does not say anything about this Add-In. The last news available is the "Free Cell" and an update for "Pyramid Solitaire".
The Help Add-In is included in the "New Downloads" section, but I cannot see why two patience games are included in ClassPad News, while the Help Add-In is not.
Actually, there is a main section and one sub-section. The number of add-ins that are not games are small enough to fit on the main "add-in" section. Ricky added a "Games" sub-section because enough games had been created where it made sense.Furthermore, there is no "Utilities" section in the "Add-Ins downloads" . All Add-Ins are grouped in a single category named "Games". There you can find several Add-Ins which are not games, but utilities.
Sue, it's part of the OS, but it is still an add-in too. If you don't have OS 2.0 you can download it. Anyway to just redirects you to Casio's classpad.net website. They still have it listed there, which is why classpad.org still has it listed.In this category, you can also find the SpreadSheet, which is not an Add-In anymore, but part of the OS.
No, we're just spending too much time posting on forums.It seems that people in Saltire are enjoying their vacations now...

Actually, Saltire is a bit unique because they offer 4 weeks flex-time. You use these 4 weeks for vacation, sick time, personal days, etc... You can also carry over 2 weeks and end up with a full 6 weeks in a single year.About the vacations, I know that Saltire is a real Every-Month-Is-A-New-Vacation company. However, they work very hard on the ClassPad and they are all really good people. I am telling this honestly from my personal experience.

Good to knowI hear you ...
The developer should have all time he needs. It's easy to realize that there is a lot of work to do. Just let us know, whenever you release a new version of the help Add-In...The performance problem is caused by the deletion of the entries of the keyword list. Filling the keyword list is much faster ??? Don't know why ???
Unfortunately on the ClassPad Emulator, all is working very fast, this makes the
development process not so easy (Compile ... Transfer to ClassPad ... Test ... and so on ...).
As soon as time permits I will investigate in this problem, and try to find a solution.
I will also add more help text with some examples. This is a lot of work, so please give me some time.
Obviously, your Add-In is useful to every CP user. Keep up the good work!Anyway, I'm glad to hear, this AddIn is useful for you.

Performance is now ok, and the Add-In becomes really useful. I think that it's time to add more help text and examples, as you 're planning.I just uploaded Version 1.4 of the CP300 Help Add-In.

Posted 07 September 2005 - 11:00 PM
It was just an idea. Your Add-In is still useful as it is now. Adding more help text and examples will make it a "must" for ever CP user.Your request about a full help system with hyperlinks, etc. is far beyond that what this program should be (a Quick Reference
).
Anyway, to realize such a "full help system" is an interesting challenge. I will look what I can do ...
I don't like C++, and I'm not using the SDK, but it seems that making an Add-In working in every CP application is such a universal problem.As some people said in this forum, it's would be really useful, when help is available from within any application. I don't know whether this could be done with the "normal" CP SDK, but I try to investigate ...
A lot of people are disappointed by the OS releses we have seen until now. I don't really hope that this will change in the future. I'm afraid that you will not see a "full help system" in a next OS release.I hope Casio hear the requests from their users, and will implement a "full help system" in one of the next OS releases.

So, here is how I would do: Just write "cos\xED\xFC" instead of cos^-1 (See ClassPad SDK Programming guide to see all character codes)
More example : E for EXP : "\xEE\x03"
pi : "\xEE\x04" ...
Posted 21 September 2005 - 08:31 PM
Good point, but it seems I have to change the UI elements, because these ones I use cannot display such special characters.
Cheers ...

What function are you using to display. All the ClassPad display functions should recognized these codes.
What do you see when you try to use these codes? If you see the explicit "\xEE\x03" then it's possible the string is incorrect.
Posted 24 September 2005 - 04:06 PM
These should all display multi-byte characters correctly. Are you using a special font, or the built-in font? How are you defining the strings? Also, what codes are you using? The SDK help file has all the correct codes. You have to use both bytes of the multi-bytes characters. If you use the correct 2-byte codes in a string and you are using the built-in font it should display correctly.I'm currently using PegVertList, PegTextButton and PegEditBox UI elements.
These UI elements display the special characters as a "checked square".

The multi-byte character codes are in the Programming guide on page 85...Forgot to say:
I'm not setting any special font, so I assume I'm using the built-in standard font.
