in fnxbasic is it possible to make a menu splitter like between some menu items in other windows applications?
e.g. in IE click on file, splitter is between save as and page setup.

Where do you know from this: "use the standard caption designation of - [hyphen] code"

I think, not from FNXBasix manual   :)

and the manual needs lots of work Edit>PasswordChar does not work - expects a number - ?but manual says BOOLEAN and that fails compile but standard "*" [char] fails, &H2A and 42 just do nothing. [see below how I found that out]

From Delphi and Visual Basic and WinAPI.
I program in Delphi which is what FnxBasic is programmed with.
After years [>30] of programming you learn to spot the quirky things that each language has and don`t get me started on Jiva and C-- :)

Check my post about building a visual UI [like VB or Delphi].
I know how it is after spending 14 years with a product [$1500] that since DOS and now at v9.5 is based on QBasic + special stuff for doing mapping/GIS.

It is getting close for a release probably this weekend 10 Aug 2008
Look for the program name FnxDesigner.

still 16 controls to do output code on and then the MainMenu - it is not a control so the coding will be different
several tools -- Character converter / Color map and grabber / string Calc [for code test like (2+x)^pi] - yes you can assign a variable value to X and re-calc.
saves in text [like Fnx] for Delphi native binary for reloading
compile the code to FNX then save it and run the EXE for testing how it really looks and works in FNX
[remember every language has some quirks and does things slightly different on the visual side]
