When I click on the X when I accidentally poped up the Edit Command popup it said "The value of "index" cannot be "-1"" and the (unhelpful) details button said:

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

invlaid move menu was trying to set menu item at -1 when lowest is 0

[will421]

Heh, the lowest value for a array`s data in C++ (and maybe C) is 1, very confusing for beginners.

[iRule]

i used vb.net but it still could be 1 =/ ... ether way it was trying to set to low =]

[michaelb958]

Um, what? C, C++, C# and VB.NET index their arrays from zero.
* VB.NET: heaven knows why... but see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2k7ayc03%28v=VS.80%29.aspx anyway.
* In C, it was pointer-array equivalence. In C, array[index] == *(array + index). So the first element had to be element 0 or you lost space equal to the size of the type held by the array, and back in 1972 that was a Bad Thing.
* C++ and C# desired backwards compatibility with C. See above.

On the other hand, several languages index from 1, and one (I think) indexed from a programmer-specified positive integer. Either way, accessing negatively-indexed array items is Not A Good Idea.

[will421]

Sorry. I was dumb back then.

[will421]

Ignore the links.

[michaelb958]

Executable excellence! I'm a bit past the stage where I need this, but it's quite a good program. In fact, you've inspired me to create Script Maker, an application which allows you to create [in this manner] batch files and VBScripts [with WScript or CScript]. I might even include JavaScript in version 2.0.

[iRule]

glad i could be an inspiration.. and id like to see an end product.. it will be far better than mine lol -iRule

[michaelb958]

Script Maker was getting too complicated, so I scrapped it and moved on to something a bit easier - C. (That's the programming language.) I figure I could have the program read subroutines out of the libraries.

[iRule]

i have come in contact with C# a few times but over all whenever i use that kinda scripting i use VB.NET, so would be interesting to see how you did, either way good luck with it!

[michaelb958]

You could simplify that code immensely by using Select Case instead of all those Ifs.

[maxoomen]

It works also on windows XP you only need to download the newest version of microsoft .net

[account3r2]

:( i dont have vista. i only have xp. i love batch and things.

[iRule]

i think this will still work as long as you have the .NET framework .. and if you don't, a couple of comments down tells you where to get it :) please tell if you get it to work.

[lunchboxslayer27]

if it doesnt work for you, save the .tmp file, and just rename it to *whatever you want*.bat. it didnt work for me as an exe, but it worked as a tmp renamed to a bat

[erikals]

got this to work in xp, cool Great work. I like it.

[Jakash3]

For those of you who cannot run this, you probably don't have .NET Framework installed. This is needed in order to run programs that were programmed in Visual Basic .NET

Download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0856eacb-4362-4b0d-8edd-aab15c5e04f5&displaylang=en

[will421]

Taking a long long long long long long long long long long long long long long long time to download...

[will421]

*sigh* That time was wasted...

[will421]

Or not. But when I try to run MakeABatch.exe it just shows this error message "C:/windows/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v2.0.50727/mscorwks.dll could not be loaded". Help?

[iRule]

just a guess here but do you even have the windows folder on Wine?

[will421]

Yes.

[iRule]

OK then i guess my batch maker and the .NET framework just hate you Don't no why its not working soz

[will421]

Wine will not take anything from Microsoft.

[will421]

Not even IE. *sigh*

[fwjs28]

then you probably don't have WINe configured correctly (and why would you want IE when linux has far superior browsers to any MS browser)

[will421]

It does have its own (crappy) version of IE! And I want Microsoft`s IE because of VBS. (It won`t even understand stand-alone VBS scripts!)

[TATcreator]

You are welcome.

[will421]

You mean Your welcome, I`m right, right?

[fwjs28]

not You're welcome is the proper term or better yet is You are...

[will421]

Oops, brain got stuck.

[fwjs28]

then get it un-stuck (im guessing by now its un-stuck(ed-ed?)

[will421]

It was stuck, like, 19 days ago and 1 minute ago. Don`t you think that I would have unstuck before now? P.S. I was actually thinking of you`re but then my brain shortned it to your.

[fwjs28]

some people take time to get un-stuck...just checking...^{ps, you comprise of like 99% of the comments i receive, lol}

[will421]

And I have 99 comments right now...

[fwjs28]

woot?

[iRule]

-_- seriously whats with the massive convo?

[fwjs28]

massive?

[will421]

289 comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
