Tony, thanks! I think I've got that part down now. Just have to get the randomizing logic in and I think I'm good! Many thanks!

I meant to say the open event of the button graphic - however, after trying to employ that methodology I keep getting a stack overflow when trying to open the main form, something about an event being nested too deeply?

Tony, thanks much, some more questions: If this button is nested in several differnt "boxes" on the page, is it necessary to specify each one of those from the form down to the graphic object to assign the image? e.g., form.box1.box2.box3.box3.menu.button.graphic=g ? or, if the code will be...

Langley, thanks much for the info, I've actually got that part down as I've had to do that in the past ;) what I'm trying to do is randomly assign a graphic to a button via a script or method on that button, e.g., this is something that would be happening once the form has been delivered (now I...

Tony, thanks again, I have another question now - and mind you this is really basic and I feel rather foolish asking...but, I'm not quite sure exactly what the "graphic object" is in terms of what I'm trying to do. http://img23.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img23&image=example.jpg is a link to a screen...

Tony, thanks very much - I'll take a crack at that when I get in to work tomorrow. You mention using the name of the graphic on the pushbutton - would that be the name of the graphic container or the img file itself? If so, I assume there is a way to query the name of the current image from a...

Tony, thanks much and yeah I did a little cross posting, since the various paradox forums are not quite constantly frequented it seems like there may well be some who only check out one or two. I appreciate it any help you can provide!

Tony, thanks Very much, I appreciate that, is there any chance you could provide an example chunk of code? I don't have access to the code right this second (at home). What I am interested in doing is the following: I have a script that opens up a form, this form has several "tabs" which contain...

Hello all, Does anyone know if it is possible to control the grapic displayed on a form button (for example, a bitmap) through a paradox script? What I would like to do is to be able to change the graphic that is displayed on a button object through a script and "randomize" the image displayed...

ok, I'm replying as I don't see any means to edit this post: I'm actually having a bit of a problem with another python related issue, specifically using python and wxPython. I'm trying to use the wxFileDialog to allow the user to select a file. I then want to display the path to that file in a...

Hello all, I am very very new to python. I've pretty much just picked it up to do a very specific task using wxPython ( window that allows a user to browse to a directory and then writes that directory to a registry setting ). What I am trying to figure out is how to use python to write to the...

hey all, does anyone know if it is possible to specify the netdir directory to use via the cmd line/shortcut properties when loading up paradox? I know that you can set a bde cfg file to use but the problem is that you can only write to the cfg file using objectpal/delphi. I have an...

thanks for the info folks. One app we have is built entirely using the pdox scripting language so I guess opening up the tables and forms without visually opening paradox is not necessarily possible. Follow up, is there a way to keep users from resizing certain windows/forms? Thanks much for the...

Hello, my company has a software product that runs on Paradox 7. The gui is built using the paradox scripting language. As it stands right now, when you run the program paradox opens first and stays open while the program runs within it. Is there any way to run paradox as a service or run it in...
