Hello, GWMicro et al,
I find trying to customize WE7.5.1 (and other releases too) via the
app mechanism very cumbersome, difficult, and daunting. Even the
manual on writing apps is not clear (%data%???) due to a lot of
cut-and-paste concerning description of controls, etc.
I'm trying to get WE7.5.1 on my W XP box to announce the chess moves
when running KChess Elite 4. The experience with apps is more
frustration than a pleasure. I can, however, use the same set of
keystrokes to locate and read the last move made. I have another
program, a text editing program called Epsilon, that allows me to
start recording the keystrokes as they are made. Once I've finished
with the keystrokes, I can terminate the keystroke recording; and,
optionally name and save that "keyboard macro" for later use.
I offer the suggestion to GWMicro as an alternative to such a clumsy
mechanism as apps, no matter how powerful they may be. The
implementation of apps is beyond many a WE user. In any event, the
app manual needs correcting and updating to simplify the issue of
turning WE users into OO programmers.
Just a suggestion...
