Hi Devon, You might look at the image Qt Demo (Help|Studio|Qt Demos...) for some examples for displaying images in forms. There are other demos there that may be of use too. There are some examples of simple gui apps on Rosetta code, eg: http://rosettacode.org/wiki/Simple_windowed_application#J ht

Thanks Henry, So the display of the tab characters would depend on their position relative to the next tab stop. Being consistently inconsistent in the display then would make sense. :-) Cheers, bob > On May 21, 2017, at 7:58 AM, Henry Rich wrote: > > The symbol is being output exactly as it

The symbol is being output exactly as it is defined: with a TAB (9{a.) character as part of the display. How that gets displayed is up to the display system (Qt etc.). The original purpose of TAB characters was to put the character following the TAB into a fixed column in the display. It soun

Devon, I don't have any code, but it shouldn't be too difficult, and with luck there is existing code you could use. I wanted to point out that this could also be nicely done. perhaps with a bigger learning curve, in JHS. On Sun, May 21, 2017 at 5:02 AM, Devon McCormick wrote: > Hi - I'm look
