Hello Klaus, It was really appreciated that you've spent time to have a look on my small project.

- 4. click on check button to confirm
couldn't it be
- 1. select the cell, set directly focus on textbox
- 2. enter data
- 3. either
- click on another cell, and the data is confirmed
- click on check button to confirm
In this case if you enter a certain number of data you avoid 2 mouse clicks for each data.

Yes Klaus, I agree. I also found that somewhat inconvenience to the user. I've already tried what you have suggested, but I'm getting different behaviour on PPC, I have also implemented that user could click-select a variable on a cell that automatically write to textbox during input(similar to MSexcel) It works on desktop but getting errors on PPC. It became more complicated when I added the PPC arrows to navigate the cells. Maybe I need more time to get these right. Then I decided to go back on what it is now. I should give it a try again.

- It could be intersting to save the table column widths when leaving the program, so the user will find the same configuration at the next start of the program.

This is also a good idea.

- The buttons on top, mainly on the desktop, are blurred, this is because the dimensions of the image buttons are different from those of the bitmaps so they are stretched.
Left buttons image buttons 20/20 bitmaps 21/21 pixels
Check button 20/20 bitmap 15/15

I'll correct these on my next update. Thanks so much.

As I saw your beam calculation example, are you making civil engineering calculations, it looks like a quite long alluminum beam ?
|
Similar that applies in basic calculation for building facade engineering for vertical member for wind load.

As I saw in your code some variable names, for example J%, this reminds me some 'older basic dialects' where the % suffix meant integer and the $ suffix string variables.

Oh yes, I didn't find time to change all of the variables, I've code this text evaluator subroutine long time ago in Qbasic(1993).

I haven't made many calculations, so from the functionnality and possibility points of view I have no other suggestions.
These comments are suggestions and just one point of view and for shure no critics at all.
Best regards
