Schon mal Danke im Voraus

Das mache ich gerne.

Nur in den nächsten 3 Tagen kann ich das höchstens mal in einer "Nachtschicht" machen.

Mein Vater ist heute vor 2 Stunden überraschend gestorben.

While translating the English file to Portuguese, I found these typos:

Tomoorow, should be Tomorow
Waether upate, should be Weather Update

In my file I have a Word that perhaps is too big for the localization on the app...
Configurações' If this is too long just use "Config"


PS. How do I find my location code..I went to yahoo, set my location and copy what I thought to be my location code..
PORTUGAL-MATOSINHOS, but I got SION on the app...
Got this working, I would have swornned that I entered the exact same location code before...
Well this time, due to the BUG posted below, I entered the code directly in the ini file and it works...
BUG::In my quest to "Guess" mylocation I rendered the app useless, as I entered an invalid location (zip-Code) in the location field...
To make it run again I had to edit the ini file and delete my previously entered value inthe locations...

I have uploaded .28.1 which is a bug fix that may help with some of the location problems. If the program has a bad location code it should default to location 1, and if that is bad it should default to "77095" so you can go back into the location editor and fix it. At least that is how I tried to program it to act.

Hi Paulo,

To get the code for your location you can do it directly in the program.
In the main menu go to Locations.
In the locations window, click on one of the Add checkboxes.
Then you will see comboboxes where you can select your location and click on the save button.
Then you come back to the location window and there you will see your code. Click on the Save button.
Then you will see the weather in your area.

The pictures below shows it.

In getting the location Sion, at least you saw the weather in my area. It's snowing right now.

Best regards.

Hi digitaldon37,

There are still some problems with the multilanguage.
- I missed one text
- The short date on the bottom of the main window is in English
- The weather condition text on the 2nd window is also in English

The last two ones come directly from the RSS message submitted by Yahoo.

I will have a look ,the next days, if and how this could be improved.

Best regards.

I have uploaded developer version .30 to the main post. Changes include

1. Replace "radio button" navigation with menu navigation
2. Current and forecast details page has been updated

Hi digitaldon37,

I have updated the language support for the actualisation date.
The weather condition text is still in english. There are more different texts than images so it is almost impossible to translate those without having the whole set.
I tried to read the html file coming back form sites like these:
Sion Prvision Yahoo! Mto
Sion Wetter Vorhersagen - Yahoo! Wetter
Meteo Sion | Previsioni del tempo - Yahoo! Meteo

But there doesn't exist such sites for each language. And the special characters are not displayed correctly.

I played also a bit with themes.

Best regards.

What about something like this

How did you get the background to work?

I've added a couple of changes and uploaded version .31 to the main post.

Hi digitaldon37,

The picture is directly put in the Form1.Image.
The lines and the texts are drawn onto the forelayer of the form with
a DrawerEx object from the ImageLibEx.
It could have been done directly with Form1.FLine and Form1.FDrawString.
But I use right alignment for some texts, and for that I need the StringWidth function that is in the ImageLibEx library with the DrawerEx object.

I am also looking to replace the menus by ToolBars.

When I am almost finished I will post it.

Best regards.
