  • Size of directory selection box in TCC/LE

    From Ralf Brinkmann@21:1/5 to All on Tue Feb 2 15:20:16 2016
    Hi everybody!

    I hope, here are still some more people than only Klaus, who helped me a
    lot with my last problem.

    Now:

    If I'm on the command line prompt in TCC/LE and want to change to a
    directory, that's name exists in various directories and subdirectories,
    a selection box appears with all the possible targets.

    This box is so small that I can't even read the first paths.

    How can I set the size of this box constantly to higher values, for
    example the entire width of the screen and half the length?

    Gru�, Ralf

    Hallo Klaus!

    *Klaus Meinhard*:

    This box is so small that I can't even read the first paths.

    On my desktop, I can simply drag the sides with my mouse to the desired
    width and height. Can't you?

    Of course, I can do everything with my mouse. But that's not what I
    want. I want to open this pop up window always as wide as the
    TCC/LE-windows is. I have also tried to use the key combination
    ALT-Space and X, but that didn't work. I found something in the INI-File
    called PopUpWindowWidth, but that didn't work, too. Maybe this is from
    old 4DOS. Any other idea?

    Gru�, Ralf

    Hallo Ralf,

    PopUpWindowWidth is working here. The width is set in pixels, not chars :-)
    Try a value of abaou 600 .

    So you want to change the default initial width of the "Change
    Directory" pop-up window? I don't think I have ever seen a way to do
    that.

    Hallo Klaus!

    *Klaus Meinhard*:

    PopUpWindowWidth is working here.

    PopUpWindowWith is denied here. The name must bei PopUpWinWidth. But all
    these PopUp... keynames did not change anything here.

    But I found out, that this one worked:

    CDDWinLeft=20
    CDDWinTop=20
    CDDWinWidth=2350
    CDDWinHeight=1250

    The width is set in pixels, not chars :-)

    Yes, rather confusing everything.

    Oops, I tried it with a popup window :-)

    And you can do it from within TCC:

    OPTION [/U //Optionsname[=Wert ...]][Optionsname]
    /U(pdate - Aktualisieren)
    Optionsname: Name der zu setzenden/�ndernden Option in der
    INI-Datei
    Wert: Neuer Wert f�r diese Option

    Hallo Ralf Brinkmann,

    Ok, I can try this out. I have used "option" to open the new option
    window and I think, there are not all possible options and settings
    visible.

    That's right. Rex doesn't like user's fiddling with some options,
    because they produce a lot of support questions.

    What is a popup window? I have the TCC/LE command line opened in a
    maximised window and when I type "brinkmann\downloads\" another small
    window opens for the correct path selection. I thought this is a popup
    window.

    And you can do it from within TCC:

    OPTION [/U //Optionsname[=Wert ...]][Optionsname]
