Leos,

This can be done now with a simple save of the page variable [PageNumber] and a subsequent read of the file on startup. IF file <> exist, then start from the first page.

Thank you for your help Rcohen.

I´m sorry, but i don't understant it:

what i want is, when in test mode (run), i whant to stop the pub at the page that i want, do not return to the page when i have started.

I don't know if i am missing something...

Note: this remember to me another helpfull option that i (and many others) will apreciate in Neobook:

find page (we have goto page... but...)

Hi...

I try to compile a pub but i get this message:

"Unable to access compiler resource file. Please reinstall Neobook."

Maybe this has to do with the installation of Delphi i made in my system...???

"Unable to access compiler resource file. Please reinstall Neobook."
neobook is sometimes a bit unspecific with error messages.
Does you EXE you want to compile run yet?
Then neobook can not create the new one.
Start fresh and try again.

PS: I do not think it depends on the delphi installation.

Isn't that error occuring when you try to compile a pub that is already open?

For instance, trying to compile the test.pub -> test.exe, when you are running test.exe.

I've had my share of those (or similar) alerts.

This error has been happening on MY end since 5.0.... not only when there is a running instance of the compiled test pub, but also when there is NOT. However, I did learn that if you simply ignore it and keep going, things run fine.

"Unable to access compiler resource file. Please reinstall Neobook."

This error is unusual, but it should only occur when NeoBook can't write to the pub's ...(test).exe file. Normally, this file is deleted after each run, but if the pub is still running or if the pub didn't shutdown completely, the Windows won't unlock the file and NeoBook can't overwrite it.

When you have this problem again, try the following:

1. Check the pub directory and see if the pub's ...(test).exe file is there.

2. Check the Task Manager and see if the old version of the pub is still running.

Let me know what you find out.

With NB v5, I get the message "Unable to access compiler resource file. Please reinstall Neobook" when the "Compile to:" path doesn't exist. In every case, I have been able to correct the problem by making the sure the "Compile to:" path and target filename are correct AND that the target path/filename is writable (e.g., not currently running).

I know this is late in the game but I too welcome the update.



Now that we can populate form fields online, is there any way of simulating clicking the submit button? (beyond the current post/get options)

MEGASTEVER1:

... in a form that is part of HTML document you created/control or in a form presented by (say) yahoo, ebay etc. ?

Apart from security considerations ... that I haven't checked out one way or another so far ... if you deploy any such automated form-filler facilities in your applications that are sold to third parties, you run the risk of failure if the owners of the form/html make a change to their web page.

Not withstanding the above, it is possible ... but might require a look at the "implementation method" deployed in the web page ... the "onClick" response might be a direct "get/post method" or a call to a (javascript/vbscript) function ... which does some initial checking ... adds/modifies entered fields and then issues a command to invoke the "get/post method" ... so any "submit from NeoBook script" would have to follow the same process sequence.

And AJAX (Asynchronous Javascript And Xml) is taking-off like wild fire ... so the dialog between client and server is happening in numerous small instances (e.g. field by field ... without a web page refresh/replacement) instead of one big instance when the Submit button is pressed ... so developing NeoBook scripts/logic to simulate all that may be impossible.

Where are you seeing this? It looks OK here.
