Hi all,
I've find that mailto:"Martha B. Kusterer"
<mbkusterer@toadmail.toad.net> has ask for a question about cw_form on
this forum, but i dont find the answer.. so i ask it again:
here what Martha wrote:
> I found that my code using cw_form with BUTTONs and DROPLISTs that worked in IDL 5.2
> on unix, no longer compiles in IDL 5.3. I get the error
> FIX: variable is undefined: VALUE in CW_FORM_BUILD line 352.
> Has anyone figured out how to get around this? I would greatly

so i've find a lot of difference between cw_form.pro in idl 5.2 and 5.3
i finally change the code in cw_form.pro (5.3):
line 352: uextra = { VALUE: FIX(value) }
became uextra = { VALUE: 0L }
as in cw_form.pro (5.2)
now it seem to works, but i'm not sure of what i've done. Is there
another workaround ?

Well, not unless aesthetics were important to you, anyway. :-)
Cheers,
David
P.S. Let's just say the folks giving blanket advice are
more known for making funny jokes on the newsgroup than
they are for writing production code. They seem to have
more time and a different agenda than the folks trying
to get a job done. But I agree with Patrick. :-)
