Folks,
I ran into a strange thing yesterday. I was getting ready to teach an
IDL class about widget programming, and I wanted to look up a detail
about the type of event in a draw widget event structure. There has
always been a table of "types" in the documentation. But, in my on-line
help, this table had disappeared. In fact, nothing in my documentation
said anything about the type field in this event structure!
Later, in class, on another machine, I went to this page of
documentation and there the table was!
I don't know WHAT is the matter with my on-line help system, except that
it seems to have been corrupted in some way. I normally just "update" to
the next IDL version of the software, and have been doing this since
1986. But, ....
I just checked the link I am using. It is pointing to the right
directory.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
David
