Re: ToDo app
Hi, Sorry, i had to be more precise about the installation process, First, you create a new program file with any name you want. I use “ToDo.sb” for the program itself. Then you copy/paste the code from the posting into that file. Secondly, the program uses a data file, which will be created by the ...

ToDo app
Hi all, I frequently use some tiny, but handy tools, written in SB. Tose are a shopping list, a ToDo list, and a password vault. This post is about the ToDo list. It runs well on iPhone and on iPad. Basically it’s a scrollable list, kept on a “disk” file. Below it is a field, to enter new ToDo items...

Re: Solar System
Hi Davey,
After copying the source and running it, i got 3 consequtive error messages.
The starting combi /* had to be inserted at the beginning of the file,
In the section “Planets”, there were missing statements “end if” and “next i”.
Adding these made the progam run nicely

Re: Bug in pages or in program ?
Hi Ton,
After the first call to the function “ButtonBar”, the “FILL ALPHA” parameter remains zero, whence the circles are drown, but without any color strength.

Re: Dealing with error messages
Hi Geordie, As far as i know, SB has no error trapping like "on error goto.....". In the example mentioned by you the error may be evaded by using something like the following snippet: f$="Data/messages.txt" ! i=0 if not file_exists(f$) then return while data_exist(f$) i+=1 ! file f$ input .mess$(i)...

A flexible calculation tool (part 2)
Calculations around an annuity loan requires 4 variables: the principal sum “C”, the interest rate “i”, the amount of periods “n”, and the payment per period “PpP”. The usual formula is the one that calculates the “PpP” as a function of the other 3 variables: PpP = i * C / ( 1 - (1+i)^(-n) ). If we ...
