Procedure in global embeds, inside global map doesn't start at begin line Why?

[Dirk1]

Hi All,

I have ie this procedure declaration inside the global map

SubclassMDIChild      PROCEDURE(LONG pHwnd, STRING pShortText),LONG

After running i get an error Expected: (,*;

because it jumps to column 6
before! it stayed on column 1

C11
Single but big app

Any ideas?

If i try this app all works

How to subclass a window and shorten the title when using MDITabs

[ClarionSubClassMDITabsDemo] I created this demo in response to a post in the Clarion newsgroups asking about how to shorten the window titles when using the MDI tab feature of Clarion on an appframe. Here is a demo app in C11 that shows how to do it. https://www.clarionproseries.com/download/SubClassMDITabs.zip It has five MDI windows and the code applied to three of them so you can see how it works and what it is like without it. I hope this helps someone in the future! Charles

Hi Dirk,

There are two ways to fix this.

First is to mark the embed a column 1

Or use the “short form” definition

   SubclassMDIChild(LONG pHwnd, STRING pShortText),LONG

take the word PROCEDURE out, then it won’t need to be on column 1

Thx both. Working again.

@jslarve

take the word PROCEDURE out
SubclassMDIChild(LONG pHwnd, STRING pShortText),LONG

I prefer to use the the “short form” definition rather than Column 1. If I copy the embed code into another App I won’t run into compile errors until I remember to go back and check Column 1.
