How's my German... the German speakers ? 

Those colours and fonts remind of the old Hercules card.. Ok it was usually green.. but with an orange monitor is look very much the same

View menu - you can select background and foreground colors - and it will remember them for you

..- and it will remember them for you   

You know, it's quiet amazing how many bits of software lack this nice little feature..

i originally had that stuff in the registry, but switched to a small config (bin) file
it also remembers text size and window size, but not window position
i thought it best to let windows locate the window

it only remembers for one instance though - i may update that so the 2 instances can look different

your German is flawless.  Did you have a little bit help by Google translator?

Hi dedndave,

The ECM_AFTERCREATE message is Easy Code defined (just for visual projects). It's sent to the window being created after it and its children are completely created and before the window is shown.

Regards!

Hi K_F,

Please give me some time to study your code and I'll come back to you.

Nope.. it's just a little bit that I've 'picked up' over the years..

I've (and the wife  ) always watched a lot of doccies over the years on WW2, especially wrt to the German and Russian points of view... the sides that you don't hear much about.
It was really funny at my in-laws one day.. my wife's grandfather was Italian-British (war vet) and our eldest kid, who was about 4 or 5 years old and had been watching most of the german doccies with us..  said to my father in law... (this came out of the blue!!)
"Grandpa.. do you know I can speak German !! "
"Really!! speak to me then "
"Sieg Heil !!"

I fell over laughing, my in-laws eyes bulged... and then they looked accusingly at me... I shrugged  my shoulders.
He'd innocently picked this all up from the video's, and had no idea about what he was saying.
Naturally we educated him more as the years moved on.. but it was as funny moment!!
