 Since it's release back in September 2006, PPL has evolved greatly. The community has been amazing, there has been quite a few projects completed and some are in development.

We would like to know what you are on, give us some information, release date, description, technology you are using, etc...

 I prepare to create a quiz-like program, where is specific number of questions and for every question are 3 possible answers. The Q and A are rather big snipets of text. One A or one Q goes to the display only. I look for some hit how to resolve it in the sense of a basic convenience at least. I have a certain idea indeed, but I have not sufficient knowledges so far about PPL.

 I’m playing with several things at the moment, the main one is a card game, still very much on a learning curve, but have created a few little applications for my own use, namely Currency Conversion (£ -> Euro), Simple Noughts & Crosses Game, Specific Gravity Conversion, but my favourite is a counter until I retire and have more time to play with PPL.

 Paul, the retirement counter is a very good idea. I like it!

Matteo: Version 1.24 will fix one Vista issue but not the whole thing. I plan on getting Vista very soon to make sure it works perfectly with it.

 I'm currently porting a Flashcard program of mine (origionaly written using Liberty Basic 4) to PPL. It's a very good flashcard program that i've designed specificly for studying chinese characters. Now that i'm buying a Windows Mobile phone, it will be very conienient for me to study anywhere i go. It will be very handy on any WM phone with a touch screen.

Here are the functions of my flashcard program:

1. load any flashcard datafile (CSV format)
2. display the number of flashcards before the study session starts
3. keep track of correct and incorrect answers
4. display the final score at the end of the study sessioin
5. optionaly save the wrong answers to a new datafile so that only the wrong answers may be studied in a future study session

i'm nearly finished with porting it, however....i seem to be having a problem with one thing......
and this may be a really silly question, but...
How do i change the font size of a particular text box?
Chinese characters are really difficult to look at when they are small, so i need the PinYin and English definition to be about font size 12, and the chinese character to be about font size 36.

 Try Control_SetFont() in Swapi.ppl library, it will change the font.

 how can i test for the End Of File when working with a sequential data file?

VB would be something like...

Open "flashcards.txt" For Input As #1
Do
'file operations go here
Loop Until EOF(#1)

..how can i do this with PPL?

 To read through a file:

fp$ = fopen("flashcards.txt", "r");
while(not(feof(fp$)))
  s$ = ReadString(fp$);
  //do whatever with string here
end;
fclose(fp$);

You might want to redirect actual programming / syntax related questions to the Support forum.  Thanks!
