All right, the combined version is up now! My first guess would be that it's looking for the creator code. Out of curiosity, I tried changing it to something else and rebuild the desktop file, but the system still finds it. Just changing the file name also doesn't fool it. However, if both the...

Thanks for the kind credit by the way :)

I've made a Swedish version. I might be a good idea to append the language directly to the file name for clarity (and also to the version info, but I'm not sure about how to properly do that). Also, it might be more convenient to include the localized versions in the original sit file. Crutch...

Wow! I haven’t had time to check the thread during the weekend but came back just now to see if anyone had replied and was amazed to see all the activity. This is fantastic! Amazing to see a fix for it this quickly. Works great! And thanks for including the source. Ps. According to my test, the...

While searching for some files with Apple's Find File app using the date options (something I often do), I noticed I wasn't getting the results I expected. After some testing, there appears to be a bug which manifests itself in the following, somewhat peculiar way: If the system clock is set...

Huge thanks for your effort and for looking into it! Interesting to read about the results of your test. At first it felt like great news if the error was indeed in the code and easily fixed. However… when trying it out on my machine, the updated code doesn't change anything :( Very confusing...

Haha  :lol: Well, while I like the thought of it, the company that brags about having having 90-ish percent of their users on their latest OS and do all they can get away with to improve that number, would probably ditch bug reports about anything older than the second latest version unless...

Oh, it's buggy alright  :) After having a first look at MacsBug, I played around a bit with a version of the control strip module that sets the initial value to "0" if the previously returned value is out of range (not using of MacsBug at this point) and discovered that if the module is just...

Thank you very much, and thanks for the tip! I include a corrected version of the project here. By the way, first step taken: :)

Like I said, I just missed it when I went back to Apple's example for my post here – it's been initialized properly throughout all my tests :)  It's initialized to 0 during the initialization call to the module after the global variables are allocated. Regarding the globals, is this level of...

Wow, cool to hear that you worked at Apple in the 90's! Must have been fascinating. Well… all I can do at this point is trust the examples provided :) although I try my best to fully understand how they work. Thank you for the instructions on Macsbug. Very helpful, once I get started with it...

I haven't had the time to delve into Think C's debugger or Macsbug yet so I'm currently not using them (still a beginner…), but it's definitely on the top of my list of things to learn more about. But the code is straight from Apple's example, so I assume everything is set up properly...

Hmm… I discovered just now that while the module with the slider that I included in the archive works more than the first time a selection is made in Mac OS 9 just like in my previous tests, it stops working after playing around with the slider for a while. However, if I change the ticksOnSlider...

Thank you! To reduce the potential for error to a minimum, I've gone back to the original code from Apple ("Control Strip Sample", included in the Control Strip development kit) and just added the code for the slider (and commented out Apple's code for the pop up menu). The original project...

Thanks for the links! I've been learning to program with the mac toolbox for quite a while now but I've been completely unaware of the existence of that magazine. What a wonderful resource! Programming on classic Mac OS suddenly feels like a much less disconnected endeavor :) Thanks...

I just discovered that if the control strip is aligned to the very bottom of the screen, or one pixel above, the pop up menu appears correctly. If it’s located more than one pixel above, the menu appears as in the video. Obviously some kind of bug. Unfortunately, all versions of the Control...

The values returned are negative, sometimes apart from the first time a selection is done, when they occasionally are positive but mostly negative and always different from the following selections (should be positive), which first had me believe it had something to do with unmatching data...

The code that I'm using is just a copy of the code for the sample control strip provided in Apple's Control Strip development kit. It too uses a function provided by the control strip environment (SBTrackPopupMenu). The only thing I've changed is the number of items in the MENU resource. I just...

All of the functionality is provided by the Control Strip extension / control panel, I believe (all functions prefixed with "SB" (short for "Status bar", which was the Control Strip's original name), as described in the Control Strip documentation). Also, the slider appears correctly. It's just...

No brilliant old school programmers who can help me out here, or point me in the right direction? :) I would prefer if it was possible to get the slider to work, but if it's actually a bug, and it's difficult to get around, making the popup menu appear correctly would be okay too. Right now...
