Help Files
Quote from AtariRiot on January 6, 2022, 6:02 pmHi there,
I am using VisualNeo Win and NeoDBPro. When I open up the help documentation it often refers to "See Defining Colors." which is a clickable link. When I click on it, the html page just jumps to the beginning. and "Defining Colors" doesnt open. When I copy that link and try to open it manually it gives me "404 Not Found (visualneo.com).
Is there something broken in the help section? Is there a way to have downloadable help files for me using when Im working offline?
Regards

The dbpSetGridProperties Action allows you to specify colors to customize the appearance of a table grid. NeoBook's interface provides a simple color selector that makes this process easy, but you can also define colors manually if you prefer to type actions into the Action Editor. There are two methods you can use to specify colors in the parameters that require them. These methods are defined below:
Method 1:
Simply enter one of the standard Windows color codes from the list below:
Black
Maroon
Green
Olive
Navy
Purple
Teal
Gray
Silver
Red
Lime
Blue
Fuchsia
Aqua
Yellow
White

InfoBkThe first 16 color codes (Black-White) are generic colors that will appear the same on all computer systems. The other colors are user customizable and can be changed using the Windows Control Panel, so other computers will likely display these colors differently that they appear on your PC. For example:
"FontColor=Purple"
Method 2:
Alternatively, you can specify a custom color using its Red, Green and Blue (RGB) components. Every color that can be displayed on a computer screen is composed of specific quantities of red, green and blue light. By specifying levels (from 0 to 255) of these three colors, you can create any one of the 16 million colors in the computer's palette. In NeoBook, you can specify custom colors using this format:
"FontColor=Red,Green,Blue"
For example, to create pure blue you would specify 0 for red, 0 for blue and 255 for blue:
"FontColor=0,0,255"
For pure green, you would specify 0 for red, 255 for green and 0 for blue:
"FontColor=0,255,0"
You can get really fancy by specifying varying amounts of each of the three values. For example, the following will create a pale shade of blue:
"FontColor=176,232,248"

Quote from AtariRiot on January 6, 2022, 11:34 pm@luishp thank you for your effort, I can confirm it now works. How about using the help files offline? Is there any solution you are aware of?
Cheers

IF Luis is ok with it, I can download it and provide it as a local copy. ?Note: that you can use the old NB help file for most things, with exception to those functions that were added as VNWin
