The chart you posted shows that less than half of the Office 2007 packages have this software and its hotkey enabled, so it shouldn't be a big problem (Smilie)

You read the chart wrong I'm afraid....

It is not because there are only 3 dots on a horizontal line for OneNote, that less than half the people are going to suffer from this.

The first dot especially shows that many people are going to suffer from it, since it stands for one of the most common packages of Office2007. The further you go to the right the rarer the packages become since students and other normal users wouldn't be able to afford such high end pro packages, they would have mostly the student and standard versions.

I realized that, but still, as long as they're disabled by default and the shortcuts are customizable, it should be fine

I was thinking of doing that (and actually the text is stored when you edit it now, I changed that for its initial release) but it still shows special characters everywhere when it wraps.

Erm so when you're storing the text. You can get the text and use SetControlText when needed while editing . Get me?

Yes, and that works fine. In fact, I believe (but honestly I'm not sure since I haven't made changes to the editing mechanism for a while) that it does that currently. The major problem is that when you resize the Stickynotes, special characters appear in the text box as it wraps. This doesn't happen with the standard static controls (except for with line breaks).

Stickynotes has been updated again, you can get it from the first post in this thread .

Stickynotes update notes:

When the user gets a "new update available" window, the release notes are a bit strange:
This version of Stickynotes is even more bugfixes and changes for the final Plus! release.
change to:
This version of Stickynotes is even more bugfixed and changed for the new Plus! release.

("final" to "new" cause there is no such thing as a 'final' version though; a new release will always be 'final' until the next release )


More urgent to fix:

Eventhough the user has cancelled the update, a popup may appear from Stickynotes telling that you can't use the hotkey feature (for whatever reason, doesn't matter). But this popup has got no indication at all that it comes from Stickynotes, this needs to change so the user knows from where it comes.

I suggest to change the title. "Warning" is the current title, but it's already clear that it is a 'warning', so better change that to 'Stickynotes v1.1.117' or something.

I have changed the title and it will be included in the next update (which will be soon )

When I add a note and start typing something in it, for some odd reason after a couple of words it starts to act as if I'm keeping some key pressed.
Best explained in a screenshot, see attachment.
It happens with every single note I try, after a seemingly random amount of letters/time. Can anyone confirm?

EDIT: forgot information:
Vista Business
WLM .178
MP!L .261
Stickynotes .122

Can't reproduce on WinXP SP2

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (5.1.2600)
Windows Live Messenger 8.01.0178
Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.0.261

Can't reproduce here either, exactly the same versions of everything as in the first post.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 (6.0.6000)
Windows Live Messenger 8.01.0178
Messenger Plus! Live 4.11.0.261

URGENT: Stickynotes still produces popups at startup.

1) At Messenger startup:
- messagebox "The hotkey to add a note can not be registered"
- all the existing notes

2) At user sign in: "update available"


All still not fixed. For the update and the notes, remember that settings are not removed when plus! installs the scripts, so this has the potential to display the update window since it could have been longer than 7 days since the previous version was installed and thus that registry setting set.
