Net Control Window again

Unread post by g0vgs »

Hi Tom,
The Net Control Window is getting better but it seems *really* hard to get the callsigns into the log now. Double clicking on a call with the 'active' box unchecked opens the fields for writing. To get the call into the log you have to be really precise and click on a column separator. So I guess there are a couple of options. Firstly you could disable the fields when the 'active' box is unchecked or a second button could be provided to log the contact? There may well be other ways but this is all I have come up with so far :)

Thanks for a great program with great support and Seasons Greetings to you and your family!

Before you try to double click, make sure the desired row is deselected. Just click in another (or unused) row, or move the mouse shortly out of the window. When the row is deselected the double click will be easy.
BTW, these functions are done by the OS.

Hi Tom,
I have a better idea of what is happening now. I noticed it today while running the Elecraft net. Imagine I have 8 people in the net. They gradually leave and I mark them inactive but one is still left. I can log the ones *above* the active one but not any of the ones *below* it. This means I have to mark the active one inactive to get the log times correct.

73 and a happy new year :)

Something was going wrong after testing. You are right, it is not working as expected.
