So I'm trying to make an ASM program. I'm starting with basically an empty DCS header:

When I try and run this on WabbitEmu, DCS says it's a BASIC program. What's going on here?

How big is the resultant .8xp? It looks like the problem is spaces in your path (D:\Documents and Settings\...).
The file is 1kb, and the path shown there is correct, D:\Documents\Programming\z80\ is where my stuff is.
However, when I type "Compile.bat asdfasdf" it goes ahead and compiles it... And creates an 8xp. There is no file asdfasdf.
Alright, solved it. The problem was I was trying to compile it with the extension.

Ah, glad to hear that you resolved it. 
Keep me updated with your future ASM Woes.
Oh I will.
I'm trying to do this:
Code: call PushGUIStack(GUIRLargeWin,LargeWinData,LareWinDataE-LargeWinData)
and it says:
Code: Error: Could not parse expression 'lda,1' (Invalid number). [zztemp.asm:46]
Error: Could not parse expression 'LareWinDataE-LargeWinData' (Invalid number). [zztemp.asm:46]
Is "LareWinDataE" supposed to be "LargeWinDataE"? It also sounds like there's a typo somewhere in those macros that I never use re: "lda,1" instead of "ld a,1".
Oops. It was a typo but a consistent one. As for the macro it says
Code: #define PushGUIStack(xx,yyyy,zzzz) ld a,xx \ ld hl,yyyy \ ld de,zzzz \ call PushGUIStack
Huh, that looks perfectly fine to me. :/ I might recommend not bothering with the macros; they've always been somewhat problematic.
But they're so much easier to use!
EDIT:
AHA! It happens if you call the macro instead of just putting the macro.

Ahhh, that makes perfect sense! Nice job figuring that out. Now I now to offer that solution to other people who run across the same problem in the future.
The GUIRButtonText has an OnClick pointer. Can one only click on a button, or is it possible to make something accept enter, other than having polling for key input?
Also, with the input box, it asks for a string. Is there a way to allocate X bytes?
Also Also, with the OnClick, it seems to freeze when I do click, any idea? I can post the code. There's also some kind of square character in the input box at the start. Aaand, is there a way to make an input text box read only?

No way other than using a MouseHook.

Can you clarify your question?

Did you remember to make call ResetAppPage the very very first command at the label the OnClick goes to? Did you remember to put a zero-terminator as the sole contents of the textbox?

Damn.

I guess the real question is how do I get the data back out after I put some stuff in it? I've got a label before the .db 0, but I'm not sure if it gets filled in from there or what.

Ah, it must be the ResetAppPage thing. I assume this was documented somewhere and I'm just bad at reading.

Yes.
And what about read-only textboxes?
Not so much with read-only textboxes, I'm afraid; use a GUIRRect and a GUIRText instead. And to get data back out you use
GUIFindFirst with
GUIFindNext or you use
GUIFindThis.
Ah, ok. The issue with the GUIRRext and the GUIRText is that I will then have to deal with the scrolling stuff, whereas a multi-line text box already does all that for me.

Ah, an excellent point. Assuming this is for the project we discussed, though, you just need to scroll up and down by a line, which is a hell of a lot easier that scrolling by character.
So I've got this chunk of code:
Code: Click:
call ResetAppPage
PopGUIStacks(4)
CloseGUIStack()
ret
My intuition is that this should be returning back to the shell, but it doesn't, it just freezes. There are four things on the stack, so it's not like it's trying to push something that doesn't exist. Any ideas?
