by [Michael Jacobson] This application displays [RSS] news feeds in folders. Each of these items can be clicked and the corresponding webpage displayed in the browser. '''NOTE:''' This application is MsWindows only as it uses [optcl] to embed MSIE as the web browser. It is based on code from [WippleWobble - A Mini Web Browser (for Windows)] and [A little XML browser]. [http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jakeforce/RssPoint.jpg] To download the current version, packaged as a [starkit], use this link [http://mywebpages.comcast.net/jakeforce/RssPoint.kit].

In tree, paint new posts blue, and visited ones purple ---- [male] - June 24th, 2004: The last version, downloaded June 24th in the morning (GMT) behaves a bit odd, when started the first time. * the window is very small and seems to be arranged wrongly * the tree is not shown and there is only a chance to change the panes by clicking and dragging in the status bar * the vertical scrollbar of the tree don't work and don't even draws its contents on the display. It shows the contents of the last window shown before raising RssPoint to the top. After closing and restarting the application seems to behave normal, but the tree is always not shown, because the tree pane has always the width 0. It looks like not having default values, when started the first time on a new system and not having registry values to work with! A second thing - is it possible to bind more key events to the tree, like , , and to move page wise and to the top or the bottom of the tree? ---- [Category Application] | [Category Internet]
