Appreciate some direction as to what most of you professionals do when
passing some limited variables to another form. A simple example
would be passing the location of a second form. I could use a
constructor which I think of as parameters attached to the creation of
my New form (parameters) or I could use "properties " as I have learned
to use with classes. Some advice please.

My personal preference is to use properties in the secondary form to
pass data to it from the calling form.
Thanks Joe... this lets me concentrate on me using added classes to
avoid my historical use of globals and modules and maybe learn to use
them more often.

If you ever expect to move to C#.NET, you will be forced to give up on
global variables.

Joe,
Rereading my comment to you I see some lack of clarity - I did mean
that I am going to avoid the globals and already have recoded a couple
of older programs I wrote for myself using "properties " (fields) in a
class and dumped the module.
Thanks again, Ed

A lot of users at my workplace use different screen resolutions, and I build
apps to use 1680 x 1050 pixels res by default. But some users are using 800

I used to write code in Java a few years ago (2005), and you could stretch a

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
