Updated to Version 1.6 - August 18, 2017

• Fixed: Toggling the menu descriptions would double the Trig menu commands
• Fixed:  Toggling menu descriptions works also on AutoCalc menu
• Fixed: Multiplication was not processed directly against parenthesis; (2+2)2=42; now (2+2)2=8
• Fixed: Clipboard was erased or replaced when the window was activated. 
• Fixed: Clicking on the answer copies it to the clipboard the first time.
• Fixed: Sometimes e would not render
• Fixed: Now e is reserved for Euler's Number and can't be accidentally assigned as a variable
• Fixed: Now you can't type = in the equation unless you are assigning variables with :=
• Fixed: Removed conflict between min command and the math function min at start of equation
• Added: Dialogue for (Advanced Options) with key command options
• Added Option in Advanced Options to set the number of decimal places
• Added: Now the Options menu displays the number of decimal places
• Fixed: Decimal Places now displays the correct limit in the answer
• Fixed: Now the menu item that toggles decimal places automatically changes the answer
• Added: Option in Advanced Options to set Max Decimal Places
• Added: Max Decimal Places now shows in the menu next to Decimal Places

Thanks for the kind words and for your time to test for me!  If you have any ideas for features just say so and I'll see what I can do. 

Right now my only regret is that I can't fix the part that has to do with the conversion of unicode characters - and that's because I don't have the source files for the scintilla dll that supplies the syntax colouring. Another fellow helped me with that and we are out of touch now.  But if I ever figure it out, I'll fix it.

tomos - there are two ways that I thought of as "normal"
First, if you right click on the main window, you get the entire menu (this is in the help file).
Second, and I don't think I mentioned this in the help file, in fact, if you type the word hotkey in calculor, it will launch the dialogue.
I'll update the help file, too.

Thanks for testing for me - I can reproduce that and I know what the problem is;  Hopefully I can get it fixed today.  I never thought to try selecting the option from the tray menu... (doh!).

Salve, all!  Okay, I've added a user-chosen global hotkey.  Maybe someone can try it out for me?

The next update will have a global hotkey; I'd publish it now, but I'm serving on a boys' camp.  When I get back I'll publish it.

If anyone is interested in helping me with Calculor, I would like to fix the conversion for unicode characters, but to do that I would need to reconstruct my dll that has scintilla in it.  A friend built the dll for me based on my needs, but we are out of communication now and I don't have the source code.  So, basically, if you wanted to help me with this, I would be asking you to help me build a new dll for my scintilla.

Okay, I've updated the application - the new version works properly now (I checked with that atan function).

« Last post by BGM on July 12, 2017, 08:53 AM »

Doh!  Okay, I figured out what went wrong.
The underlying math function (autohotkey) returns the value of atan in radians.  Instead of converting radians to degrees, I converted the radians to radians, which is why such a small number was returned....

I'm glad you said something; apparently I did that to all 6 trigonmetric functions.  Hopefully I didn't mess you up somewhere else.

Okay, update coming up.

Oh, I'm sorry!  I guess I did something wrong... (I never had any beta testers)
The tangent ought to be 0.448583

I'll look and see what Calculor is doing wrong.  Thanks for posting.

daanvink - ah, you are right.  Strange - okay, I'll try to fix that - thanks for pointing that out; I do appreciate it.  I didn't realize, actually.  You get one thing to work and something else stops working! 
Okay, I'll fix it and post back.  Who uses log anyway?

Hi,
Beautiful lean program. However

[Select]

sin(anynumber) = ...
sin(pi) = ...
log(1) = ...

RunningWindows 10
What is the unit of angles? Where to set?
Regards, Daan.

Take a look at the explanations in the help file.
Calculor's Log function is always base10.
For sin, you enter the angle of the opposite

Okay, I fixed the "Sorry Bub" message that comes with the missing colourfile.  This also fixes the syntax colouring in the math area.

That Help & Manual is an A-1, excellent application.  I have a licensed copy and I use it to make all the documentation for the apps I write - even the ones for NANY.

Okay, so I think my scilexer.dll was compiled not-unicode.  It will take me awhile to figure out how to fix this... So, for now don't use it to get unicode chars, I guess.

colour file list?  uh, hold on, let me see.
unicode in the calc window - doh!  you are right. In fact, neither side is handling that... 
a global hotkey - yes, I've been wanting that too; I'll add it sometime when I can.

And yes I am from the future, so I will let you know when these were fixed.

NANY 2017 Entry Information

Application Name	Calculor
Version	1.9
Short Description	A powerful, easy-to-use calculator that delivers answers as you type.
Supported OSes	Tested on Windows 7
Web Page	Help Pages and Screenshots
Download Link	Download Calculor
System Requirements	Only works on Windows
Version History	A Link to the Version History
Author	Link to Author's Profile page on Stack Exchange

Description
I always wanted a calculator like this.  It has a tiny GUI and lots of features and is easy to use.  I like to see what I did to get the answer. 

Features

• Tiny GUI
• Easy-to-work-with, live calculation as you type
• Trigonometric and Algebraic Math Functions
• Hex to Decimal, Binary to Decimal (and vice-versa) functions
• Character to Ascii and Unicode (and vice-versa) functions
• Round Fractions, Convert Answers to Fraction
• Descriptive menus
• Global hotkey
• Recent Equations Menu
• Memorized Equations Menu
• Tray Functionality
• Complete Help File

Planned Features
What features are you planning to implement in the future?  Well, probably I'll fix bugs...
Right now the character-to-unicode-character feature doesn't work for most unicode characters...

Screenshots

Please visit the documentation page for more images.

Usage
Installation
How do you install and run the Application for the first time?  Well, you just extract it to a folder and run the exe file.

Using the Application
A brief description of how a user will use the Application. What tips does a user need to get going?  Just extract the files and run the exe.  The little Calculor window will appear and you simply enter your math.

Uninstallation
How does a user uninstall the Application? Just exit the application and delete all the files.

Known Issues
Are there any issues that users should know about?  If the formula you enter is too elaborate you may get some strange answers.  Hopefully I'll work these out over time.  Right now the character-to-unicode-character feature doesn't work for most unicode characters...  (This has to do with the way the scilexer.dll was compiled, and the fellow who helped me with this has flown the coop, so I don't know if I'll ever fix this or not; but I'd like to.)
