IDEA: the most basic screen ruler imaginable

<< < (2/3) > >>

app103:
Renegade's ruler requires the .NET framework installed. Make sure you have that first, if you plan on running .NET applications.

Personally, I happen to like his quite a bit and I wish he would finish it. :-*

.NET runtimes can downloaded from here.

garbanzo:
thanks for the tip, but i have .NET installed. i got the big pack - 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 - and still get an error saying .NET isn't installed. one would assume 3.5 would be recursive and contain all previous versions, but it appears that isn't the case?

anyway maybe i have to go get 1.0 as well. i chopped up my XP with nlite and i must have removed the basic version...

EDIT

i installed .NET 1.0 SP3 redist, and i still get an error, so i had to get .NET 1.1

how many of these idiotic things are there?

anyway i got it working in the end. and it seems to be about the same as the rest. it lets me measure rectangles. horizontal and vertical. nothing more.

i just want to draw a line on the screen and see how long it is. that would be most useful. surely there is something out there?

 :) Try SmallMeasure!

It's a simple screen ruler. Just move the two "corners" to measure the distance.
When the mousebutton is down, you can use the arrow keys for fine grain movement.

if one waits patient enough, Skrommel will appear bearing coding snacks. :)
