Progress Report: Saturday, 0816

In the last two hours, I've accomplished:

• created progress bar for Proth tester (implementation of GJSieve in MuPuPriNT)
• corrected minor problems with filename inconsistencies
• trimmed some useless code
• fixed comments to actually reflect the code they're next to

Including last night, the following has been accomplished:

• IsItPrime? is no longer limited by unsigned longs and instead takes its input as a string converted to an mpz_t variable,  thus allowing input of very large values of n
• Same thing for the Pythagorean tester - also, n can be extremely large here because there is no power function called
• Removed some useless buttons and re-sized the windows so they don't look awkward
• Deleted about 500 lines of code used for debugging the window procedure about two weeks ago

 To do today:

• Remove the remaining "useless" controls - that is, buttons that do nothing, edit boxes that display nothing, menu items with no pointers, etc
• As a direct result, the GJSieve standalone will be updated to version 1.5.6
• Determine why initializing common controls in MuPuPriNT fails

Specifically, I want to / am trying to:

• create SysLink controls in a separate window that pops up when a certain menu item is selected
• create a progress bar control that at least sort of tells you how much work is done
• and none of this can be done without figuring out why INITCOMMONCONTROLSEX won't work

Stay tuned.
