OCX control documentation
A bit of a long shot, but does anyone know where I can get some documentation (ideally, the help file itself) on the Pinnacle WebWorkZ graph control (Graphs32.ocx)? In particular, I need to know the range of values for the .GraphStyle property. Working on code that's 20 years old is not an enjoyable experience, so no comments on this aspect of the situation are necessary. Thanks in advance for any help.

 * If you can't find the docs, may I suggest you write a piece of test code that tries various values out ? If you go beyond the supported range, you will either get an error, which will then define the range nicely for you, or it will wrap around, and then you can hopefully detect when it has done so, to define the allowed range in that manner.  I've done this type of thing a lot, when working on undocumented code a lot older than that.  StuRat (talk) 17:58, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Music player/organizer with lyric-holding capabilities
I'm looking for a free (as in beer) program with the ability to play and organize my audio files. I'm particularly interested in being able to mass edit the metadata and organize my collection and, if possible, hold the lyrics to the songs within the files themselves rather than within some external database (as with iTunes).

 * Does this help? --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 05:54, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Amarok meets your requirements as best any program can. It re-organizes files if you ask it to put it in your playlist. It updates information within the file itself, assuming the file has the ability to retain the information. That includes lyrics. It goes much further in that it can automatically download lyrics, among many other things. It even has embedded Wikipedia articles in the GUI. 209.149.113.4 (talk) 13:05, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I'll give that a try. I'm assuming you mean Amarok and not Amarok? :-) Matt Deres (talk) 02:15, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
