[Dude]

Code: Select all

Added: GIF decoder support

Nice! Thanks for this update; it looks very useful.

Code: Select all

RecieveHTTPMemory(), RecieveHTTPFile()

Wrong spelling. Should be: ReceiveHTTPMemory(), ReceiveHTTPFile().

[ts-soft]

thanks.

Nice new funtions!

[HanPBF]

Thanks a lot!!!

My fav:
Added: #PB_Canvas_Container support to have a container behaviour for canvas

Someone able to open a forum topic what that does mean?
Should make possible really great things in user interface, shouldn't it???


Thanks again PureBasic team!

[Marc56us]

Happy!

(KCC will be very very happy too, and for proxy)

- Added: GIF decoder support

But how to use it ? (nothing in french help)

I just tried to add UseGIFImageDecoder() (autocomplet know it) in my viewer projetc
but when run:

Code: Select all

UseGIFImageDecoder() is not a function, array, list, map or macro.

Edit: Help is present in english help file (but without example)

[TI-994A]

Thank you very much, Team Fantaisie!

A true greatest-hits collection.

[HanPBF]

Added: #PB_EventType_Resize support for PanelGadget(), ContainerGadget(), CanvasGadget() and ScrollAreaGadget()

What does this mean?

Resized by whom or what???
Dialog Library?

SplitterGadget?

[djes]

Wow, it's the KCC's birthday or what ? Thank you Fred !

[HanPBF]

Changed: removed 'define.b' syntax to change default type as it could create hard to find bugs.

Yes! Good idea!

(Force/global setting: EnableExplicit; even some examples are tricky to understand...)

[Fred]

Here is a small code sample for GIF:

Code: Select all

UseGIFImageDecoder()

Filename$ = OpenFileRequester("Select a GIF file", "", "GIF Files|*.gif", 0)
If Filename$ And LoadImage(0, Filename$)

  OpenWindow(0, 100, 100, ImageWidth(0), ImageHeight(0), "")
  
  CanvasGadget(0, 0, 0, ImageWidth(0), ImageHeight(0))
  AddWindowTimer(0, 1, 150)
  
  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    
    If Event = #PB_Event_Timer
      SetImageFrame(0, Frame)
      
      Frame+1
      If Frame >= ImageFrameCount(0) : Frame = 0 : EndIf
      
      If StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(0))
        DrawImage(ImageID(0), 0, 0)
        StopDrawing()
      EndIf
    EndIf
    
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Else
  Debug "Impossible to load the file: " + Filename$
EndIf

And a sample code for canvas container:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 220, 220, "Canvas container example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
  
  CanvasGadget(0, 10, 10, 200, 200, #PB_Canvas_Container)
    ButtonGadget(1, 10, 10, 80, 30, "Hello")
  CloseGadgetList()
    
  Repeat 
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    
    If Event = #PB_Event_Gadget And EventGadget() = 0
        If EventType() = #PB_EventType_LeftButtonDown Or (EventType() = #PB_EventType_MouseMove And GetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Canvas_Buttons) & #PB_Canvas_LeftButton)
          If StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(0))
            x = GetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Canvas_MouseX)
            y = GetGadgetAttribute(0, #PB_Canvas_MouseY)
            Circle(x, y, 10, RGB(Random(255), Random(255), Random(255)))
            StopDrawing()
          EndIf
        EndIf
      EndIf    
    
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Here is a small code sample for GIF:

Thank's Fred.
This sample you provide work fine

And I have no message error if I do a single UseGIFImageDecoder() in an empty program, so error is on my project. I will investigate my error.



Edit: found
I was working in Project mode and compiler(s) options was set to use 5.51
Sorry

Now, set to 5.60b1: all work fine. Happy
I will be able to modify old projects that used external elements

Canvas container !

This looking very cool

[Keya]

WOWZERS there's some real gems in this update Fred, brilliant work as always!!! THANKYOU especially from me for adding compression level support so we can choose between fast vs strong, super cool oh and #Color constants! and email name format!! and GIF!!!

[walbus]

On the weekend i must make a look for the canvas container

I think, it is combinable with BucketFill advanced for canvas
http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 12&t=66927

Work this fine, this is a very mighty new feature, for creating endless cool new other features

[HanPBF]

Hello Walbus!

I think the same about #PB_Canvas_Container.

For me the gadgets where always limited compared to what we see today in web.
And RSBasic.de has a great web page with extensions to gadgets.
But that's all very tricky.

Drawing once own gadgets with CanvasGadget completely, including handling of text, etc. is far too complex.

So maybe #PB_Canvas_Container will bring some really good style improvements!
Which are now also easier to handle!
