Thanks, this was really off putting

In PureBasic i am trying to do some calculations to determine the height of something but for some reason the following returns zero, any thoughts?

Calculation: (100 / 498) * 491 = 98.59437751
PureBasic: Debug (100 / 498) * 491 = 0

This is very strange to me and am not sure what is going wrong :?

Oops, that will be it, nice catch!

Fellow people of the internet,

As some of you may know, i bought PureBasic some time ago but never really have done much with it so i wanted to make something this weekend to give back to the community.

Using the awesome vector library available in the latest update to PureBasic, i have created a ...

Hello,

Great work on the JSON library but feel it could benefit from a few more features as it very much is cumbersome to work with without knowing the structure of the document. One of my suggestions would be to allow for more options to be passed to the pretty print function via the use of a new ...

I would suggest to keep as much of your protection online as it is more secure and less likely to be attacked than a piece of software as you have a certain level of protection and control over it's distribution.

P.S - a bug is an unexpected behavior so how to you plan to introduce bugs without ...

Thanks, i will give this a go and report back on my progress.

I appear to have found myself in need of help in figuring out how retrieve the contents of a nested json map.


{
"total": 2,
"jake": {"gender": "male", "age": 26},
"jane": {"gender": "female", "age": 24}
}


The data above is an example of the kind of structure i could be dealing with.

How ...

Awesome, thanks a lot for everyone's help.

I have read they can be nasty, but this seems to be the only way to monitor and respond to mouse movement that isn't bound the the currently running application.

Your code works fine and now I understand what is not working, you are registering a local hook (application window) where as I am trying to register a global one (operating system) which isn't working.

Forgot the mention that I accidentally imported the DLL which obviously wont work.

Just discovered PureBasic doesn't compile it's temp exe to the working directory so it couldn't find the DLL needed. That hurdle is overcome but the function doesn't return anything to the console, like the code ...

Import "hook.lib"
RegisterHook(type, callback, instance=0, thread=0)
EndImport

Procedure HookMouse(nCode, wParam, lParam)
Debug nCode
EndProcedure

RegisterHook(#WH_MOUSE, @HookMouse()) ; problem happens here!

The problem happens when I try and call the functions defined in the import.

Do you need to use polink.exe to have a standalone lib?

The one compiled with the DLL requires the DLL which is giving me the invalid machine type error.

I have tried creating a DLL that registers and unregisters windows event hooks, but when compiling and calling the library i always get an error.

ProcedureDLL RegisterHook(type, callback, instance=0, thread=0)
ProcedureReturn SetWindowsHookEx_(type, callback, instance, thread)
EndProcedure ...
