PureBasic Forums - English

I am using Windows 10 Pro version 10.0.19045 Build 19045 on an x64-based PC.

All of them. The layout is different. In the HTML Help file the left window has tabs "Atomic Web Server.pb", "2DDrawingAlpha.pb", and "Screen3DRequester.pb" The right window has "Procedures", "Explorer", "Form" and "Project". There are no menus.
When I launch PureBasic I see a single window with ...

I don't know how these work. Are my descriptions not clear enough? My point is that what I see on screen is different from what is shown in the HTML Help file.

I will try to attach pictures:
This is the actual interface:

and this is what appears in the help file:

I have updated PureBasic to 6.21. I notice that in the HTML Help file the IDE shown is different from the one that comes up on my computer. The one in the Help file has tabs, but the one on my computer screen has two sections one above the other, but no tabs. Is the HTML Help file out of date? It is ...

Thanks - the updating has worked OK.

I cannot find any info how to update PureBasic for Windows to the current version. The only download I can find is the free version, but I bought PureBasic in November 2013. I have an invoice but no registration code. The invoice no. is very long and uncopyable - will write it out if there is any ...

I would need to know where to find purebasic_compilation0.exe, or which file contains the alleged Trojan.

When trying to compile a program testing COMate Plus, Kaspersky antivirus reports that there is a trojan
"HEUR:Trojan.Win32.Generic" in purebasic_compilation0.exe. I am running the current version of Purebasic on Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit).

Is COMate Plus still supported or available? The web page www.purecoder.net/comate.htm is no more.

I have received a notification that a new post has appeared in the "Calling Activex dll's" thread, but I cannot find it. A search for author "angeliazhong", the alleged author, turns up nothing.

I haven't been able to find any reference to a PureBasic TypeLib Explorer.exe.
How long did it take you to reach a point where you had a working understanding
of calling functions in ActiveX dll's from PureBasic?

My guess that "oWScript\Invoke(x)" is equivalent to Visual Basic's "Call .x" appears to be correct in that I can get one of the commands exposed by the DLL to work. But only one command - the others do not work. So there seems to be a partial connection. I expect for non-experts it is best to stick ...

Coming back to this, I am reading the example code for COMatePLus to see if I can eventually translate Visual Basic code, which I have, into PureBasic code for accessing a third-party ActiveX dll. I see "Define.COMateObject" - is COMateObject a type? The PureBasic manual seems to indicate that what ...

Nevertheless, Luis's post should be a useful summary for those who are short of time.
