PureBasic Forums - English

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.

Regards

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.

Thanks for your help. I assume that you installed COMatePLUS first before opening "Demo_Sendkeys.pb". How did you do this? Where did you put "Demo_Sendkeys.pb" so that PureBasic found it?

I am trying to use COMatePLUS which has a help (.chm) file, but there is nothing in this to tell me where to extract the files to. If I try to run anything I get 'file not found' errors with generic path information. If I call XIncludeFile, where does PureBasic look for files? In the line ...

My apologies - I have discovered that the COMatePlus help file was blocked, not empty. On Windows 7, help files fail silently and appear to be empty. I find that one can read them by right-clicking and selecting 'unblock' in 'properties'.

COMatePlus has an empty help file. I don't know who the author is and there are no contact details on the nxSoftware website. Has anyone actually used this software? I would be grateful for any lead to instructions on calling ActiveX DLL's from Purebasic that someone unfamiliar with Windows COM can ...

Thanks - that pretty well shows that I could not do it - I haven't heard of any 'type library' and I am afraid I do not understand your code. From VBA in Word I can run a test program I was provided with, which I can understand.
