Why does SDL2 correctly detect one controller with the correct name "Xbox One S Controller"?

When connecting an Xbox One controller via bluetooth it's seen as two controllers:
How do we fix that?

I tried working with SDL2 but I couldn't get it to read the GUID of the controller. If I had the GUID I could remember configurations every time the controller is connected. But I couldn't work out how to do that.

Hi Kenmo,
I still have the SDL2 wrapper but I would prefer if PureBasic had a good library built in, because I'm not so good at working with external libraries. I will take a look at your SDL3 wrapper, thank you.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't know that pad meant access to all of the controls.

The current controller/joystick support reads 3 analogue axes, but all modern controllers have 6 (left stick, right stick and triggers). Also there are more buttons I think.

I am using a full screen canvas so I can capture the mouse dragging. Unless there is some other way of capturing dragging?

Is there any way of capturing mouse button down (not click) on the window without a gadget?

It's OK, my entire code is ~5000 lines.

I think the problem is I am drawing a full screen canvas then drawing all my gadgets on top of that.

I will try to do it another way. And also I will try to draw to an image and paste the image on the window.

Procedure WindowResize()
Protected width.i = WindowWidth(0)
Protected height.i = WindowHeight(0)
StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(0))
Box(0, 0, 130, 300, RGB(200, 200, 200))
StopDrawing()
ResizeGadget(1, 150, 0, Width-150, height)
StartDrawing(CanvasOutput(0))
Box(0, 0, 130, 50, RGB(255, 0, 0 ...

I'm making custom gadgets using drawing functions like Box() and Line() etc. When I resize parts of the application they flickers as they are being redrawn as the mouse moves. Also resizing the entire window they flicker. I could create a sample if you really want it but it would take some time.

What's the best way to stop flickering in a GUI application? Can it be double buffered and vsynced?

Why is my application icon bigger than all the other icons? Why is the PureBasic icon bigger than everything else for that matter?

I've been using this code:


Procedure.i isDarkModeLinux()
Protected boolVal.i, *Settings
*Settings = gtk_settings_get_default_()
If *Settings
g_object_get_(*Settings, "gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme", @boolVal);
ProcedureReturn boolVal
EndIf
EndProcedure


But recently it's been giving ...
