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 ...

How do you detect a keypress inside an editor? Or how do you detect that the text inside the editor has changed? Preferably something cross platform.

How do you get a list of installed fonts crossplatform?

I think you can disregard this. The settings are configured in the installer software.

I made an installer for my application and then installed it for all users. Apparently this means the application cannot write to the hard disk because the application only has read access to the folder it was installed in. How do I set this up so the application can write to the folder? Windows 11 ...

I'm using 6.20

Here is what I'm talking about:

I may not have been clear, I'm trying to remove all rich text formatting from the editor gadget, but not having any luck.
