Re: Cheetah4.dll

Where can I get a copy of Cheetah2.dll? I've also waited and hoped for a guru to build an effective wrapper for DBF access. I attempted to use Purebasic some time ago to write Clipper type code, but finally gave up and switched to MiniGui (xHarbour). I would like to use the power of Purebasic ...

Charting - Line Charts

I'm in the process of rewriting some old systems with custom charts. I am experienced with hpgl programming, but need some purebasic "go bys" for code structure. I need to produce project control line charts (not pie or bar) at pixel levels, so need some detail examples with line drawing. I made the ...

Comtois?

or maybe even Comtois or Psychophanta

Thanks for the reference :D . As my interest is more in understanding some of the methods, their posts are very interesting.

Unfortunately, following a Comtois post leads me to:

I'm sure I'm not framing my question right. Just want to study graphics using basic rather than C++.

Since submitting the above post, I've been searching the internet and forums for PB/3-D scenerios. I expect that PB has the basic capability to serve as a learning platform, but I cannot find any detail documentation.

I also cannot find any useful graphics tutorials for a beginner to use with PB ...

Graphics 101

While I continue to slowly explore PB/Cheetah as a Clipper replacement (am satisfied with results so far - due to the the gracious help of forum experts! :D ), I would also like to explore animated graphics.

I use and enjoy Dream Aquarium and Sach's Marine Aquarium screensavers and would like to ...

Sorry, wasn't clear with my question. :oops:

I meant to ask about the disabling the ability to change the width of a column.

Thanks, Master of Grids. :D You have attacked a real "hole" in PB!

The first method would be to not enable column drag in the first place!

How is it enabled in ListIcon?

Obviously I'll just buy Egrid if I need to write something serious and avoid all the headaches. Am having a learning ...

Neat code :D :shock: :D

Is there any way to align the first displayed column to the start of the cell (like in Excel) when horizonal scrolling? So that the entire first cell is always shown?

and,

Is there any way to disable dragging the column?
