For those that care... those that don't... never mind.

Thanks. But it does look like I'm getting the info I need now. Thanks.

Ok... I'm not sure if it was the initkeyboard() stuff that was stopping it from working or the examinekeyboard... or... but anyway I am recieving events now.

Now I just need to figure out how to interpret the keyboard events... Which seem to be 256,257,258... But what key? That's the question. :)

hrm... Yes I do but I also have InitKeyboard() and InitSprite() prior to that call.

I'll do a bit of experimenting here... Thanks for your test.

If I have the following code... Where I create a windowed screen...

window = OpenWindow(#pb_any, 0,0, DesktopWidth(0), DesktopHeight(0), #PB_Window_BorderLess,"")

If window = 0
End
EndIf

screen = OpenWindowedScreen(WindowID(), 0, 0, DesktopWidth(0), DesktopHeight(0), 1, 0, 0)

If screen = 0 ...

I want to do a directory listing of multiple patterns at once... possible?

In vb you would normally ask in a file requester for "*.mpg|*.avi|*.mov" if I remember correctly. Is this possible in pb or do I need to roll my own handler for that?

I found it... stupid mistake. I encapsulated the getcurrentdir_ call into a procedure and forgot to actually pass it back out of the procedure. So the MDB_Connect command never connected... THUS hMDB never got set and I never even dropped into the query.

Smack me a few times. I deserve it.

Also ...

Maybe you can help me while you are at it... I'm using your library and have the following code...


MDB_Create(curdir+"SMP")
hMDB=MDB_Connect(curdir,"SMP","","")

If hMDB
qry$ = "CREATE TABLE Prefs([id] autoincrement, [GUIX1] long, [GUIX2] long, [GUIY1] long, [GUIY2] long,"
qry$ + "[VIDX1 ...

Guess it doesn't matter much... the download is broken.

Can I use DSNLess connections? I won't use a database command-pack where I have to configure a DSN. It's a useless waste. Absolutely nothing I create in VB/C++/.NET uses DSNs, nor should it.

windows version........... when?

Been a while since I've wandered in here and remembered hearing rumors of purebasic 4 a while back and wondered what the status was on that, what was being considered for additions, etc. Just curious...

Kanati

not to run linux... but I've used it to run dos for old games... But it don't work nearly as well as DoxBox does for that. Dosbox not only emulates a machine but you can speed up and slow down the cpu. I think it emulates a 386 to start with but you can make it go as fast as your cpu can handle ...

I'm quite partial to iconcool myself. Don't know what everyone else suggested but that's my choice.

The wrapper thing means that you cannot simply wrap PBs commands, create a dll for use in (for example) blitzbasic and distribute it for use by other people in their programs.

If you want to wrap the entire language for your OWN use in a dll with blitzbasic that is alright. It's only when you ...
