[SOLVED] DebugLevel ; Can someone explain?

Set the current debug level for the 'Debug' message.

That doesn't tell me anything. Maybe that should include a working example?

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key



Is it built-into the IDE?

Now it makes sense for you to try it, since I did it with a black design style.

If you are interested in how this is done, then unzip and open the file: win32\popup\css\Header.css
I made a text replacement using a regular expression:

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key


I zipped up my Help folder and uploaded it where you can grab it. It is the complete folder so just download and unzip it directly into your main PB folder(s)

This is what I have working well here on my Win 11 Pro machine.

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key



If you can't find it and would like a working copy of the win32.hlp file compatible on Win 11 and various releases of pureBasic for Windows, I'm sure there is a way I could upload it somewhere for you to grab it.

I have win32.hlp, but not WinHlp32.exe


Oh, sorry, I don't read so well. I ...

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key



I was not asking for assistance or workarounds

2. I wanted to try Win32.hlp, but the system says you need to install updates, as WinHlp32.exe is bundled for Win8.1 only. We've had updates banned for a couple years, and yes updates were throwing off the system settings, I had to disable them ...

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key



I was not asking for assistance or workarounds

1. Why do you consider it a workaround? This is a common path when you write a program that performs complex actions for you. I don't think it's a workaround.

Is it built-into the IDE? I don't think so, and so to provide the same net result it ...

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key



Sorry AZJIO, but that is a very lame workaround. Look up above for the practical workaround solution provided by BarryG. It does exactly what I was asking for - no copy/paste BS.

If it worked for you, that's fine with me, you don't have to contrast the possibilities as one good and one bad. It ...

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key



what all that means

If you have a help file in CHM format, then you can assign the Alt+F1 hotkey to launch the tool, which will open the help file and paste the selected word into the search field.

Re: API Help on API Keyword using F1 help key



The IDE already supports this. Just put "Win32.hlp" in the "Help" folder and pressing F1 on an API command will open it in that doc. ;)


Hi BarryG: Tried that but it's not working. At least not working in 5.40 or 6.20 PB release.

Hi AZJIO and thanks for the post, but I'm unable to read between the lines well enough to figure out what all that means -- It is not topical API help "built-into" the PB IDE which was my original request.
