Hi,

I appear to me making progress with this, the following unfinished code seams to work:

#LVM_SETCOLUMNORDERARRAY=4154

Hi,

I am trying to find a way of retrieving/setting the order of the columns in a ListIcon Gaget, but I need some help.

Can someone tell me how I use these commands:

LVM_GETCOLUMNORDERARRAY
LVM_SETCOLUMNORDERARRAY

I can't figure out how to send/retrieve the required information.

Thanks for any ...

That's great news Fred

PB keeps getting better with each release, keep up the good work.

I found a way round my problem by using:

ExtTextOut (Windows Gdi32.lib)

This command lets you output text using a clipping zone, it would be nice if PB could add an easier to use version of this for people who either can't, or don't wand to access the Windows OS.

TextLength only returns the length of the string, it won't help you to restrict how much is printed.

Maybe the answer would be if PB allowed you to set clipping zones on the screen, that way you could restrict text and graphics within that area. Locomotive BASIC on the Amstrac CPC had a similar ...

Would it be possible to add a feature to the DrawText command so you could restrict your string to a given length in pixels.

For example:

DrawText(Text$,Length)

This way you could restrict your string to say 80 pixels, much more accurate than using the Mid command.

lol

Thanks for the help.

Does anyone know what system command to use to Shutdown or Restart Windows (compatible with all versions).

I need to do this from full screen mode without any Windows Dialog Boxes appearing.

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the welcome guys :D

Thanks for the info GreenGiant, the icon info is what I had in mind but with the ability to display a bitmap image vertically down the side of a menu like EmuLoader does.

I was going to use sprites so I could rotate the text for display on a vertical arcade monitor ...

Hi,

I'm new to PB having migrated from Blitz+ and am finding the language to be superior in every way, however I would like to see the following two items added:

1) The ability to print text vertically.

2) A function to paste bitmap images within menus.

thanks for looking
