Since 6.10 Purebasic has started static linking the MS runtime, as previously it linked with the MSVCRT.dll that ships with windows. This blog post has details about this https://www.purebasic.fr/blog/?p=538 I read the blog entry back in November, obviously forgot all about 6.10 being affected by i...

I have not tried any other betas than 6.10 beta 8 so I can't tell if this problem is specific to beta 8. I have a program compiled using 6.04 LTS to 153KB in size. In 6.10 beta 8 this now compiles to 359KB. Using both C and ASM backend compilers produce similar filesize results. Is this normal? Ted....

I note in PureBasic 6.04 LTS there is a new DLL protection feature in compiler options. The English translation in the documentation is not well worded. From the wording in the documentation, my understanding, is the default search directory of system DLL's is restricted to the System32 folder. Plea...

Thank you for the info and links. Good to read this change is coming! I see it being an advantage in the long term as it may help to speed up development of PureBasic and have a quicker turn around introducing and supporting new hardware and OS features...

Is this is a fact or a wish list comment? If fact where is this information to be found on PB's roadmap!

Anyone else noticed a change in the font/scaling size for the tab and panel contents in the latest beta (not tried b1)? The font appears too small compared to 5.70 which, seemed fine to me.

Thanks for the DPI Aware feature. Any thoughts about PerMonitor Awareness? It can be set in the manifest, too. <dpiAware>True/PM</dpiAware> <dpiAwareness>PerMonitorV2, PerMonitor</dpiAwareness> High-DPI Scaling Improvements for Desktop Applications in the Windows 10 Creators Update (1703) I'm going...

Apologies for not being clear. If I have a preference file that can be edited by the user with a new custom key value the result from ReadPreferenceString is of an unknown string length. Where I will be using some of the strings they need to be, at some point limited to a maximum string length. I do...

Is there a max string length for ReadPreferenceString? Is it possible to work out the string length before ReadPreferenceString, without having to manually count string length ahead, so that I can dynamically allocate required string size/space? I can opt to either use a predefined size, though it i...

I haven't been able to do much with PB's owner-drawn CreatePopupImageMenu without messing it up. I have been able to easily use the standard CreatePopupMenu to better deploy DPI aware icons in to the menu items. Whilst there are still a number of limitations and nuances using this method it seems to...

PB does not currently support high resolution icons for DPI aware applications for use in it's own image menus?

I know this is an old topic of a few years, the dead never die! Just wanted to say thanks for this and to find out if the wrapper was ever completed?

Also does anyone have the gdiplus.chm file used here please?
