Great set of videos. I've only watched a few so far but can see I'll be able to learn a lot from them.
Thanks for putting all the work in.

Re: Case sensitive "does file exist ?"
Hi,
Demivec & TI-994A - Thanks for your code. They both work well for me and provide a new approach I hadn't thought of so that helps me learn for the future.
Rashad & Keya - Thanks for adding the missing logic to my code. My app already collects the actual filenames on the disk into a structure ...

FileSize() seems to be the normal way to go. However, that appears to be case insenstive so that FileSize(C:\foo.txt) will return the ...

Re: ClearGadgetItems() doesn't clear first row in EditorGadg
Hi Lord,
I gave your code a go and can confirm that the first line isn't cleared but the later lines are (PB 5.42 and Win 10). Hence, it appears that events are being handled okay and this is an oddity in the EditorGadget itself (presumably the Delay(500) is for the effect to be visible).

Vast improvement although there seems to be some corruption of the ticked tickboxes, especially when enlarging horizontally ...mestnyi wrote:

Re: How to do flickerfree resizing of gadgets?
Would also really be happy about a solution.
I checked some programs; for example PowerGrep from JustGreatSoftware.
The program has a complex GUI and... it flickers...
Maybe a general windows problem.
Even Excel 2010 in Win7; standard win32 controls are flickering.

Re: Form-Designer generates wrong code for String Gadgets?
Hi Polo,
I always use your Form Designer for building screens in PB - it's brilliant and easy to use for playing around with screen designs to figure out how I want things to look and work. This, along with TI-994A's tutorials on event handling have really got me going in using PB.

Re: Strip/replace double or multiple spaces with single
Yep, I think you're right on both counts. I think I'll investigate further and update my routine.
As always, I'm really pleased to be able to improve my coding from the feedback of more experience folks such as yourself. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.
Cheers,
Gadget

Re: Strip/replace double or multiple spaces with single
Hi,
Not ASM and uses PureBasic strings. So, not fast but what I normally use is:
Procedure.s ReplaceMultipleSpaces(OldText.s)
; Returns the string passed to this function but with all multiple spaces reduced to a single space
Protected NewText.s = OldText
If NewText <> ""
; Keep looking ...

Hi Marc_256,
You could try the following link which takes you to old and current versions of adobe reader. Play with the "go up to a higher level" and you'll find access to other adobe programs too.

Re: SQL query hellp needed please
Hi Fangbeast,
Been quite a while since I did any (basic) SQL programming but I do recall SELECT DISTINCT being used to return unique records.
Hope this helps,
Gadget
