PureBasic Forums - English

Hello!

With PureBasic going Unicode-Exclusive, I've been looking into interesting ways to utilize the massive character set that is Unicode. While this a bit limited on Windows+Console as Unicode is kind of a gray-area there, there are quite a few possibilities from "Ascii"-Art to something like a ...

Give this a try :)

Quick and Dirty fix to prevent the hook from calling the second time while swapping a key, could be better:
Global SkipHook.b=#False

Procedure _HookCallBack(iCode, wParam, *hk.KBDLLHOOKSTRUCT)
If Not SkipHook
Protected vKey=*hk\vkCode
Select wParam
Case #WM_KEYDOWN:Debug Str(vKey)+" ▼"
Select ...

P.S. Since this is swapping 2 keys back and fourth in a mirror, there is an issue of somewhat of a 'feedback loop' effect even if up or down are only pressed for a split-second:

I don't know the answer to the question about modifying the pointer specifically, but here is a basic little example that might help. What should happen, is the [Up] And [Down] Arrow Keys will be reversed! (Up=Down, Down=Up, etc.)

The key to it I found was to return a non-zero (1) when you need to ...

Edit- Didn't see my post was a basically a duplicate.

Hi Kwai,
I have been working on writing some keyboard input stuff myself lately so it is fresh in my mind, maybe I can help or learn something myself.

My use may be a little different, I'm keeping global track of modifier keys being up/down like CTRL/ALT/SHIFT/WIN and doing it at the keydown/keyup ...

Nice, looks kind of similar to what I'm using, colors a little softer though.

Are you able to compile/run/debug right out of N++ or Akelpad?
I've considered trying other editors and playing with the syntax ...

Amazing what they try to pass as legitimate software these days...

Make a copy of the code so we can use it for screenshots

Probably been done in the past, but I thought it seemed like a novel idea. Share your current theme/layout/fonts/coloring/shortcuts/ for the PB IDE !

Interested to see what everyone else here is staring at at all day and night ;)

Typing "startupinfoex" into Google spits out https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winbase/ns-winbase-startupinfoexa as the very first result, at least for me. Following the links on the two parameters you can directly get all the information needed...

Hi All,

Happy Holidays. Was searching for info on STARTUPINFOEX structure and the following ProcThreadAttribute Kernel32 calls, but couldn't find anything. After some tinkering I got it working, hope someone else finds it useful.

I like the idea of using StringField() for this, didn't think of that.


The whole thing minimalist:

Procedure.s StringBetween(String.s, StartString.s, EndString.s)
String = StringField(String, 2, StartString)
ProcedureReturn StringField(String, 1, EndString)
EndProcedure

String$ = "<title ...
