Ah ha - good spot there Mistrel. It didn't even occur to me WindowEvent() was running twice within one loop iteration so would miss events!!!! That is definitely a "Doh!!" moment!!!

That also explains why it worked for me when I put in the or EventID = 16 in the until statement!!!!

Thanks for the ...

@sigi,

Weird eh? This is quite similar to a problem with using the initial version of the Blitz3d SDK within a C#.net winforms apps. The SDK was "swallowing" most of the windows events before .net could process them.


Try this - change the Delay(1) line to something like Delay(100).

Obviously ...

Hi Sigi,

Have you tried running my updated version of your code? If so, do you get any values displayed in the Console window when you select a menu option?


Interestingly, if I change the until line of code to add an Or EventID = 16 clause (so the line now reads)
Until WindowEvent() = #WM_CLOSE ...

@r_hyde,

In a round-about way, I have come to the same conclusion. I have changed Sigi's original code to output to a console whenever the EventID variable is not equal to 0. With this new code the menu event trigger every time. Here is the code I am testing with:

#screenwidth = 800
#screenheight ...

Hi Sigi,

Something strange is going on. I can replicate your problem. Here is why I say something weird is going on:

The first time I ran you example code using the PureGDK examples it worked fine i.e. selecting the Objects -> Load menu option displayed the File Open dialog box.

When I quit the ...

This is the conversion of one of the example supplied with zParticles plugin.

I have just successfully converted one of the Unity (LUA) DBPro plugin examples to PureGDK.

The only change I have made from the original DBPro project installed as part of the Unity installer is I have moved all the media into the media directory.

I am very very impressed with PureGDK. You can ...

Hi Mistrel.

Just wanted to confirm that the update has solved the compilation problem. Thank you for that. I must say I think PureGDK is very impressive.

FIXED THIS ISSUE -> The only issue I have now is when I try to close down a compiled exe (by clicking on the red X) that .exe just hangs. I ...

Examining my DBPro installation, I have the following plugins:

Licenced:
AdvancedTerrain, DarkAI, DarkPhysics, Extends, Enhancement, EzRotate, Unity, DarkLights, Styx, Cloth & Particle

User:
2dpluginkit, AdvancedSprites, Matrix1Util plugins, zParticles.


So maybe PureGDK requires one or more ...

I may be wrong, but to me that sounds like the kind of error the DBPro compiler throws when it is trying to compile a keyword in the source code and it cannot find that keyword in any of the extensions/DLLs stored in either the plugins-licensed or plugins-user folders (stored within the compiler ...

Hi Sigi,

I have just tried all 19 examples and they have all compiled and run successfully - I just had to remember to re-select Debugger -> Use Debugger after loaded each individual example.

Do you get any specific error? As another check, I am using DBPro v1.066 and PureBasic 4.10.

I noticed some people were getting a "Wrong Compiler" error. I was initially getting this first, but I have found the solution.

It seems I have to select the Debugger -> Use Debugger" menu option in order to successfully compile a PureGDK source.

This has the disadvantage that if I compile using ...

Hi guys,

I want to write a program which simply gets the track (song) length of a WMA or MP3 file.

Does anybody have any PureBasic code which does this? Do you know of any DLL I can use which will do this for me?

Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give me.

Daz.
