flashing text for TextGadget?

Is there an easy way with PB to flash the text of a TextGadget (or for any other gadget with text)?

TextGadget(0, 10, 10, 250, 20, "want to flash this text")

Conduct DNS Leak Test on VPN via PureBasic and Powershell

If you are using a VPN service with a software client, e.g. PrivateInternetAccess, one of the important things you need to do is make sure your real ISP DNS address is not disclosed. Most VPN software services software provide a VPN DNS to use or some sort of DNS leak prevention.

Re: Reading strings into an array

@ Josh & ebs

Did not even think about Maps. It works fine though, however, I ended up going with the array after all. When I expand this thing later i'll probably move to Maps instead. Thanks for your excellent suggestions and replies :)

anyway, I have a For - Next loop that makes six passes and digs out strings from something else for a total of six strings but I want to make sure that a string is only put in the array once and there are no duplicates in the array. So, how do I place strings into an array yet ensure a duplicate of ...

Re: Get Global IP address

@blueb,

sorry 'bout that, got left out of the copy-n-paste to the post - the GetValidateIPAddress() procedure is:

Procedure.b GetValidateIPAddress(ipadrtoval$)
; will validate IPv4 and IPv6
ipadr$ = Chr(34) + Chr(39) + ipadrtoval$ + Chr(39) + Chr(34)

OutCmd$ = ""

Re: Large Capacity Hard Drive, Still not recognized after GP

For GPT to work you need to have an UEFI compliant BIOS and motherboard, and the drive must support UEFI. You can only boot from GPT on UEFI based computers running 64 bit versions of Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, or Windows 10 (and the corresponding server versions). All versions of Windows Vista, 7, 8 ...

Re: Get Global IP address

Or you could do what i've been using, for public IPv4 or IPv6 address.

The PureBasic versions:


Procedure.s GetPubIPv4Address()
; https://www.ipify.org/
InitNetwork()
*Buffer = ReceiveHTTPMemory("https://api.ipify.org?format=json")
If *Buffer
ParseJSON(0, PeekS(*Buffer, MemorySize(*Buffer ...

Re: Adding icon to application?

that's what I mean I guess, mine doesn't do that. When I compile the app the icon never shows up as the icon for the application. It will show as the icon for the app if the icon file is in the same folder as the compiled app but once the icon file is removed the app shows no icon. This is not ...

Re: Adding icon to application?

that doesn't work like I want. It doesn't become part of the application, if the icon file is removed or moved the application no longer has an icon representing it.

Adding icon to application?

I know in the compiler options there is a 'use icon' thing but this does not use the icon unless the icon to be used is in the same folder as the application. So how do I encode the icon into the application so the application has an icon without having to put the icon in the same folder?
