PureBasic Forums - English

I had a similar problem:

viewtopic.php?f=13&t=66470

Maybe the discussion there can help? It's caused by PB_Window_SizeGadget.

Back for another question, nco2k. :)

On the first page of this thread, you showed how to do a thumbnail of a window. Are you able to explain how to show just a portion of the source window as the thumbnail in the target window? Everything I've tried always shows the entire source window as a ...

Thank you, it works on 64bit for me now.

If you're just wanting to load images without the PureBasic libs, see here:

viewtopic.php?f=12&t=74117

No need for the FreeImage DLL (which is almost 1 MB to add to your app).

Load BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG (and more) images without the PureBasic image plugins (UseGIFImageDecoder, etc).

Not my code, but no topic exists for it, so I made one. :)

Procedure LoadImageEx(imgnum,file$,depth=24)
Interface nIDXSurfaceFactory
QueryInterface(a,b) : AddRef() : Release ...

The code I posted above is no longer useful for 64bit PureBasic because it doesn't return negative or positive values for the wheel direction. Is there some sort of ">>" math trick to make it work again?

Different tools exist that show it. Here's one: https://mitec.cz/exe.html

Rashad, I just discovered today that your code in the first post is failing for me again. After some testing, I realized "ReadData(fn,@count,SizeOf(Integer))" in RestoreDesktopIconsPositions() was returning 0 sometimes. So if I ignored that and put "count=4" after that line (4 is the number of icons ...

Sorry, please ignore this, I just realized the approach won't even work for my situation, as multiple threads would be writing to the database at once, which introduces a major risk of corruption. Better to keep it separate. Sorry for the post.

Never mind, I made a mistake. Post edited. Thanks for your guidance.

Hi Little John,

Ah, so because I was using an API call, I needed the LibraryID(). Makes sense.

[Edited to remove my mistake with a further question]

Hi Rashad, I tried your code but it doesn't show the default shortcut name; it just seems to create a shortcut without the default name?

Spikey: your code is what I was looking for (especially the 4154 ID code). But I noticed that you need to hard-code the library number to make it work? If I use ...

When you right-click a file in Windows and select "Create shortcut", it defaults to a specific name pattern depending on the OS and language used. Here's an image of "iexplore.exe" with two shortcuts created; one from English Windows, and one from Vietnamese Windows:

you have untested branches in your code, which is bad
Originally it wasn't untested, because my procedure wasn't a thread (it was triggered by a button, as shown in my other example that I linked to). But then I made it a thread for a specific reason but simply forgot that the procedure now needed ...
