PureBasic Forums - English

I apologize if I upset anyone but I've spent the last couple of months transitioning to Embarcadero's Delphi and porting my old Visual Basic code to Pascal. It suits my needs perfectly, is a true RAD system, and was quite easy to grasp. I have extensive experience in C (25 years), C++ (20 years ...

Can someone inform me of how to delete my PureBasic forum account?
I'm afraid PB just doesn't fit my needs and it is time to move on to a different product.

Thanks in advance.

I would like to ask for an option for a right-hand code margin at the 80 column position in a future version of PureBASIC. The user would be able to turn it on or off, as well as be able to change its color. Changing its color would be necessary so in case the user prefers a black text background ...

Thanks, Danilo.

The gentleman (or gentlemen - I don't know any names) who created and maintain PureBasic obviously have a great deal of talent and expertise, far more than myself. So, I'm quite certain he/they have a valid reason for not creating the Set/Get compliments for each property, even if ...

I'm the only one who can eat my own food. Why would I settle for eating bread or crackers every day when there is the possibility to splurge and have a delicious steak?

Oh, I know... because realistically I have no actual need for such a property and just thought I would toss a random question into ...

No... I'll not fit this forum because when I ask a question I expect a straightforward answer to it without it being followed up with sarcasm or useless verbage.

If the people who create this program don't see adding wizards to a program that I paid for as feasable, then let them be the one to say ...

I don't have time to learn. I only have time to produce apps. If it weren't for .NET being unsecured bloatware running through a virtual machine, I would have stuck with the RAD of Visual Basic.

Issue is resolved. Thanks for everyone's input.

Never mind...

I wrote my own API wrapper function using GetConsoleMode(). Problem solved.

All properties in the PB library need some way to test or determine their current value.

For instance, EnableGraphicalConsole(State) turns the graphical mode on, but there is currently no means to test which setting it currently posseses.
Is my console in graphical mode or text mode?

When I get to ...

I would like to see some application wizards/templates for say...

SDI applications
MDI applications (especially this one)
basic splitter window application (especially this one too - I know there are sample apps but I'm not yet advanced enough to strip out the stuff I don't want from them)
simple ...

but, back to my main point...

Is there any procedure or method that I can test to see if graphical mode is already enabled or not?

The way it was explained to me by seasoned professionals is that you never hard-code any system("blah-blah-blah") calls into your applications.
Some person with sinister motives who knows that your program makes system calls to existing Windows programs could replace one of those programs with a ...

Very interesting...

I did something quite similar to this a couple of years ago in C. It tests for the OS platform and implements the correct clear screen procedure accordingly. However, after much valued input from some C gurus, I learned that using the Windows system("cls") command posed a ...
