PureBasic Forums - English

Thanks. Just getting into PureBasic (coming from PowerBasic) so right now I'm mostly experimenting how I might be able to port some of the data structures for my app. It was heavily into using Objects with PowerBasic, but that's out. I looked at a posting of a possible way to do Objects in PureBasic ...

Exactly what I want.

Is there a reason to have the macro to create a " ??

I tried variations with #DQUOTE$, ~"\"", etc using both + and # to concatenate strings - all failed.

Many thanks.

I'm trying to create a macro which will call a Procedure and pass it the value of one of the macro operands as a literal (i.e. within quotes)

But so far I cannot find a syntax which works.

Here's a short sample. I want to Call the SQL procedure passing the 'Field' macro operand surrunded by quotes ...

I'm trying to migrate a PowerBasic program to PureBasic. It uses the SQLite3.DLL.

I'm having no luck trying to figure out how to access the DLL. I'd prefer to NOT use the UseSQLiteDatabase() method as I have a lot of code already set up to use the direct access to SQLite3.DLL so I don't really want ...

spikey: infratec: OK, thanks. Pretty much as I was thinking. Where PureBasic beats out PowerBasic by a mile is that structures can have basically any data type, including variable length stuff like dynamic strings. In PowerBasic, you have to put dynamic stuff like that into an Object.

What I'd like ...

firace: Thanks for the tip, especially since I now know (the hard way) the significance of those options.

OK, I'm porting a tabbed editor from PowerBasic to PureBasic. In PowerBasic, the data related to a single tab instance was defined and manipulated in an Object associated with the tab. This provided great data isolation between tabs and simplified coding greatly.

But I see no Objects in PureBasic ...

Thank you all for the help. I now have a working skeleton.

I'm exploring PureBasic as I'm afraid I really have to start getting off PowerBasic. Since Bob Zale died, it has been rudderless and basically dead. And I don't see any white knight on the horizon to save it. Now I gather it is up for sale ...

OK, I'm stymied. I use FORM -> New, create a simple little window, and it compiles and runs this basic skeleton just fine.

So I save it as a .PBF file, and figure I'll make it the basis for a new Project. So I create the Project, include the newly created .PBF file, setup all the options to what ...
