For my Linux distribution, I am satisfied to use "Control Center/Look and Feel/Appearance" menu item "Fonts" to select appropriate font size. In this tab I can set fonts for "Application", Document", Desktop", Window title" and "Fixed width". Although it changes fonts for other apps, I am writing ...

LoadFont changes the font on dialog gadgets, but the titlebar font stays the same. How do I change the titlebar font for a dialogwindow?

If I pass an image to a ButtonImageGadget by ImageID, then immediately free the image, the button still shows the image. For that reason, I felt that the button copied the image, and it seemed to be wasteful of memory to keep an image the button has copied. But if there is no way to request the ...

I did a Google search for "#Image from ImageID", and found a link to a forum question. The response to the question on the google link was Hi Julian. Until the team implements the long-lamented GetImageNumber (fromImageID) function, here's a simple drop-in solution that might work for you. It's ...

4. I noticed that ResizeWindow(DialogWindow(dialog),DesktopMouseX(),DesktopMouseY(),#PB_Ignore,#PB_Ignore) puts the dialog where I clicked the mouse.

1. Is there any way to specify a ParentID without also specifying x, y, width, height?
2. If I specify a ParentID, the dialog seems to be centered in the parent, ignoring the values of x, y, width, height. Is that typical?
3. If I skip optional parameters, is there ...

Your method certainly works. I was hoping that I could avoid passing a map in a structure by creating a map reference.

In DoSomething1, Global MapA is altered through a reference. In DoSomething2, Global MapA is altered directly. In the Procedures, MapA syntax looks exactly the same.

Is there a ...

I see in the help, that I can pass a Map ByRef like Procedure DebugMap(Map ParameterMap.s()).

Suppose I rather need to pick a map within a function at runtime. The code below which obviously fails compile, gives an idea of what I want to accomplish. Is there a way to create a local variable and ...

Thanks for the quick response. That would work if the gadget was on the main window. Once I start putting containers inside containers things get tricky.

The Form Designer has an option to reparent gadgets which means their x and y are no longer relative to the main window, but their to new parent ...

I have a window with a PanelGadget that contains another PanelGadget as a child. When I call OpenGadgetList on one of the child panel tabs, the top left corner seems to be at 0,0. However, WindowMouseX, WindowMouseY return coordinates based on the main window independent of the gadget below the ...

Thanks for the quick response. Your way works great and I'm moving on the create the next bug.

When I call ParseXML in the code below, it gives me the error "#XML object number is very high (over 10000), are You sure of that ?"
Is this a bug as I would think ParseXML should be able to handle whatever #PB_Any would generate.

; try to create a minimal ParamsXML file
hParamsXML = CreateXML ...

1. If I add a menu to a window in form designer, then run the app, clicking on the menu title causes the title to highlight and the menu drops down as expected. Is there a way to be notified before the menu drops down so I can dynamically edit it?

2. If I click on a submenu, it highlights and the ...

Sorry, I typed gtk_init and got a list. Not sure why I did not see anything the last time I tried it.

I bought the product several years back. I assume purchasing it means I have the full version. Is there anything in the about that tells me I am not running the full version?
