PureBasic Forums - English

Oh, I didn't think it was beyond the scope of the PB manual.
Ok then.

Thanks.

12 years later, I can report that it works silently on Windows 2022.

A lot of these are Windows API constants. #MAX_PATH is documented by Microsoft here , for example.



All built-in constants are listed in the IDE's Structure Viewer on the „Constants“ tab.
I don't think it's necessary to repeat them in the help.


Hum, how complete a documentation is if it's ...

By a search in Google, I learnt about these 2 constants : #CRLF$ and #MAX_PATH.
They could be added to the "PureBasic Constants" page.

Now I wonder which other constants I missed

Confirmed.
A1000, A500, A2000 didn't have a FPU for sure.
They appeared later with CPU cards like the Apolo030/060 or Blizzard cards.

This actually came in 6.10. Fred explained why here , and if you have an app where size really, really matters, 6.04 isn't that old and should still produce binaries in the 20 KB range like that.


Ah, I was reacting to "New linker for DLL creation to have smaller binary size (Windows)" :-D ...

I had a small script that compiled into a 22KB binary (compiled in 2019). Now with 6.11, it creates a 159KB file. Ouch!

Yes, I read Fred's comment.
I think a "payment for some work in return" is a more solid cooperation than a "hope they will donate - hope they will work on PB".
Be sure I often donated a lot to open source projects and often with no real visible benefit.
I understand the team point of view. I thought ...

Thanks everyone for the ideas.
I tend to think our suggestions could make a better Purebasic but I just read this thread so I now understand it will not happen.
I wonder why some people think everything should be free. Our meal is not free, neither our car is, so...

I would pay 49 euros each year, the same price as Spiderbasic.
I wonder who would do the same. What about a poll?

Yes !!!
I kept looking at my code and doing some tests but without changing WaitWindowEvent.
You are right I don't have to wait as I handle some other cases where I should exit the main loop.

Thanks pjay.

Hi brave coders,

I have a problem with the following code.
When I run it, the window with the progress bar opens but the bar is not refreshed (but the download runs correctly).
As soon as I click on the progress window, or just moving my mouse over it and the refresh starts.

What can be wrong? (I ...

Such feature would be great in PB:

For os in ("Windows", "Linux", "MacOS")
Debug "PB is available for " + $os
Next

Thanks infratec, I'll look into it.
Even if it would be more elegant in the core functions.

And now we have 3.2.2 released? How does that versioning make sense?


3.5 and 3.9 were kept locked in the hands of their developers so development of the Classic AmigaOS had to start again from 3.1, hence the 3.1.4 and later.

If you look at mainstream, you'll notice that we never seen Windows 9 ...
