PureBasic Forums - English

It does in fact allow HTML5. Unfortunately it uses the ancient PB WebBrowser and IE11 emulation.

I searched the forum and found two likely snippets:

Procedure.l EnumWindowsProc(hWnd.l, lParam.l)
Shared RunProgram_WindowID.l
If GetWindowThreadProcessId_(hWnd, 0) = lParam

I am getting closer.
If I run an instance of the "official" PureBasic Drag and Drop example
along with an instance of my snippet:

This is weird. I am running Windows 7 64 bit now,
but I can try Windows 10. Maybe I have a permissions
problem.

The only icon I get is the no-drop slashed black circle.
Are you able to drop a file using my code?

I don't know if this would help.

How do you drop an external file onto a PB program window?

I tried this snippet, but I get a no drop icon:
If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 440, 270, "DragDrop",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SystemMenu)
EnableWindowDrop(0, #PB_Drop_Files,#PB_Drag_Link);|#PB_Drag_Copy)

In reply to Fred:
SB uses your browser for its gadget, it's not the same at all than PB.
I tried, unsuccessfully, to access an HTML5 app with the SB webgadget.
That's why I thought it was using the same one as PB.
If it is supposed to work, then I will try again.

Are you planning on having SB ...

So, a year has gone by and PureBasic is still
using the same very obsolete webgadget!

It looks like SpiderBasic is also using the same
gadget, which is ludicrous. Don't you think that
it's time to really get on the HTML5 bandwagon?

PureBasic is great software. Why spoil it with
junk like this ...

Are we having fun yet?

I appreciate the very informed comments supplied
by the forum members, especially IdeasVacuum.
He's like an encyclopedia on this stuff.

My conclusion is this. Why not have it both ways?
I can use E-junkie for US sales. They have a filtering
function.

I can use Avangate or ...

I removed the [Resolved]. VAT is obviously a
hot topic.

Both IdeasVacuum and TI-994A made good points.
I am very interested in what other members think.

It seems to be a choice between what you are
supposed to do, which would be a disaster for a
tiny business like mine, and what people are ...

Is there a VAT tax in Europe on software?
I haven't published anything in the US for
9 years and there was no tax here, then.

Even though the response was underwhelming,
I am moving along with my decision process.

I started with a list I made about 10
years ago when I was launching another
product through CNet.

These are the one's still in business:
Avangate, BMTMicro, Digital River (Absorbed
esellerate and MyCommerce ...

I know that many of you are selling your software online.

Does any distributor really shine as far as price and
performance goes, for PureBasic Apps?

I only know of a couple myself:
BMT Micro and FastSpring.

Hi IdeasVacuum,

Thanks for your valuable information.

I am not quite sure what you mean by
"define your own license system".

Inno Setup looks great! It has a lot of
features I have been looking for.

People who steal your software, were
probably not going to buy it anyway,
unless the price were ...
