Thanks for the reply idle.

If you could run the code on a Windows machine and you commented out the SetGadgetState command then you get all 10 debugs of index as expected. The only time the semaphore seems to lock is when the command SetGadgetState is used within a semaphore.

If when creating the ...

I'm trying to get my head around mutex's and semaphore's and I thought I had it until my project came to a halt when trying to to use setgadgetstate to change the image of an imagegadget.
Code just locks up but does not crash.

Every other command I've used in a semaphore so far has had no problem ...

Interesting.

I understand the limitations imposed by the OS in this situation. I did read the manual of which it said “Returns the content of the specified environment variable from the programs environment block”. It’s easy to see how it could be misunderstood and I apologise for the inconvenience.

I seem to have found a problem with GetEnvironmentVariable(). I'm using 5.22 LTS x64 IDE on Windows 8.1(Update 1) x64 (8.0 to 8.1 upgrade) and have the problem on the same set-up on my laptop.

Sample code –
Debug GetEnvironmentVariable("CommonProgramFiles")
Debug GetEnvironmentVariable ...

Many thanks for that Danilo.

I’m starting to get into some slightly advanced programming that requires the use of Windows and third party API’s on Windows 8.1 with PB 5.21 LTS. I use many of the simple Windows API’s and I’m happy with the basic use of structures and linked lists but some of the API’s want to return data to a ...

Thanks for that.

However, sorry about the sloppy code but then I did say that I modified the DEMO from the manual.

Is anyone aware of the StatusBarProgress issue or should I post it in the bug section?

I have searched the forum and can find very little posted about the StatusBarProgress command.

What I wanted to do was use the progress bar and then hide it and use the field for other info but I've come across an issue.
I can create and use the progress bar as documented in the manual but it does ...

Thanks for all the help.

MPZ's solutons was the easiest to implement and my PC18F4550 is working just fine.


Thanks again.

Thanks.
That may be a good starting point for me.

Thanks for your reply.
I've got some examples in VB and C and they appear to use a lot of API calls.

Does anyone have any working example code in PB that shows how to -
1. Search list of HID's and find a specific HID & PID
2. Connect to that HID & PID and transfer data and receive data

I have done a search and the best I've found is http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=37721 .

So I should be able to get the user logged on by using NetWkstaUserEnum and query the workstation in question. If I use the WKSTA_USER_INFO_1 structure I can even find out the authenticating server.

Can this code be modified to retrieve not only the Computer Name but also the Username of the currently logged on user and the OS and service pack running on that PC. Can we also find out what admin group they are in?

Wichtel,

I have only tried your first example and it works well for me.

Many thanks.
