Yes, input works. I switched to that. Probably should have been using that from the beginning.

It appears to be a MacOS bug as it works on my Windows 10 machine.

The following code snippet returns the same key code for "," and "." on MacOS 14.5.7. It also appears to happen on 15.5

Thank you for confirming I am not crazy!

I will post a bug report on the Mac bug forum.

Thanks for the suggestion for using input. That works. Did not realize that input acts just like keydown.

Yeah, I want to make sure its not my system that's the problem. This is on my laptop, so no keypad.

Verified language settings are English both on the system and in Purebasic.

Just tried it on my windows 10 box, works fine there.

Before I declare this a bug, can I get a few people to try this code snippet and see if you get the same result when you press "." and ","? On my system, MacOS 14.7.5, I get 44 for both of them which is ",".

Please tell me I'm not crazy. :-D

I've tried using the standalone debugger with several external editors (Sublime, CotEditor, BBEdit, my own editor, etc..) and I have the same problem... it locks up I'd say about 50% of the time. Just get the spinning wheel of death. I usually create a file with debugger options as described in the ...

Finally have a new version ready. This one adds a textButtonItem which replaces how colors were chosen. Demo now has a font property using the new textButtonTiem and loading/saving forms is now supported. Next up is code generation so that this can, hopefully, be somewhat useful.

You now need to ...

well, crap... I dunno. It locks up on me every single time and I have verified the executable type is set to console.

Let me try "emergency repair procedure #1"... reboot.

yes, I set the executable type to console before running that snippet.

Running this code snippet as a console program causes the IDE to lock up every single time.

Program runs, does not display anything and then IDE locks up. Works fine if I compile it on the command line.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Just uploaded a new version. It should be working much better under Windows now, though not perfectly.

Please note: You only need to download filedesigner3.pb and property_editor.pb

Bear with me... I develop on MacOS but trying to get one of my modules to work under Windows...

I have the following code to make a canvas transparent in Windows but after doing this, the canvas no longer receives any events.


Define hwCanvas = GadgetID(canvas)
Define transparentColor = RGB(255 ...

ok, serious problem with the Windows version, for some reason this code to make the canvas transparent, while it works, make the canvas not respond to events. So, until this is solved, unfortunately, this module will be MacOS only.


Define hwCanvas = GadgetID(canvas)
Define transparentColor ...

Thanks you.

At the moment it only outputs to json. Code generation is on my list of things to do.
