PureBasic Forums - English

I've managed to fire up PureBasic on my windows machine, using the windows 10 WSL layer :)

If anyone else is interested in trying this out... Here's how:

- Install the WSL layer in windows ( https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10 )
- Install Ubuntu from the windows store ...

It certainly is a big market, Windows always has been of course. The blurb on the desktop-bridge sign-up page, however, is nauseating BS! In particular, the claim that you can 'Reach every Windows device' - that is exactly what you can't do!

To be fair the rest of that very same line reads: "Once ...

So, I'm not fond of the overall situation with the store, and silly requirements that are pushed. *But* having an accessible marketplace with a huge scope sounds pretty nice.

Desktop software published through the MS store requires that you have windows 10 with the anniversary patch installed. This ...

I've launched the free version of this app as well in the windows store!

Please check it out if it looks like something you would find useful. Thank you!

The process for getting published is not particularly painful once you've gotten it set up ...

I've ran the gauntlet and have published ColorCoder Pro in the windows store using the Microsoft Desktop app converter. As far as I'm aware, this may be the first PureBasic app in the windows store :)

ColorCoder is a palette manager, primarily suited for HTML & web design work (your mileage may ...

I'm pleased to announce my first beta release for a new tool I've been working on. This is a pretty handy tool when dealing with hex colors for things like web development. Written in PureBasic, and currently only supporting windows.

This is a free beta, limited to only 12 colors per palette, and 2 ...

I grabbed a copy of this and installed it on my main machine. It's workable, but not because of the new features, but *in spite* of them, by tweaking and working around them. In my instance I've installed start8 from stardock to give me a decent start menu and I rarely visit the new start screen.

I ...

I've created a program using winAPI that i use to make time-lapse video. This uses the clipboard to grab webcam snapshots, but that method seems quite limited.

I've recently gotten a new webcam that supports 1600x1200 resolution, though my searching, I have not found any way that through PB that I ...

welllll... my code... is somewhat like the "john wayne" style you described... but not completely. here's a quick idea of how i do things when starting anything that is going to end up large and/or complicated:

- Start with a few files in the beginning, usually Init, Procedures, and Main.
- Build a ...

hmm... i would say prolly the best thing, would be to just clear the contents of the current selected sheet. No need to clear them all.

CSV files are pretty much the most basic spreadsheet type files there are... multiple sheets don't need to be supported for the format... but if you could load 3 ...

groovy. I've taken a quick look at the import CSV function.. and found a small bug that likely also existed in my code.

If i load a large file, that fills up a lot of cells, then load a small file that only has a few lines, all of the data from the first imported file is still there.

It would ...

Groovy.

It doesn't bother me any if you want to tweak the csv importing code, as i said i threw it together pretty quick, so i'm not too attached to it. I figure you can prolly tweak it to work better with your code anyhow, as i kinda just stumbled my way through it, figuring out your functions as ...

well, i figured i *could* just request features... but what's the fun in that? :lol:

I've done my best to avoid mucking up any of your code when adding to it. for that change, i pretty much only modified one line of code (making the size variables for the table global), other than that it's just a ...

Hiya,

I've been watching this project with a good deal of interest. I often deal with spreadsheets and tons of data at work, and some things, excel just doesn't do easily. I've started playing with your code a bit, nothing too extravagant as of yet, but i have added the ability to load csv files. I ...

nevermind that one line of code i mentioned

updated to beta11, and that line seems to be the correct way.
