I went through something similar a while back. In the end I bought a laptop and did as much as I could on it in the living room as she watched T.V. I still spent quite a bit of time in another room on my normal PC, just not as much.

Well, I'm only half-way through but I think it's very well-written, informative and easy to read. It's just what someone new to PB (like myself) needs.

Any plans to write other books Kale?

Hi.

I have been looking at GetGadgetItemText() for most of the day but I've not been able to find a way, so you are saying I am missing something Trond? I'll look again, thanks.

Thanks dagcrack, I'll give that a try. No, I certainly wouldn't expect PB to have a function for everyones needs. I just ...

ListViewGadget to text file

Hi.

Is there any way to copy all items in a ListViewGadget to a text file on separate lines? Doing it the other way around is no problem but I don't see a way of doing this. The documentation gives these commands:

- AddGadgetItem(): Add an item.
- RemoveGadgetItem(): Remove an item ...

Thank you Pureabc, but I have not been able to run the example. I get the following error message:

"Line 49: SQLite3_InitLib is not a function, array, macro or linked list."

I am running PB4 on Windows XP. Does anyone have any idea what the problem is please?

Thanks.

SQLite - help getting started

Hi.

Could anyone help me get started with using SQLite with PB please? I have not done any programming for some time but my boss has recently asked me to write a small programme for where I work. Once I can write a very basic programme I'll learn the rest through the documentation but I'd be very ...

I've only recently moved to Linux but of the distros I have tried I rated Redhat first followed by mandrake, partly because they supported my hardware better.

Database questions

Hi.

I am switching from VB to PB but I am having trouble understanding how you retrieve data from access databases in PB. For example, is there a PB equivalent for the following snippet?

Set oRS = New Recordset
strConnect = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 ...

Japbe error

Hi.

I have just downloaded PureBasic and it seems excellent but I do have a small problem, which is that Japbe doesn't run. Every time I try it breaks with an error saying "A constant can't have a type." I have tried with code examples given with PureBasic and even with no code but it keeps ...
