PS. The FD is not perfect, but over the last 20 years many people have criticized it, tried to do better and none of them have finished... Personally, I use it every day. You just have to take the time to figure out what he can and can't do. Moreover, a Form is not ...

does this help, use a static variable to hold the string so you can append the text

So it looks like there's a few ways to add a character at a time to EditorGadget()
Some behave different to others on different OS platforms... I've only been successful if I read the contents back, add a character and send the new data to EditorGadget() again with Linux - Windows just seems to ...

@RASHAD

@infratec
Thanks for your reply. Your code works on Linux and Windows

@davebar
Thanks also for your reply. Interestingly your example works fine on Windows but NOT Linux...? Linux displays one character and the cursor is left flashing after that character. Debugging the code I can see both the ...

Hello PureBasic users. I'm requesting help with EditorGadget()

I've created a small terminal program to receive characters from the serial port. While the program works as required, I do have a quirk with the display of text that I can't seem to fix.
I've created a GUI window with EditorGadget ...

So after testing multiple desktops and Linux installs as virtual machines, They all ran fine.
I've installed a few other desktops on my Debian install and narrowed my issue down to only MATE on Debian 9. I have yet to find the exact cause why MATE desktop is not displaying a GTK3 frame correctly ...

Thanks for checking the code for me.

Create a new form and paste the following code then compile with GTK2 and GTK3

@Shardik you have done well again.

I can confirm these subsystems for Linux - well at least for the downloads that I have.

5.72: gtk2 + qt
5.71: gtk2 + qt
5.70: gtk2 + qt
5.62: gtk2 + qt


** Topic marked as solved! **

Thank you

Thanks @Shardik. Your new example also works for me with either GTK2 or GTK3 subsystem option.

I find it interesting that you don't need to specify a library filename in the ImportC "" statement and it just works...
I'm guessing that PB is using the gtk.imp library in the /purelibraries/linux ...

Is OpenGL still a subsystem option with Linux and PB >= 5.62?

re. https://www.purebasic.com/news.php
PB 5.30 - Added: OpenGLGadget() with native opengl commands and constants support for Windows, OSX and Linux
PB 4.61 - Changed: OpenGL subsystem is now default on Linux (a new 'sdl' subsystem has ...

Thank you @Shardik. Your reply was exactly the information I needed. Precise and to the point.
