Thank you! I wish you would have done this about six months ago

Should I be using the Unicode flag when I compile my programs? What are the advantages and disadvantages?

My program does not seem to notice when I run it either way, same amount of GIGO.

Bummer

Thanks for looking.

Rand

Thank you for all your great programs Gnozal!

I would like very much to use this library but it locks my program. I believe it is the Unicode setting I am using as the example also freezes when Unicode executable is checked. It would be great if you can find time to look into this.

@Sub-Routine : sorry, I could not reproduce the problem.[/quote]

I haven't seen it again, either. jaPBe started up again and is running fine so I am not worried.

BTW, I don't think I chimed in a thank you at you yet, so
Thank You for taking jaPBe to the next level!

I had a jaPBe freeze yesterday. I copied a block (~30 lines), pasted it, accidentally pasted it again, hit Ctrl+Z (undo) and jaPBe froze. Task Manager showed 50% use (I have a dual P4) and I finally had to end the process.

I use the automatic backup and do plenty of saves so I didn't lose much ...

Every string returned by a PB function will be in Unicode format if you are compiling with "Create Unicode Executable" option enabled!

So deselect it and the Ansi2Uni function will work the same way as it did in PB 3.94

And it does.

Then forgive me for the uninformed question. What is wrong ...

Thanks Esteban, it looks like it should work. Do I have to deselect Unicode executable? I get a Unicode string returned.

Rand

Why not simply use the same Uni 2 Ansi conversion function you did with PB 3.94 for the returned string?

I didn't think the COMLIB would work with PB4. I'll give it a shot.

Result.s = PeekS(*ResultPointer, #PB_Any, #PB_Unicode)

Thank you, this works.

I thought setting PB to use Unicode was ...

The way I read this is that the second parameter to
GetModelStringForDevice()
should be a pointer to a buffer and so the interface declaration should probably read as follows:
GetModelStringForDevice(a.p-BSTR,b)

Then pass the address of the string buffer as the second parameter when invoking ...

Here is the description of the function:
I can call several other functions successfully, but none that return a string.

I hope someone can help me, please.

I have a program that works well in PB 3.94 by calling Uni2Ascii and Ascii2Uni (COMLIB). I am struggling with some of the conversion to PB4.

I used the Interface Generator from aXend to produce this:
Interface ISDM3 Extends IDispatch
GetModelStringForDevice(a,b ...

I have a trackbar that is used as an indicator, ie, changed using SetGadgetState(). What EventType/#WM_???? tells me it has changed? I want to update a text control when the bars value changes, possibly from several places so I want to capture an event.

That all seems so complicated to me. If you ...

Yes, a Flag to use with StringGadget...

You should realize that the first element in a linked list is x(0), I think that may be a mistake in your PB4 example.

Example for 3.94:
NewList x.s()

Procedure test_list()
AddElement(x())
x() = "Inside Procedure"
; Debug x()
EndProcedure

For X = 0 To 2
AddElement(x())
x() = "Outside ...
