GetFileList not working under 6.00

I am not sure if I should post this as a new topic or resurrect on old thread.
In the past I have used idle's "GetFileList" code: https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=51878 but something appears to have changed. On the same Win 10 PC, If I run the unmodified code in PB 7.53 (x64) it ...

Re: Weird Flickering [SOLVED]

Thanks Axolotl, that appears to be the solution.
I started out with the idea that maybe I could use SetGadgetItemState(), but that didn't work for a panel gadget item.
Thanks to everybody for your input.

Forum Rules?

Most other forums have some form of " Formal Rules ", such as " Be respectful "," Moderate language ", etc. etc. OK much of those things are just plain common sense & reasonable behavior (both fairly uncommon :lol: ), but I have read some posts here referring, sometimes in jest, to " Forum Rules ...

Re: Problem with Purebasic v6.00

After reading netmaestro's post I decided to test with 6.00 under Windows 11 at 800x600 resolution and I get the same result as jak64 does under Windows 10.

Re: Problem with Purebasic v6.00

Not sure why "Enable DPI aware" needs to be set. The output in 6.00 is the same when the resolution is set to 800x600.

Re: Problem with Purebasic v6.00

You have not said what doesn't work.

I run your code in 5.73 x64 and 6.00 x64 under Windows 10 the resulting display is identical in both cases.
Should we be making a comparison with a different OS or other configurations?
