Ok. Thanks.

I think what I just learned is that the simple answer is to just use doubles. It gives the kind of output I was looking for without having to define two sets of variables and determine if I am doing integer or double math, I think.

Here's my complete project now that I saw what happens ...

I'm trying to get back up to speed with PB and I'm running into something that is make me feel rather dumb.

I was trying to create a simple calculator. I just placed two StringGadgets and one ComboBox and one TextGadget in a window with the Forms Designer, along with a button that says "Calculate ...

Replying again to my own post.

I posted too soon before. I'm using PB 6.20 x64 on my Intel MacBook Pro and in the Forms Designer, the strange scrolling problem persists.

If I click a button, and then move the pointer over the Event Procedure field and click, it will start scrolling and scroll all ...

Replying to my own post.

I've had a chance to test this on macOS & Windows x86/x64 and it doesn't happen there.

Also, rebooted my M3 MacBook Pro and tested again in macOS ARM & Windows ARM (Parallels) and the problem persists on ARM.

I'm running PB 6.20 on my Apple Silicon MacBook in both macOS and Windows 11 and in both OSes, there seems to be an issue with the properties panel.

If I click on a widget, like a button, and then try to click in the Event Procedure box, the Properties Panel seems to think I'm scrolling. It's ...

I figured it out.

I made my event loop like this:

Repeat
event = WaitWindowEvent()
If event = #PB_Event_Menu
If EventMenu() = #PB_Menu_Quit
Break
EndIf

Else
Window_0_Events(event)
EndIf


Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

That compiles, runs, and the app quits when choosing Quit ...

Hello!

This is making me feel a bit dense and frustrated.

I can't figure out how to respond and quit when Quit is chosen from the Application menu.

My app so far is super simple. I'm just trying to wrap my head around using the Forms Designer and how to created gadgets, events, and respond to ...

If you have the need to change the format of a text selected with the cursor dynamically, the example code has to be expanded! Please tell me whether you need this additional feature and I might try to implement it.

If you want to change the text format of an existing text in the EditorGadget by ...

But already 5 years ago I have posted this cross-platform code example in the German forum which allows to use text tags to convert marked text into bold, italic and underlined text.

Wow! Thank you! This looks really cool. I've been reading through your code a bit trying to get familiar with it ...

Hello!

I'm a new user, investigating transitioning from Livecode. It seems that there isn't an easy cross platform way to use rich text / styled text in the EditorGadget? Is this true? If so, what's the best way to use rich / styled text in PB?

Note: I mainly want to be able to use strikethrough ...

Thanks for the confirmation. I guess it looks like the solution, for the time being, is to set screen to 100% scaling when using the Form Designer.

So, I just discovered that this behavior on Windows 10 only happens when Windows display settings are set to use scaling. I had my display set to scale to 125%. If I set the scale to 100%, this odd behavior goes away.

So, here's my form:


;
; This code is automatically generated by the FormDesigner.
; Manual modification is possible to adjust existing commands, but anything else will be dropped when the code is compiled.
; Event procedures needs to be put in another source file.

Hmm. When I lock the top and the bottom, the string gadget does resize. It gets big instead of just keeping its position relative to the bottom of the window.
