Thanks!

I did search the forum, but I was searching for this find feature, and the search functionality of the forum filter the "find" word.

Hi,

Is it possible to have a Find function for text (like in Notepad) for an editorgadget?

Would I have to get the text of the editor gadget and use the string functions?

And how can I highlight the found words?

Thanks!

Yes, I'm using threads. But I'm not opening the window inside the thread. The thread is running but I'm opening when there's a hotkey pressed, it's an event in the main loop of the application.

I tried Kwaï chang caïne tip and it's working now!
Thanks Kwaï!

I'm using this to show the window ...

Hi,

I have an application with only a systray icon, and when I click on the icon, a window should unhide.

I'm using this code to achieve that:

HideWindow(#WINDOW_1, 0)
SetActiveWindow(#WINDOW_1)
SetActiveGadget(#G_1)


Most of the times this works, but sometimes the window shows up minimized ...

Here is an example with RegisterHotkey_() : http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=26781

Thank you :)

Here's what I did:

RegisterHotKey_(#Null, 0, #MOD_CONTROL, #PB_Shortcut_1)

; and in the main loop:
repeat
ev=WaitWindowEvent()
if ev=#WM_HOTKEY
debug "key detected"
endif ...

Hi,

What's the best way to register a global hotkey to a functionality of my application?
And how can I catch the event of that key in my application?

I tried to search in the forum, but I'm having some dificulties in having good results in the search function of the new forum.

Thank you!

I found out that if I move the gadgets that aren't generated to another position they show up in the gadget list. But as soon as I move them to the position I want they disappear from the gadget list.

Hi,

I create a window in visual designer and add some gadgets, but after adding two frame gadgets when I generate the source, some gadgets aren't generated. But they are visible in the visual designer...

Any workaround for this?

Thanks!

I would like to use the internal SQLite but I'm not sure of the right syntax to create tables.

The SQLite uses the following datatypes: INTEGER, REAL, TEXT and BLOB

But in the help example of purebasic (UseSQLiteDatabase) the datatype used is: VARCHAR

What datatypes shall I use?

One more ...

ok, I have a solution:



x = 0
y = 0

If OpenWindow(0, 100, 200, 300, 260, "Marquee")

CreateImage(0, 300, 20)
CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
ImageGadget(0, 0, 100, 0, 0, ImageID(0))

last = ElapsedMilliseconds()


Repeat
EventID = WindowEvent()

If EventID = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
Quit = 1 ...

Hi,

I'm trying to create a very simple game, where I move a rectangle with the mouse.

The problem is that the move of the box isn't smooth, it looks like the game is using a lot of cpu...

Here is the code:
