Has anyone come up with a solution to this?

I've done some research on DVD drivers, etc. It appears that they all require DirectShow, which must be the overlay thingy.

Calling up a Windows Media Player? Yes, but not in my case - it still won't do a fullscreen thing, or use DirectX and not DirectShow.

[edit]Because the projector is on ...

Has anyone got an answer to this question? I've just been searching the forum for the same thing!

InterVideo WinDVD uses a "Screen Overlay", but I don't like this because I need to project a DVD onto a projector via wireless, and I can't use overlays.

You would probably have to find a DVD decoder ...

Thanks!

Where did you find it by the way?

Sorry, I may not have made myself clear enough. I wanted to see if the user had pressed that key on a screen .

For example:

InitSprite()
InitKeyboard()
OpenScreen(1024,768,32,"")
Repeat
ExamineKeyboard()
Delay(20)
Until KeyboardReleased(#PB_Key_PrintScreen) ; This will never evalutate to true ...

How can I find out if the user has pressed the print screen button on my screen?

There is no #PB_Key_PrintScreen constant! Is there a numeric value which I can use?

The key does get captured with #PB_Key_All.

Thanks, TheTeapot

Thanks a lot for that!

I've simplified it to remove a structure, but it may not work when you add in more objects. However, for a one-object program someone might find it usefull.

Interface My_Object
Procedure1(x.l, y.l)
EndInterface

Structure Methods
My_Procedure1.l
EndStructure

Procedure My ...

I don't have PB V4, so this comes up as a syntax error.

Surely there's some way of doing this!

I'm trying out OOP in purebasic, and I put together this from Drac's oop tutorial , but I can't get it to work.

It gives out an "Invalid memory access", which would seem to me as if the object isn't being initialized properly. However, the structure matches up perfectly with the interface.

Can ...

A bit controversial, asking whether to use Purebasic or PHP!

I would recommend using PHP, because to write a form, it's much simpler than making a windows executable. I won't post any code in the PB forum, but all you need to do is to create a form, and then submit it to a basic checking script. It ...

1. See code below. Plot() is slow at times, and it is hard to get lots of colours quickly, so it may take a while depending on your computer. In the code, I've drawn a pixel, found it, and waited for the user to close the window. You will notice that the higher the values of #Width and #Height you ...

[edit]
Partly solved - It's something to do with my computer, since another computer on my network can run it fine. It's not my code, so I've removed that.

When I run the following code on my computer, and hold down some arrow keys to see what it does, it works for a while, but then it gets ...

I may be missing something here, but shouldn't you have it without the @ symbol because the @ symbol refers to a pointer?

If MouseState\rgbButtons[MOUSEBUTTON_LEFT]
; convert from relative to absolute coords ???
mintMouseX = mintMouseX + MouseState\lx
mintMouseY = mintMouseY + MouseState\ly ...

Yes, it's written for PB 3.94. As thefool said, you need to have ClearScreen(RGB(0, 0, 0)) for PB 4.

Intrigued: I had that line there for when I compiled it as a screensaver.
The code posted is for a screensaver, but when you want the user-interactive version, you need only the escape key.
It all ...

Code updated For 5.20+

I wrote this while looking for a fireworks simulator thing. It can be modified very easily to let the user place the fireworks wherever they want.

I thought that it was good enough to post on the forum.
