Re: Scaling issue?

Do you have your desktop scaled to 125% as I do (anything but 100%)?

Scaling issue?

My goal is to have a custom window pop up over (in this case) a listicon upon right-click like a popup menu would - ideally with the same positioning.
The code below gets pretty close once I click in the top, left corner, but there's increasing drift when I move right and/or down over the listicon ...

Re: Menu lifecycle

What a relief! Thanks so much.

I'd much rather be the fool who forgot a a crucial parameter than turn my back on PB for bigger projects! I was getting quite a bit worried after 4 days, over 60 reads and not a single reply until SMaag this morning ...

Re: Menu lifecycle

Gruß nach Bayern!

Thanks - I am well aware of working around this by doing what you suggest. I do believe you are missing multiple points:

1) As I have quoted in my initial post, CloseWindow() is supposed to free menus and bound events - if that were true, how could the bound event from the Stuff ...

Menu lifecycle

From the help on CloseWindow():

Note: The following items created for a window are also automatically freed when the window is closed: Gadgets, Keyboard shortcuts, Menus, StatusBars, Timers, Toolbars and bound events (with BindEvent()).

I thought I understood this, but maybe not...?

Re: Speed ​​of a program...

Without your complete source code nobody can give a meaningful answer.

I'd like to share two personal observations (without potentially wanting to bruise your ego):

1) PureBasic is very fast - close to the speed of C mostly.

2) More often than not, the cause of slow execution is not the language ...

Re: ListIconGadget Events

Not so - no idea what you did wrong, but as you see here, GetGadgetState() works as advertised:

Procedure ListIconClick()
Debug "Row: " + Str(GetGadgetState(1))
EndProcedure

If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 500, 200, "ListIcon Example", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

Re: ListIconGadget Events

To get the row, read the help on GetGadgetState()

and to get the column, use this (Windows only):

Procedure GetSelectedColumn(ListIcon)
CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows
Protected CursorLocation.POINT, HitInfo.LVHITTESTINFO

GetCursorPos_(CursorLocation)

XML Dialogs capabilities

After going through the list of supported keywords/attributes, it seems to me that certain things, such as gadget hints and gadget coloring are out of reach? Any workarounds for those?

Thanks!

List of XML attributes for dialogs

Just started playing with the Dialogs lib and cannot seem to find a list of all supported keywords/attributes...

Anybody know?
