PureBasic Forums - English

Good point. I have a 34" screen and use PureBasic on 50% of the screen.
Then the icons are indeed a bit small.

Hey,

I'm glad you mentioned the batch file method.
I asked ChatGPT (or was it Copilot or GROK) if it was possible to change the CurrentDirectory with a Windows API. For security reasons, this isn't possible.
It is indeed changed, even with RunProgram or SetCurrentdir(), or an API, but once CMD ...

doesn't seem to work. In fact, CMD.EXE runs on top of the existing CMD.EXE.

I've excluded the PowerBASIC folder and projects from testing in Windows Defender.
I'll keep trying and see what happens.

DEBUG "The number is " + result

Previous Bookmark: ALT + Up key .
Here too, you saw a bookmark icon on the left.
Very fast and fun to use this way. So it would be great if ...

When I create an OpenConsole() program, I can use 256 ANSI colors.
I can also use ANSI control characters like background, underline, etc.
But when I enable EnableGraphicalConsole(1 ...

Yes, search these forums. Here's an alignment solution (diskay's post) -> https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=549974#p549974


Oh, it works for me. Thxalot BarryG.
Now it would be nice if I could get a full row in a different color (foreground/backcolor). So not individual cells. I ...

About the ListIconGadget: it would be nice if you could indicate in the AddGadgetColumn that you want to right-align or center it.
Or in AddGadgetItem after the chr(10) example give a chr(9) so that the text aligns to the right.
At SetGadgetColor you can specify the color for the entire List. Not ...
