I haven't used PureBasic for a while and I've been updating some old scripts to work with V4.5.

The code below is a stripped down version of the basics of a screen saver I was writing. In it's current form it should just show a black screen. My monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080; when I run ...

Thanks srod, Derek and Kaeru Gaman for your replies. I still couldn't justify using the "classic approach", although it was pretty fast!

I liked srod's idea, taking values from a string, but I've implemented Derek's code. I've not noticed the Swap command before, but it seems it offers a much ...

Hi All!

I'm trying to write some code, but I'm stuck for an efficient solution. I have up to 9 buttons, and I want to pass a number between 1 and 9 to a procedure to make x number of buttons light up, but I want this change to affect a random selection of those 9 buttons.
e.g.
For 2 buttons to ...

Who'd have thought a 2ms delay would make it all better!!

@Tranquil: I assume you mean WSAAsyncSelect_() as WSAsyncSelect didn't come up with anything in Google! Do you have a small example? MSDN references are very confusing.

Hi all. I'm writing a server type program. It all works okay, but the program makes the CPU usage go up to 100% and everything else runs slowly. I assume it has something to do with the NetworkServerEvent() on the loop, is there a way around this?

The code is below if it helps!

Is there any way to get the UP and DOWN buttons taller? I think I'll have to have two big standard image buttons instead of a scroll bar.

I like this one too. Are these images freely distributable and in the public domain?

Umm. Not sure that's gonna fit with my applications really. :roll: Thanks for your suggestion though

Are there any PureBasic logos available that I could add to my programs or website?

Thanks again srod, you seem to be answering all my questions recently! The code works a treat - thanks :)

I spent ages searching the internet for sample code to adjust the size of a scroll bar. Couldn't find anything I could understand and adapt. I'll have to make a custom one or think of another ...

Hi, nice code.
Does this only work for Win XP or will it also work on Win 98 etc?
Regards.

I tested the following on Windows 2000 and 98. Works fine!

SetWindowPos_(FindWindow_("Shell_traywnd", ""), 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, #SWP_HIDEWINDOW)
Delay(1200)
SetWindowPos_(FindWindow_("Shell_traywnd", ""), 0, 0 ...

I asked a similar question on the Coding Questions board earlier today.

Hi all,

Is it possible to make your window's scroll bars a larger (or smaller) without adjusting the display settings. I am trying to write a program with a touch screen interface so could do with larger buttons to push!

Also, is it possible to initiate an event by pressing the column headers on a ...

I didn't think of testing it as an executable. I just assumed the code was executed in the same way, whatever. Thanks.

Thanks again srod for a quick reply. Do you just need to filter the EventType for ImageButtons?

See if this helps, it's a little thing I mocked up to get you going in the right direction. You just change my d:\wordconnect\ for your own folder with .jpgs in it:

@netmaestro, you're sample works fine, but if i manually change the filename so that the file doesn't exist the program still ...
