Re: Display images in ListIconGadget - possible ?

Thx for the tip, but ... no, building my own control is out of question. Then I would prefer to use an
external (grid) control or I change the programming language ;-)

I think/hope there is a way to change the contents of the cell. Using CocoaMessageI I can change the formatting,
color and even ...

Re: How to avoid readable strings in EXE file

@NicTheQuick

... that is basically right, but my tables are encrypted. At the moment there is only one (readable) column for primary key and one
additional column for encrypted informations. So you cannot get any usable informations or column names from database.

The question was not only because ...

Re: How to avoid readable strings in EXE file

Hi, found another way to hide strings in exe file:

1. You can use constants instead of strings when possible (Win, Mac)

2. You can use packer for exe files like Molebox, Mpress, ... (Win)
I don't know if there is also a packer for Mac.

Re: How to avoid readable strings in EXE file


The real question is: Do you just want to obfuscate the strings so they are not easily readable or do you want perfect security? The latter is only possible by using an encryption key that does not exist in the executable but has to be entered every time you start the application or something ...

How to avoid readable strings in EXE file

Hi,
many strings and also SQL-Statements are stored as a readable string in an exe file. I want to avoid that.

Is there a workaround so that e.g. SQL statements are not recognizable as text ?

Re: libcurl.pbi

Hi HeXOR,
thanks for the information, I know the thread and your code works really fine on windows - good stuff!

I used libcurl because my application runs on Windows and MAC and I didn't find the necessary libs for libTLS for MAC ;-)
Furthermore libcurl is part of macOS... and I didn't want to ...

Re: libcurl.pbi

That is clear. This shouldn't be the complete code with loop, but just show that a login is required every time you use curl_easy...

Re: libcurl.pbi

Thanks for the info.

Your example shows normal usage of curl_easy. This works for me too (runs in its own thread).
The Problem: Every time you receive a message, a new login is performed (see code below).


curl = curl_easy_init()
If curl
; Set username and password
curl_easy_setopt_str(curl ...
