Splitter gadget - minimal size

Is there a way to tell the splitter gadget to keep a minimal size for the resized gadgets? I now end up in a situation where the related gadgets become invisible (size 0).

Re: Alternative for RunProgram

Thanks all! I remembered playing around with this in the past, and suddenly recalled I wrote a procedure for this ages ago :-) (Probably stole it from someone... credits to the unknown creator then :-) )

Memory, and too busy with other things than programming :-)

Alternative for RunProgram

Hi peeps. I've been gone for quite a while (doing lots of other stuff) but I need to build a little tool right now, and I'll (obviously) do so in PureBasic. I'm looking for something (and I know I've seen it somewhere on the forum, but I can't find it back).

What's the best way to launch / open ...

Re: Text to speech - Using Amazon Polly / S3 services from within PureBasic

Now I wonder, did anyone figure out a way to use the 'new' Windows 10 / 11 voices? They are pretty good compared with Amazon Polly and the old Sapi 5 voices.

I Googled a bit, but couldn't find any reference. Looks like it's MS only?

Re: PB.Ex Speech (Windows)

Ah... Oh well, using the example in the other post then. I always try to program without any DLLs or Libs, reducing my dependencies on any such.

Re: Text to speech - Using Amazon Polly / S3 services from within PureBasic

Interestingly, it won't run on my Win 10 and Win 11 machine, as it is trying to open those .DLLs that are in the archive

In other words, the sample includes those DLLs, and the code tries to open them. Without those DLLs it doesn't run.

Can you run it on your machine without those DLLS?

Re: Text to speech - Using Amazon Polly / S3 services from within PureBasic



That's similar to the code I found on the forum. (It might be the same code, actually.)

But it's using some DLL that isn't found. Any suggestions?


What dlls? It's only SAPI5 of Windows you don't need more.


The example in that post includes some DLLs, doesn't it? (You have me mightily ...

Re: PB.Ex Speech (Windows)

This looks interesting, but where do those DLLs come from?
