Why not pausing the updates for "some" years? :-)

That's how I did it. The normal driver updates and ...

I understand the technical background, the historically developed behavior, and also that people may have gotten used to it and that a change could probably break some code. And even if mk-soft says, “I don't understand the problem,” I can understand that in one way or another. Namely, if you've ...

Hi,
It's only a minor detail, but why does the “Step” parameter have to be specified explicitly for downward counting >For loops< and not for upward counting >For loops<?

If “For i = 10 To 0” automatically used a step of -1 in the same way that “For i = 0 To 10” uses a step of 1, it would be more ...

Thanks for the quick tip, Stargate. That works.
I would have preferred to set it separately, but at least this way I can choose a font that works reasonably well for both panels.

Hello fellows,

Maybe I'm overlooking something, but I'm wondering how I can change the font in the PureBasic IDE console. I'm referring to the panel below the area where the source code is edited; the area where the internal debugger displays its output. I'm currently using PB 6.21 x64

It has a ...

Hi everyone,

I used to work with the small but old PureBasic IDE tool "Alt-F1.exe" , which allowed searching for the word under the cursor via Google and in the PureBasic forums. That tool was handy, but it required an external EXE file.
I’ve now replaced it with a pure PowerShell script which ...

You must not forget that speech recognition does not take place in real time on your computer. In the case of WebView2, the Microsoft Azure Speech Service (cloud-based) is probably used.

This means that your spoken recording is first sent as an audio file to Microsoft's server, where it is ...

An impressive code. Thank you very much, Infratec. While testing with this code snippet, I noticed that a directory called “PureBasic_Compilation0.exe” is created under “C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming,” which contains many more subdirectories and data. I suspect this is created by WebView2 ...

Absolutely, let's toast with a beer.

But which one is best to choose? According to the German Brewers' Association, there are so many German beers that you could drink a different German beer brewed according to the purity law every day for 15 years!

Yes, of course.
You yourself are always your worst enemy. Your expectations, your self-doubt, your (lack of) knowledge, your ego, your fears... etc.

I can understand the explanation on a technical level...

If the parser stops nicely at the “ü” and the supposed variable ‘Hütte’ is only marked internally as “H,” then the error output has virtually no choice but to output “H.”

...but it may be confusing for inexperienced users if only the first ...

Invalid variable names with umlauts are truncated after the umlaut in the debugger's error description.

Copy the following code into the IDE and press F5

EnableExplicit

If Hütte = 1
; nothing
EndIf


The message will be:
Line 3: Variables must be declared for ‘EnableExplicit’; H.

If you ...

No, don't worry, I'm not upset at all. GPT-5 already made this suggestion to compile the sources. It's just my personal quirk, or rather my extreme distractibility, that makes me reluctant to deal with these constantly popping up subtopics.

Wait a minute, you're saying there's a new version of “app X”? The old version doesn't run on your new OS, but this old version has been discontinued and can't be upgraded. Is that correct?

So who is producing the (unpaid) new version of “app X”? It must be another company that is continuing to ...

Can't you compile the dev version ?

To be honest, I haven't considered it.

I'm a bit “weird” in that regard and refuse to install additional software and compile something just to test something (unless I already have the compilation environment installed on my computer). In cases like this, I ...
