PureBasic Forums - English

Sorry, my english is terrible.


I use a written Application in Purebasic in our Company to print several things.

So I want now to set a Default-Printer for the Programm. I would not change the Windows-Default Printer.

So I need functions to use a Printer with a ID or Name / Get a System-List of ...

I become a syntax-error, when I start this scrip.

Why?

Without the []-chars it is possible to run the command.

This I found should be fixed.

I installed PureBasic new and the first thing I must change is the Language (from the IDE).

Why do the IDE not ask the OS what the Langauge is when there is no config-file available?

This is only a small change but for the first view I thing the Language-Chage-Function is not easy to find for a ...

Wouldn't It be nice to implement the Cairo Graphic Engine?

Wouldn't it be nice to convert types in a line with .type (.i, .c, .q, ...)?

Example:
Declare var1.i
Declare var2.i

Declare result.i

result = ( (var1).f / (var2).f ).i

; --------------------------------------

Declare str1.s{12} = "Hallo, Welt!"
Declare char.c

char = (str1).c + SizeOf ...

I found namespace's more useful then only prefix-adding for variables.

When you like to add prefixes, you can make a preparser.

But namespace's would be better and very nice.

When I comment this line is the code OK (although I use str2 in the str1 - Structure).

A little bit big as my way but ok.

I look for a compiler-function to get a property from a interface.

Example:
Interface IADsPropertyList
QueryInterface(a, b)
AddRef()
Release()
GetTypeInfoCount(a)
GetTypeInfo(a, b, c)
GetIDsOfNames(a, b, c, d, e)
Invoke(a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h)
get_PropertyCount(a)
Next(a)
Skip(a)
Reset ...

Thanks.

I didn't thought that this is so easy.

Why can I not use LinkedList with prototypes?

I have build a example:

EndProcedure
Procedure Event2(nValue.l)
