Strange behaviour of block symbols in editor gadget.

Why do some characters (namely these symbols: ▀, █ and ►) look shorter and wider in the new version?

This issue seems to have come up with the new msftedit.dll
Is it a Microsoft issue?

The next is how to create Richedit v 4.1

Thanks RASHAD,
however, it seems that the AURL_ENABLE.. parameters are only available in Richedit 7.0, which ships with Office 2010 (see http://blogs.msdn.com/b/murrays/archive/2009/09/01/automatic-richedit-hyperlinks.aspx )

It would be a problem anyhow ...

I am having problems with East Asian URLs (Unicode): they are not recognised properly (using the #EM_AUTOURLDETECT Message).

I know there is a work-around by enclosing them in angle brackets, for example <file:\\D:\帮助文档>, but it seems that Richedit version 4.1 supports East Asian URLs.

Try RemoveEnvironmentVariable()
Sorry, I did not expect this, because I was used to the DOS/Windows behaviour.
Now I always have to remember to use this construct for setting variables:

If Vdrive
SetEnvironmentVariable("Vdrive",Vdrive)
Else
RemoveEnvironmentVariable("Vdrive")
EndIf

Edit ...

SetEnvironmentVariable("Vdrive","")
should purge the variable. Instead the variable still exists (with empty assignment).
The equivalent API function works correctly.

For example (at the console) the command SET Vdrive
should display:
---- The environment variable is not defined
and not ...

ListIcon checkbox status must not be changed by space bar in conjunction with ALT or Ctrl.

ALT+space is reserved for the system menu which may be used to close the window. Very annoying if checkbox status is unintentionally changed (especially when hidden under the menu).
Ctrl+space is reserved for ...

You can also use bit(#a) instead of #a: But I prefer to use the bit macro for the assignment:

if I try to download the 'PopSel by Horst'
I receive a VIRUS warning by NOD32 anti-virus program.

This is the full :!: source code of the "program" RunDemo.exe that caused the alert (tested with Jotti: about half a dozen scanners reported positive).

I guess placement on of the SetGadgetItemState must be critical as I had originally placed this function after each AddGadgetItem and it did not work for me.
Setting the #PB_Tree_Expanded state works well when you do it immediately after adding the first item on the sub-level:

SetGadgetItemState ...

No chance to get these bugs fixed in 4.41 ?

Agree. Just tested the behaviour on the FireFox settings window.

InclOpen is a PB IDE add-on that offers a popup menu of all included files specified in the current source file. Click to open. IncludePaths and relevant constants, like #PB_Compiler_Home are taken into account. The menu shows the file names without path, sorted (option).

Why can't we have GetGadgetText() in case we would like to inform the user about the current shortcut (in a menu, tooltip or any text info)?

It would be easier if we could reassign #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue to the same constant, i.e. #CurrentGadgetEnum = #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue several times instead of using #CurrentGadgetEnum1, #CurrentGadgetEnum2, etc...
A constant that can be changed is not a constant.

It is time to ...
