PureBasic Forums - English

Hi all,

A few days ago I got PureBasic to run on my Windows 7 64-Bit computer. Easy enough. I then transferred a zillion and two files from the other computer for all sorts of things but mainly data, archives, and code. So, I don't know if it is a coincidence or something else affected it. Anyway ...

I forget when I started using Purebasic but I still use it to this day. I've programmed in who knows how many computer languages in my long career but never have I enjoyed one as much as this. It's even helped me during my time of unemployment by bringing in a little extra through a little DLL I ...

Thanks a lot to all the current beta testers, it's very much appreciated !

Fred, I'm sure most of the community feels the same way when I say, "No. Instead I Thank you! " 4.40 as some features that have made my programming simpler and more powerful than before. And I've seen programs that are ...

I looked around and haven't found a request like this yet. Maybe I'm looking for it in the wrong way. Just in case, here is what I have in mind:

Global NewList abc(3)

Procedure AddXtoList(group, x)
AddElement(abc(group))
abc(group) = x
EndProcedure

For i = 1 To 10
AddXToList(Random(3), i ...

Hellakewl!

Hi Mistral,

I tried that too. Vista and apparently Windows 7 somehow 'leak'. I can get it to return a string about eight times before it crashes now instead of immediately. However, I'm going to play around with it again and see.

I'll report any findings in a little while.

Thanks Srod and Mistral ...

Hi Srod,

I'm not used to buffers so that might actually be the way to go to be on the safe side. Could you give me a simple example?

Apparently PB 4.xx has made some improvements. I just found that I no longer need to worry with addresses and pointers. All I had to do was define the procedure as procedure.s and simply return gret$. No @ or * or anything of the sort.

It was one of those moments where I said, "I've tried ...

I commented out the closelibrary() function and it didn't make a difference for XP which is good. It did affect Vista in that it partially worked. Now it only crashes the majority of the time instead of all the time.

I'm not sure I understand fully what it does. This is the header that is given in their tutorial on how to do this.

It works in XP flawlessly. In fact, before I stripped it down to what you see here, it was retrieving data from a file, massaging it, and giving back an answer in the form of a string ...

Hi all,

I wrote a simple DLL for Dark Basic Pro and it returns a string without a problem in XP. In Vista, unless I put the compatibility mode in Win 98/Me, it crashes. Does anyone have any ideas as to why it works flawlessly in one and not the other? (Code below)

In the past the program had path variables to achieve that but I removed them on the way, thinking that nobody would need them.

Well, put them back!!! :D

I'll try this and let you know. I said I'd have this done last weekend and I forgot about it until yesterday.

Thanks, let me put this ...

Hi Inf0Byt3,

I've got a situation and I don't know if it is unusual but maybe you have a work around.

I wrote a DLL for a company whose product installed itself in my C:\Documents and Settings\ All Users \Start Menu\Programs... directory and they want me to have my installation for the read me ...

Thanks Gnozal,

It was a little while later that I spotted the beta version and downloaded it. The internal map system seems to work so far and had this request inside it.

I don't know when 4.40 becomes final so I'm keeping it and 4.31 just in case. Since 4.31 doesn't have mapping, your routines ...

#PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue :?:

True, that would work. I had forgotten about that little internal value. I could then, hypothetically, use #TotalCount = #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue. I'll give that a shot.

[Edit] It actually returns the next one so if the last value is 4, #PB_Compiler ...
