Thank you both for your help.
I got it solved with something Axolotl said.
I checked the Issues section before and found three items, but one didn't make sense.
So I went back and checked that one.
I changed the color on that item, and low and behold, it eliminated the issue.
I then deleted that ...

I have been using PureBasic 6.04 LTS (Windows - x86) on Windows 10
For some reason the Background Color setting for Comments in the IDE must have disappeared ?
Because my code ;comments has recently changed to a dark gray background, which makes it a lot harder to read and is more distracting.
I don ...

First of all, I want to apologize. When I wrote that last part late yesterday, I guess I was half asleep after a long day.
I woke up at 3 am this morning, and suddenly realized what I had entered and wanted to correct that entry because it didn't
make sense. I copied code in there that wasn't ...

I really appreciated all the good suggestions and help and interesting ways to approach this.

Because in my case, I just needed to get the first combined parameter of the file path and file name.
I just used the following:

; FirstParm$ = Running data that was passed to my running program
;eg: "D ...

For Example:
When I use Windows Explorer to select an rtf file, it automatically opens that selected file in the default rtf running program.
When I use Windows Explorer to select an rtf file, and select Open With , it lets me select an alternate program to open that rtf file, and then opens it in ...

Is it possible write a PB program that can be used to open a mouse selected file on the main 'Desktop?

For example:
When you click on an object in a 'PB window', you get a response reaction.
For instance if you click on a ButtonGadget, it activates to what ever you have it programmed to do.

On the ...

Thanks for your reply Marc56us
But I thought that was mainly for use with console programs , unless I am looking at it wrong?
I will try using it later as I have to leave in a few minutes.
But I distinctly remember doing a different way some time ago from help from one of those old time experts
from ...

Thanks for your reply Infratec
That's precisely the point. I wrote the second program, so I know what and where I need to use those parameters.
But I need help with the code needed in order to retrieve the parameters that were sent.
I forgot how to do it ?

I have this probably simple problem that I would appreciate some help on.
I run this first program, and then use special keys to start up this second program (a ruler program ) which I use for measuring things on my first program.
What I wanted to do, is to get and send to the second program, the ...

Thank you BarryG and Andre for your help on this.
I guess I have to chuckle on this. I have used the StartPosition successfully in the past to eliminate searching beginning string
sections that don't need to be searched, but I guess I always thought that the default start position was the first ...

Start position [, StartPosition [, Mode]]) is optional and is only useful if you want to do your search after a certain string position.
For example in the code: p1 and p2 use the same code except for the string to find
p1 displays 7 showing StartPosition is not needed.
In the case of p2. #PB_String ...

The following FindString #PB_String_NoCasecode always worked before, but it stopped working in this latest version?
I really need this fixed, as I use it a lot in some of my code. I now have to revert back to using LCase or UCase for each FindString ...

Hi Marc56us
Your right. It's a 32 bit lib, so it won't compile under a 64bit program compiler.
Yet it works real well on my Windows 10 64bit Desktop, that I didn't even try to compile it because of that.

Thanks very much for that link though.
It looks very interesting, and I may look more into that ...

Experimented and found the solution

Just remove qrcodelib.dll and qrcodelib.lib out of you compiler directory and place them in your
programs code directory. Then change the previous ImportC code to reflect that new location.

eg: My programs directory is : D:\MyPB_pgms\QrCode

ImportC "D:\MyPB ...

I am having the same issue as bhatkins2000, and get the same error message.

I am using PureBasic 5.72
and use the following code

ImportC "qrcodelib.lib"
QRcode_encodeString8bit(Text.p-ascii, Version.l, QRecLevel.l) As "_QRcode_encodeString8bit"
QRcode_free(*Qrcode.QRCode) As "_QRcode_free ...
