Have a look at the first post of the beginner's forum it should provide a good starting point.

Hope this helps.

Hi blueznl,

You're perfectly right ! My right monitor was higher than the left one (I didn't know that you could move them in the display properties, I thought it was just a symbolic representation of the screens ...).
Your program now runs perfectly !!! (and may I add that you're a real wizard ...

Hi,

It's better I get :

This is what I get :
monitor 1
primary display
name \\. \Display1\Unit0
handle 4514
pos x 0
pos y 0
width 1280
height 1024
depth 32
refresh 0

monitor 2
name \\. \Display1\Unit1
handle 4576
pos x 1280
pos y - 280 ; INSTEAD OF -65816
width 1024
height 768 ...

I know it's a hack but and that it solves only part of your problem, but this may help ...

blueznl,

What do you mean by monitor 2 is left of 1 ?
Physically, monitor 2 (the one attached to the DVI output), is to the right of monitor 1 and when going from 1 to 2 I drag windows to my right as well.

This is what I get :
monitor 1
primary display
name \\. \Display1\Unit0
handle 4514
pos x 0 ...

Works here except second monitor :
pos y -65816

Hi,

Sure it works ... because you just wrote the same thing (in disguise) twice :

Root(number_to_caculate, the_power) == pow(number_to_caculate, 1/the_power)

as you defined
root( x, y ) = pow( x, 1/y ) ...

but if you try pow( root( x, y ), y ) you should get x, which is not the case try this ...

Guimauve,

Thre is nothing wrong about your procedure, but telling if it works well or not depends on the accuracy you expect, here is a slightly modified version of your code which can help you to see if ir fits your needs.


OpenConsole( )

Procedure.f Root(number.f,power.f)
ProcedureReturn Pow ...

Blueznl,

You are perfectly right (and your code is right as well :) :) :) ) please do accept my apologies.

I wonder however how random is the random function : I ran this code for more than 130 000 iterations :


OpenConsole( )

Ok = 1
i = 1
min_min = 0
max_max = 1000

Repeat

password_n = 500 ...

Hi blueznl,


this will do it...
Code:
password_n = 500
user_n = 200
;
Dim passwords.s(password_n)
Dim gekozenpasswords.s(user_n)
;
For n = 1 To password_n
passwords(n) = "watdanook"+Str(n)
Next n
;
For n = 1 To user_n
r = Random(password_n-1)+1
gekozenpasswords(n) = passwords(r ...

Hi,

I completely agree with you about the bug possibilities, on the other hand it would mean decalring all the variables in my "old" programs, so maybe a slightly better solution : a switch in the compiler options allowing to choose between being obliged to declare or not.

Hi,

well, if there would be a list they wouldn't be undocumented, now would they?

Do you mean it's an undocumented feature ?

Hi,

Is there a simple way to detect the DirectX version in use ?

An is there also a simple way to know if Window Media Player is installed on the computer and its version as well ?

TIA.
