It is really easy :-)

In order to always show the Windows after Compile/Run, you should set an option in the Windows settings, like so (Mind you, I am translating from Dutch to English):

Hi,
I found this viewtopic.php?f=19&t=61946 article, but it refers to MacOS, but alas, I am on Windows.
Is there a way to do such a thing in Windows?
TIA.

Thx. But that was not the question at all I indeed did find it on the web.

My bad. Question was not clear.

What I am after is (in general):
1. how and where to instaal an external library (like PurePDF
2. how to access the library (functions) from within a PB program

Hi guys,

I need the PurePDF library.
But then I do not know how to use it. Found 1159 topics on searching for "library" which is quite overwhelming ;-)

So, can anybody point me to a (the) correct topic for this?

So I am interested in:
- where to put the ZIP file (or should I unzip it?)
- use ...

Would greatly simplify concurrent programming with lots and lots of coroutines running together.

Hi Little John,

thanks for the great answer. Indeed I missed the duplicate times, caused by creating dummy files in a hurry

Hi, the following program (PB 5.30) is called as follows:
clrbkup 3 txt d:\dir
The program then should remove the oldest files having extension txt and keep the most recent 3 with that extension in the specified directory.

The reason for this error might be sought in Windows Updates. It is a fact that every Windows update creates more problems than it ...

Thanks! I agree I shouldn't have missed that one
However, it bothers me a bit that the option for Caption is available even when the specified gadget does not use it ...

I added an Editor gadget to a form. I specify a Caption (Caption is a variable? is unchecked).
The caption never shows up on the preview of the gadget.
Also, when I change to code view and back again, the caption has been removed from the properties.

Hi,

when you run a Google search with the string "This program cannot display the webpage" you will see that there seems to be malware that generates that message exactly.
In my opinion the free downloadable MBAM antmalware here http://www.malwarebytes.org/ would be a good choice to try and remove ...

Thanks!!!

That's a pity!
Any other library available for that functionality?

Hi,
when I use this
OpenConsole()
MySMTPServer.s = "smtp.gmail.com"
MySMTPPort.l = 465
rc.l = PureSMTP_OpenSMTPConnection(MySMTPServer, MySMTPPort)
Debug rc
the operation seems to hang. When I quit the Purebasic console I get a debug screen with code -3.
Any ideas why this doesn't work?
Thx.
