PureBasic Forums - English

I just downloaded and installed 4.41 (I had 4.3?), recompiled and voila! It works properly!

Sorry for any inconvenience .. should have done this first, I guess.

I wrote a utility that I use to determine whether I need to update a file or not.

The code in question is as follows:

Result = GetFileDate(zfile$,#PB_Date_Modified)
zdate$ = FormatDate("%mm/%dd/%yyyy", result)
ztime$ = FormatDate("%hh:%ii:%ss", result)

I then write zdate$+ztime$ to a text file ...

Thanks Luis,

Tells me what I need to know. It's a rarity that I use my PureBasic, so I don't know whether I will write some input function or not, but if I do, I will let you know. I just wrote a Sudoku solver that gets the numbers from data statements. Now that I have it working, I need to have a ...

Thanks for the reply. I did a print of the variable, as you suggested, and then did an input in the same location, using consolelocate .. this could work, but isn't there a way to move around in an input field to edit. For example, if you make a typo, you can't use the arrow key to go back and ...

if I do something like this ... name.s = input() and let's say "Johnny" was entered. Now I want to allow the user to edit this variable .. sounds dumb, but I have been unable to figure out how to do this. Hopefully, I have just overlooked the command, etc..

Thanks,

Thanks all,

It's starting to sink in!

NetMaestro,

Thank you so much for responding. It would be great if you have some code that shows how you are doing this. Hard to believe, but I am just now trying to make the transition into windows programming. I have tried several times before, but gave up since I had plenty of Clipper work. Now ...

I'm an old Clipper programmer. When I wanted to show a browse of dBase records, it was easy. I finally figured out how to open a sql server database in PB. Now I just need to know how to show a browse on a screen, both editable and view only. I have searched the help file and have been unable to ...

I'm just now getting serious about learning my PureBasic that I purchased awhile back. I notice in so much of the example code and other code snippets, that debug seems to be the message printer of choice. Why is this? There has to be a reason other than typing a shorter name, but it is escaping me ...

I apologize for not doing a search before posting my request ... I should have realized that I wasnot the only one with this problem. Will try to do better in the future.

Can anyone tell me how you could check to see if your program is already running and, if so, give focus to that window? I don't want more than 1 instance of the program running, but have not figured out a way to do this.

Ricardo,

There are many. I have one that is used for recruiting health care professionals, another that tracks adverse drug reactions for the animal pharmeceutical industry and does the FDA reporting on Form 1932, several that are for telemarketing and a number of HR type applications. My first ...

Mitch,

My Grandma lived at 2416 Hilton Ave. My uncle Don owned Don's Men's Shop. My best friends were Johnny Justice and Jim Bob Underwood. Ever heard of them? Send me an email so we don't clutter up the forum msgs

I still make my living supporting my legacy Clipper apps! The amazing thing is that I have 3 Fortune 500 clients still using my app. I notice you're in KY. I have a lot of family in Ashland and spent a lot of time there as a kid.

Thank you so much. The way you described worked. I was unable to find anywhere in the docs to click on the text box and expand a window AFTER you click on a control. I guess they assume you are a Windows programmer and understand the methodology. I must seem like a real dummy but I assure you that I ...
