Great. That's done it. I was looking in the wrong place. I thought it had something to do with SetAttribute.

Thanks.

I have been using the excellent GoScintilla for syntax highlighting and bookmarks but I'm not really sure I want line numbering. I've looked through the documentation but I can't see a way to turn line numbering off. Probably there but I've just missed it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Excellent idea. I tried it and it works

Thanks for all your help in getting this sorted!

Haven't managed to find a flag that works yet.

hmmm......I've just found one sneaky way round the problem. If I use your API code to create a window but don't actually show it then I can open a window using PB code in the normal way and use all the usual line drawing code provided by PB.

All I really need to do is be able to draw line segments to the window which has just been created. I'm guessing that can be done through the API as well although I will need to read up how to do that. That could be one way forward.

I haven't yet figured out your other suggestion. I know that it ...

Fantastic. Creating a window through the API works. Thanks.

Your suggestion about the common controls is the best clue I have so far. I'll have a look at your links and try some experiments.

Many thanks

Hi Luiz,

I should have taken out Returnstring because it is not relevant. It can be replaced by a fixed string like this:
ProcedureDLL.s MyMessage()
MessageRequester("Hello", "This is a PureBasic DLL !", #PB_MessageRequester_YesNo )
If Result = #PB_MessageRequester_Yes
a$ + "Yes"
Else
a ...

I am learing how to write DLLs and have put togethet this very simple one.


ProcedureDLL.s MyMessage()
MessageRequester(Returnstring(), "This is a PureBasic DLL !", #PB_MessageRequester_YesNo )
If Result = #PB_MessageRequester_Yes
a$ + "Yes"
Else
a$ + "No"
EndIf
ProcedureReturn a ...

Excellent! Thanks. Problem solved.

Various GoScintilla examples including Folding, Demo_Simple1 and Demo_Bookmarks1 all run correctly from the PB IDE but don't work when compiled. The window pops up but there is no Scintilla gadget, just a grey screen. In the case of the bookmark example, the menu doesn't appear. I've used them ...

I'll try to find out. Thanks.

Thank you both for your suggestions. Unfortunately no luck with either. (I tried them seperately and together)

The puzzling thing (in view of freak's comments) is that when I run the other program on its own from the command line it returns each input immediately.

I would like to use RunProgram to run a process and collect the output. The problem is that PureBasic seems to hold the output in a buffer and only releases it when the process ends.
These two PureBasic programmes show what I want:


;Prog1
If OpenConsole()

For i = 1 To 10
A$ = Input()
A ...
