Hi everyone,

I am trying to use 1way activex in a PB program via ComatePlus and I'm having problems with setting up the calls properly. :(

1way is an ActiveX control which provides a way to create a time-limited trial version of an application. I had used it before in VB
The way it's supposed to ...

Original post updated to check for empty string or sign only (+/-) passed to IsNumeric


;if empty string or sign only (+ or -) was passed
If string = ""
ProcedureReturn #False
EndIf

and corresponding test


Debug IsNumeric("-")
Debug IsNumeric("+")
Debug IsNumeric("")

I don't have an answer for the PB syntax error you pointed out.


True means I do not have to alter the number prior to passing to my procedures.

IsNumeric() takes a string as input so you still have to use Val(), ValF() or ValD() to use that string in computations.

Using ValF() or ValD() on the ...

Skywalk,
you missed my note regarding hex numbers and scientific notations in my original posting.

what do you mean by "not recognized by PB"?

Debug IsNumeric("-.0") = 1, but not recognized by PB
Debug IsNumeric("-.1") = 1, but not recognized by PB

I needed to use IsNumeric() that returns true or false only so I coded this. Maybe someone would also find this useful. I added comments as best as I can.

This version takes only 1 parameter - input can be integer or float, signed or unsigned, with or without comma-separators.
It returns just 2 ...

maybe you could consider writing a book that is similar to

It's working now. Thanks a lot for the help.

Hi,

I need help with inserting a record into an MS-Access table.
All fields for the table were defined as text fields.
My program would not insert a record into the MS-Access table.
Portions of the code were copied from postings found here in the forum.
I am currently using PB v4.1

Shown below ...

Just found this code - I have some VB programs that downloads webpages and extracts info from them. They can now be converted to PureBasic. This is really helpful and useful stuff.

Thanks a lot!!!

got to view the individual frames (just took a quick drive home :lol: ) anyways the individual frames viewed sequentially frame-by-frame only go in one direction!

...also got the image to change direction at will by covering the main image for a few seconds and concentrating on the reflection as ...

all I meant is run the gif thru a something like gifsplitter to see the individual frames (I don't have it here and can't install it - work policy)

I agree it would be good to have it in PB - I also miss it coming from VB myself.

For me, I first saw it counter-clockwise/anti-clockwise, then I saw it go clockwise after reading the accompanying article.

...just a thought, anybody tried decompiling the gif animation? maybe they actually have it going both ways ....messing with anyone who comes across it.

Got it.

Thanks for your help!

I wonder what you want to do.
you create Imagegadgets for each card, but want them to disappear right away?


I am not making any specific application using PB right now. I just wanted to find out how to erase any graphics from a window. ImageGadget command draws the cards on the window as ...
