PureBasic Forums - English

Thanks all, there's enough info here to enable me to progress my first PB application. I like Eddy's one-liner but that's not dismissing the other info put forward, I'll have to study it to make sense of it.

Thank you, looks like that makes sense, after visiting the Enumeration help page. I'll fiddle with this over the weekend.

Hope someone can help. I have the following function which builds a menu structure and adds from zero 'recent folders' (directory paths) to many items. The directory paths are retrieved from a linked list.

Procedure BuildMenu()
If CreateMenu(#MENU_BAR, WindowID(#WIN_MAIN))
MenuTitle("File ...

I can see that in your example, you are effectively re-creating the whole menu structure after deleting it.

I've got something to work with now, thanks.

Is it possible to create menu items after the initial window/menu creation routine.

What I'm wanting to do, for tutorial purposes, is create or add menu items to an already created menu structure ie 'recent folders' menu item under the 'File' menu.

If this is possible, any chance of a quick ...

Thanks for replies and I've briefly checked out PurePDF.

I use Foxit, is heaps better than Acrobat, quicker and smaller.

To expand a little further, what I'm wanting to do is in batch fashion, edit pdf files residing in a particular directory. The process would be to open each pdf file and insert ...

Can someone point me in the right direction. Is it possible, using PB, to edit PDF files. What I'm wanting to do is simply whack some text in either the header or footer area of the document.

Thank you.

I know I'll be kicking myself when the answer arrives but how do you set a button gadget to be enabled or disabled (active - can be clicked or inactive - can't be clicked).

Ok, I'm populating a ListIconGadget with a list of files from a directory. The intention being to batch rename the files. An obvious option is to sort the files by name or date etc. prior to passing the files through a rename procedure.

It's the sorting bit that I'm stumbling on. What are my ...

Thanks all, got that bit nutted out.

I'm new to PB and for tutorial purposes I'm creating a simple batch file rename program.

I'm using the gadgets, ExplorerTree and ListIconGadget (for the multiple columns). So far I can navigate via the ExplorerTree gadget and populate the ListIconGadget with a listing of files (filename & date ...

Thanks, I'll put this one down to 'just one of those things' to watch out for. Even modifying as suggested, the whole snippet doesn't work as intended.

For future reference I suppose it's just a matter of assigning each of those error codes/messages to separate variables and then join them.

The following is from the book, Purebasic - A beginners guide, but the end result is not as per the book. As written, the message box appears, for me, under Vista, only refers to the last Text.s + "Error occurred in module..." part and only the variable portion, GetErrorModuleName(). That is the ...

Thanks all, it gives me something to work with.

I'm seeing similarities with C++ where all the prototypes must be defined prior to the calling of the "main()" program, though in Purebasic's case it's the entire definition of the procedures and functions prior to calling the main loop (or starting ...
