Why are the new data breakpoints disabled before starting the pgm? Why are the breakpoints gone after stopping the pgm run so they have to be recaptured each time? Is this a bug or a feature?

Maybe this is the best workaround for the time being? Only only one init command per structure (+1 generic macro):

Macro InitCopyStruct(struc)

Structure work#struc
struc.struc[0]
EndStructure

Procedure copyStruct#struc(*a.work#struc,*b.work#struc)
*b\struc = *a\struc
EndProcedure ...

Thanks, IDE seems to be more stable now.
But pls, what is a non-declared array?

When I tab through several checkboxes w/o xp skin I see a dotted rectangle that indicates the checkbox having the focus; when I activate xp skin I see nothing and must guess where I am currently - a behaviour which I nearly consider as a bug. (XP/PB 4.31 and 4.4b5)

So how can I indicate the focus ...

Hi, gnozal, PureLVSORT_GetFilterString is not working properly under Win7, as it seems to me. For columns where the user hasn't entered anything it returns garbage instead of empty string, with Pb 4.31 and 4.40b5.

You must transform the infix notation of the equation into postfix (or Reverse Polish Notation), then you can evalutate it easyly. If search for these terms you will find some hints.

Thanks helpy for your answer, but that doesn't solve the problem. The issue is that the main thread is able to do something apart from just waiting for an event - without slowing down the second thread terribly.

But thinking about your suggestion I found another solution. Instead of doing:
While ...

Can anybody pls explain me why the thread in the following example is so slow compared to directly executing it:

If OpenWindow(0, 216, 0, 602, 302, "PureLVSORT Test", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_TitleBar | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
ListIconGadget(0, 5, 5, 590, 285, "String", 110 ...

With Minimize the StickyWindow is not neccessary of course.

Thanks all for your support. For my purpose the Minimize workaround is sufficient, using Stickywindow to force the window opening on top, which is required on XP too.

But generally speaking I would also consider it as a bug as there is no reasonable explanation to be seen. When the second window ...

Does anybody have an idea why window/gadget 0 does not get the keyboard focus, whatever I do?
Procedure test(x)
hwnd=OpenWindow(1, 0, 0, 256, 99, "", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered )
If hwnd
TextGadget(#PB_Any, 50, 10, 170, 70, "xxx", #PB_Text_Center)
EndIf
While WindowEvent() : Wend
Delay(1500 ...

So much arguments, only to justify that an Unlock must do the opposite of what it says in certain cases? Very strange....

I used this Unlock to make sure that at a given point the resource was unlocked, regardless what happened before. I find this a quite reasonable approch and cannot see where the problem should be when Unlock always would do what it says.

I found a workaround now - just put a TryLock before - but I ...

Yes, I have a bug - and you a bug-prone interface design ...

I think, this could easily be avoided.

And you can't bypass this "normal Windows behaviour" by maintaining an index whether this mutex is in a lock or not? Of course I can do this in my application, but I would rather see this as a service from PB. One unlock too much and the pgm is hanging - that's a very nasty behaviour.
