Can a Pointer be Global?

I need to use pointers in procedures (from where imported functions are called) and do not want to pass them as parameters, but instead have access to them as global.

It works fine as long as I have the call for the imported function in the main program, but when I move ...

Is there anything similar to block remark /* this is a remark */ in PB?
I'm mising it to remark several lines of code instead of adding a semicolon before each line.

Thanks for the example

Is ANSI-encoding only available in the EditorGadget, or?
If so, then is it possible to "lock" the text so that it's NOT editable? (as I only want to present text).

I want to create a string of characters from different fonts to be printed into a suitable gadget (preferable a TextGadget, but if that's not possible any other gadget for presenting text in a window is acceptable). For instance, one character from the font Courier followed by a character from the ...

Is there any way to set the TAB positions in a TextGadget, so when CHR(9) for Tabulated positioning is sent, the printed text appear at the right, pre-defined tabulated positions?

Thanks!

BTW. Is it possible to combine different fonts in a string that is printed in a TextGadget?

What is the equivalent to the object "StaticText" (MultiLine) that is found in VisualBasic? I cannot see anything similar in the "Visual Designer". Is there any better designer tool than "Visual Designer"?

Ok, thanks.

So this mean that it's possible to have more than one (1) line with ProcedureReturn in a subroutine.

What is the equivalent to "EXIT SUB", that is, how to exit from a subroutine before reaching the EndSubroutine. The "Break" command only exit from the current loop. And "Break #" (where # is the number of the nested loop) only exit from the that number of nested loops. I prefer not to use "Goto ...

Mathematically speaking you're right. But Since the integer part of the number shows the signum (+/-) of the number there's no need for the fractional part of the same number to show this.

Thanks. I realised that there was no inbuilt function for this so I wrote a procedure as follows...


Procedure.d Fraction (innumber.d)
absnumber.d = Abs (innumber.d)
fraction.d = absnumber - Round (absnumber, 0)
ProcedureReturn fraction.d
EndProcedure

...since it must work with negative ...

Is there any simple way to get the fraction part out from a double?
The result must be a double as well.

Can anyone explain the following?

---------------------------
OpenConsole()

tmp.d = 195.0344317566
PrintN (StrD (tmp.d) )
---------------------------
; will print: "195.0344317566" which is correct
; but if I now want the integer part and the decimal part in two separate
; variables I try with ...

Yes, the return value is a long, which in this case is a value to control if the calculations within the functions was done correctly or not.

However, I must also be able to read some of the parameters (here delcared as Global), which have been calculated within the function, and especially the ...

It can be done in C and it can be done Visual Basic, so I don't understand why PureBasic cannot handle this - returning an array of doubles from an external function call.

I had the impression that PB would be a more sophisticated language than VB, but apparently not. Or?

Is this a problem with ...
