Just out of curiosity...
Have you created your own text editor based on Canvas, or do you use Mr.L's?
Hint: Nice Implementation of PBEdit - a Canvas-based Texteditor

Looks nice. Very well done.
Surely something for the showcase area.

Yes, for me this constant and it's name (as well as the other two (#PB_Editor_BuildCount, #PB_Editor_CompileCount)) is somehow strange. I have already considered this issue here: #PB_Editor_CreateExecutable not recognized

EnableExplicit ; <= my favorite command!! :lol: I hate it, never i use it :lol:
Sometime i regret....after one hour lost :mrgreen:

well, I completely understand that. And I accept it anyway. I know it's difficult to insert it retrospectively.
That's why it's one of my first commands, so ...

So you're looking for a function similar to what Debugger | Callstack does at runtime?

Regarding some of the statements, I would say:
It's a question of personal programming style.
However, I believe that, in addition to functionality, “clean” implementation is also a decisive quality criterion.
To be honest, though, I stopped imposing my coding style on others a long time ago ...

I don't have a solution either, just a few thoughts.
I think this is an internal PB issue. The progress bar gadget is (probably) a child of the status bar.... (Classname = "msctls_progress32")
As I see it, the WinAPI only handles text in the status bar....

Maybe you have to send the new width also ...

On windows this could work
1. Find window handle
2. Send message to the window with topmost style
Sorrry cannot provide code, because i am on mobile phone.

The ListIconGadget has 4 different display modes that can be changed from PB (see in Help )
For more changes to the styles you need some api function calls. Search for something like LVS_ALIGNLEFT.
If you are working with Windows, you can achieve full control by drawing the content yourself.
There ...

@tatanas:
I'm not sure I fully understand what you want to do.
I can share some thoughts about the windows implementation.
If you want change the color of lines, words or sections and not the entire control you could use the richtext feature of the EditorGadget.
The problem here is, that this ...

I guess it's to separate the user residents from the originals.
Advantage: you don't have to check for overwriting!?

BTW: I use this code to be on the safe side.....
#OriginalResFiles$ = "Expat.res Interface.res InterfaceDX.res OpenGL.res PureBasic.res Scintilla.res WebView2.res Windows.res ...

Sometimes I wish there was a (sensible) naming convention (Namespace, Module, etc.) for all constants, commands, and functions. That would make adding new libraries and system functions more future-proof.
Even if it's not very likely, the new names could lead to conflicts with existing code. (Just ...

Shouldn't there be a limit on the length of function names? (Just kidding.)
Keep up the good work, and continue to surprise me.

I have the same situation/problem when calling the pb compiler with RunProgram().
And in this particular case, it is not because CRLF is being waited for during reading, because the same result is obtained with ReadProgramData().

My solution (which ...

There was a brief statement from Fred that this subfolder could make sense.
But I think that for this to become a reality, it needs to be properly added to the wish list...
