PureBasic Forums - English

Thank you, I overlooked that piece of information!

So... since Engine3D is OpenGL only and PlayMovie() needs a WindowID (or ScreenID)... that means you can't play movies anymore when using Engine3D? That would be quite dissapointing...

PureBasic 6.02 LTS on Windows 11

With OpenGL (default subsystem) ScreenID() always returns null .
But ScreenID() works fine with subsystems DirectX9 and DirectX11 .

I posted a workaround for C and ASM backend (x64 and x86) on another thread:

My workaround for linked lists and maps. Works with ASM and C backend on x64 and on x86: EnableExplicit

In my humble opinion it would be better, if the "Debug" keyword would always output quad values.
The reason is, that when using "Debug" to do a quick check, you sometimes get wrong values on overflow condition.

l.l = 1
q.q = 1

a.q = 1 << 63
b.q = l << 63
c.q = q << 63
Debug a ; output always ...

Hi there,

I would also prefer a proper "SetMenuItemImage()", but the following code shows how to at least get the the job done without destroying and recreating the whole menu:

CreateImage(0, 16, 16, 32, #PB_Image_Transparent)

CreateImage(1, 16, 16, 32)
StartDrawing(ImageOutput(1))
For y = 0 To ...

I think, #PB_Editor_ProductVersion is sometimes interpreted as a float value and sometimes as a string...

; 1. open IDE menu "Compiler > Compiler Options..."

; 2. Go to tab "Version Info"

When using the "insert" feature of the IDEs' Structure Viewer, then "StuctureUnion" and "EndStuctureUnion" gets (kind of...) misinterpreted as a structure field, but gets inserted as a "nameless" field.

Although this is a very clear description (feel the sarcasm :wink:), here is how to reprocude it ...

Thanks Bisonte! Yes, that is a viable way! I completely forgot these two functions!

But IMHO it still would be nice to have #PB_Canvas_InnerWidth and #PB_Canvas_InnerHeight so you can get the information without Start/StopDrawing(CanvasOutput()).

(Hmmm... Why don't I get an email on replies ...

At the Moment it is hard to determine the inner size of a CanvasGadget when it was created with #PB_Canvas_Border flag.
So it would be nice to have #PB_Canvas_InnerWidth and #PB_Canvas_InnerHeight for GetGadgetAttribute() (as an equivalent to #PB_ScrollArea_InnerWidth and #PB_ScrollArea_InnerHeight ...

When navigating through the IDE menu using Alt-shortcuts you're getting wrong menu items called (at least in one case, see example), if IDE language is set to German.

Example (IDE set to German):
Press " Alt+D " to open " D atei " menu. --> menu opens ...

Debug NO_redirect::Cos(#PI)

The above does not work [...]

Even this does not work:

Debug NO_redirect::Cos(NO_redirect::#PI) Well... this finally breaks the (odd) logic again... :lol:


EDIT: Removed mistakable joking.


By the way, introducing a "mindwind" module doesn't work either (mind the ...

Hi there,

is the following code really meant to be working? It's logic seems consistent to me, but I really expected some complaint from the compiler! :shock:

Unfortunately it isn't possible anymore to swap whole arrays using the keyword Swap (PB 5.42).

I really would appreciate if this feature would be reintroduced with the addition to swap lists and maps.

I know, that this is located somewhere on the borderline between bug and feature request.
I posted this in the bug section because it is actually correct PureBasic syntax, although it's usage and the need for it may be a topic for a discussion. ;)
So Demivec, I mostly agree with your posting. The ...
