Re: PureBasic 6.40 alpha 1 is ready, surprise inside !
Sounds great and welcome improvement. Now is a good time to combine it with """multiline
string
literals"""

Because XML/HTML/JSON/POSTGET/SQLITE/ text blocks are quite common and concatenating ...

Re: Read STRING GADGET text after ENTER key is pushed ...
Yes the value is correct. Meant is is not predefined anymore. Why is another question.mk-soft wrote: Mon Dec 29, 2025 7:33 am The value is correct.
It is strange that the constant is still present in the Purebasic SDK (Event.h).

Re: Dead keys with keyboard hook - how?
FYI: won't catch all keys... ie anywhere in MS word or in start menu. The application itself prevents passing messages on?

multiline strings?
Finally please? With JSON, HTML, etc handling and the WebViewGadget it is a major concatenation hassle (and inefficient if the compiler doesn't treat it well).

Re: WebViewGadget question
So what MS says to do as best practice is not implemented? Yes I did see that code to mess directly with the interfaces but it doesn't make things Basic exactly. Error prone too. Out of the box the PB gadget provides the bare basics at the moment. Basically ;)

Re: C++ 26 will be a game changer !
C++ is the ugliest and most bloated programming language ever. All programming paradigm are dumped into it in an ugly way. I don't know why you want to use C++ as example of OOP. There are way better examples. v26 does not add anything that changes the fact that it's specification takes 1800+ pages ...

Re: Should I build my own sprite-based UI system or wait?
A UI without keyboard input? Hmm
Do I understand it correctly that we get some fresh UI goodies soon packaged in PureBasic?

Re: Program parameters Console app
Fo example, if you have several main.pb in the IDE you will end up with the same exe name and it will not work, so the name is dynamic
But this main.pb's exist in different folders. I for one, always choose build exe in source folder. Anyway, an override option would be nice. As is more support ...
