PureBasic Forums - English

The obvious place to find something when you know what it is, symbol-wise, is to look in the index. Unfortunately, none of the symbols can be found there. I didn't say that the Help files were "bad", but in the absence of a good manual, they have to do double shift -- simething they are not quite up ...

On one hand, someone advocated breaking up words by allowing spaces or
returns to be placed in them (at least that is what his example showd). I. on the other hand, pointed out that a line continuation symbol was needed in order to allow lines, rather than words, to lap over to other lines. That is ...

Hi James,

You want that code direct or posted?

I'm having trouble getting it together the statements for building a window with a list gadget and various string gadgets. The only sample code I found that seem to relate was the one for a Passowrd Input box, but when I try extend it, I generally clobber the preliminary text in the input boxes ...

Thanks, Time. I grabbed the code at the link youprovided. But actually, I'm isomewhat interested in how to make the Console feature more robust. O seem some Windows APIs for Console, but hard to say if any of that can work within the pureBasic environment. I just figured someone would have played ...

Internally, the CPU does shift and add for each integer multiply operation. It also does the reverse for divide, which is shift and trial subtracts, which are going to take longer since you multiply two 16-bit or 32-bit values together, but you divide a 32-bit value by 16 bits, or a 64-bit value by ...

I wonder if it would be reasonable to take the several PV Windows, such as the IDE, the side panel, the debug windows, the ASM register window, and the Variable watch window and somehow latch them together so that they can optionally do the following:

(1) Retain the same relative positions as last ...

Thank you for your generous offer. Actually, I am more interested in source code to help me learn some of the capabilities and tricks of the trade. I have already found that just the bit I wrote is sufficient for my purposes - I made s small change so that I put a MessageRequester() if if I have any ...

If you can get to 100% and not find any downside to your efforts, then why not. But pushing foreground operations at the cost of your background functions is problematic. Finetuning the results then becomes somewhat difficult, unless you have tools for that purpose. A good memory manager, like ...

Most PCs only have one CPU (Central Processing Unit, or the "brains" of the comuter) which has to do all the work, even in a multi-tasking environment where several programs (or applications) are running at once. IIf you open up the Tasl Manager (use Ctrl+Alt+Del) and then pick Processes, you will ...

I think that if you look at the Help file, you can get some idea of which commands rely on either Windows API or DirectX calls, because those commands will indicate that they are only available under Windows. For
commands that span more than one operating system, either Fred did a roll-your-own ...

My comments were not really with regards to this specific program, but to the larger audience looking to learn how to handle data in text files. I did not try to analyze your code in terms of finding where your problem was, but just focused on your use of Repeat where I thought a While Eof(1)=0 ...

Yep, my mistake, I started at www.purebasic.org, then ended up at www.purearena.net, which is where I found the large selection of code. But I was tired, so it didn't sink in at the time. I had previously downlaoded the whole archive, but when I extracted it, I got the 8.3 filenames, not the long ...

Rather than focus on this as a PureBASIC issue, look at this as a Fax modem issue. That is, it may be that the CD that comes with a fax modem has some development software on it, with examples on how to call the DLLs in various languages like C or VisualBASIC. And it may be that the vender will have ...

Under the NTFS file system, there are advanced file rights management and true ownership tracking. This would pertain to WinNt, 2000, and XP systems with NTFS installed. Under FAT file structures, you only have flags for archive, read only, hidden, and system files. The operating system merely ...
