PureBasic Forums - English

It's true there is an Xp mode that can be applied on a task by task basis in Windows 7 however that didn't make the app start working again. So much for paying the extra cash for W7 professional.

Well unfortunately my entire experience so far with PB has rested on the shoulders of PurePop3. My little app which I spent months on worked fairly well in Xp but now I can't even use it in Windows 7.

Since MS doesn't support Xp anymore, this presents a real problem and a huge disappointment in ...

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know if these PurePop3 and PureSMTP libs work with PureBasic x64?

I just upgraded from Win XP to Win 7 and I'm now getting assembler error MP116, saying operands are not the same size.

My PureBasic compiler is working for the sample code that comes with PB though. ;)

Thanks ...

I Agree. I am getting comiler/linker errors as well.

A linker error. It doesn't say much in the IDE except Linker error.

I get a message box which says: POLINK error and it says it has something to do with SYS_AllocateString but I don't find that anywhere in my code.

This was fine before version ...

Hey all,

Does anyone have an alternative to the PurePOP3 library??

I am finding that it never recovers when the Internet connection is blocked or otherwise disconnected while email is being retrieved.

The only recourse so far that I've found is to literally close the app and reopen it. This is ...

Hey PB,

Do you recall hearing anything about bpePOP3?

I was going to use it in the beginning and for some reason switched over to PurePOP3.

Now I'm thinking I may go back to using bpePOP3.

I started to replace some of the function calls to use bpePOP3 instead. So far I am getting a strange ...

Thanks PB, that looks similar to what I am trying to do.

I can only speak for myself but it has been my experience that when PurePop3_OpenPop3Connection() refuses to work it is when the Internet connection is disrupted after a successful connection.

1) OpenPop3Connection() connects successfully ...

Hey PB,

I know it's not the most ideal thing, but since re-opening the app does seem to be a reliable workaround, would you be so kind as to tell me how you arranged to have your app restart itself?

Here's a function I'm calling when there is a Pop3 error after successfully connecting (if Pop3 ...

It's odd that restarting the app would be the only way to accomplish this, ie resetting the PurePOP3 library so that it can connect to the server once again.

Maybe it's possible to re-initialize the PurePOP3 library, via a secret function call such as PurePOP3_Initialize_() that isn't documented ...

Basically, Scenario #1 is an example of when the Pop3 library recovers. This is when the Internet connection was down at the time PurePOP3_OpenPop3Connection() is called. If this happens and the Internet connection is later restored, PurePOP3_OpenPop3Connection() is able to connect just fine.

In ...

Hello all,

Does anyone have a suggestion for best way for PurePOP3 to recover from an interrupted Internet connection?

I have a small program (pasted at end of this post) with a button that calls a function, CheckMail() which then calls PurePOP3_OpenPop3Connection().

Things work very well so long ...

Thanks Info0Byt3, This is beautifully simply and simply beautiful (works)!

I was looking for SW_BRINGTOFRONT (or something like that) but then I found these 4 lines of code that you provided.



Much appreciated,
Roark

Well netmaestro, all I can say is you certainly pay attention to some of the finer details and.. you rock!

I tried implementing your fix into the program and it works. Not only that, I managed to have it working on several listicon gadgets!

Mille Grazie,
Roark

Thanks netmaestro,

It can be a lonely world out there so it's always nice to feel like other PB enthusiasts are around and willing to share. Thanks for sharing as often as you do. Your code snippets are often just the trick that is needed to solve the problem at hand.

I only now was able to open t ...

Thanks for this srod:


If event = #WM_KEYDOWN And EventwParam() = #VK_DELETE And GetActiveGadget() = 0
Debug "Delete key!"


I changed it to read as:

If event = #WM_KEYDOWN And EventwParam() = #VK_DELETE

activeGadget = GetActiveGadget()

If activeGadget = #Email
;...delete from from ...
