Just a small glitch:
in the german settings for purifier the slider for "String-Variablen"
is labeled with "Aller x Zeilen".
It should read "Alle x Zeilen".

Hi spikey!

Thank you for looking into this.
You are right. Debug doesn't seem to be the right tool for this job. :D

#SciWindow = 2
#SciTextGadget = 3

Hi!

I started to have a look at scintilla.
I manged to write colored text to the gadget.

But now I got trouble to get the text back from the gadget.
Why do I not get the whole written text back?
Output ends always at 19693.

Here my test code:
EnableExplicit

#SciWindow = 2
#SciTextGadget = 3 ...

Hi!

Thank you Axolotl and RASHAD for replying to my request.

Both examples give me the requested behaviour.
I think I will go with Axolotl's example as it gives me more variations of mousebutton events on statusbar which I can use in the future.

Hi!

Short question: Is there an easier (or even better a correct) way to detect a RMB down or RMB up on a statusbar?
I came up with this:
EnableExplicit

Define sbh
Define Event

Procedure WinCallback(hWnd, uMsg, wParam, lParam)
Select uMsg
Case 528
AddGadgetItem(1, -1, "RMB")
If ...

Hi wombats!

Thank you editing the code.
Seems to work for me. I will incorporate this in my code.

May I just jump in?

What if I want to have the text in tabs constantly colored?
Maybe first tab red, second blue and third green?
It should be when the PanelGadget with its tabs is created.
Is this possible?

Thanks in advance.

Could you test a softwared switch off ?

Yes, I did.
There was no problem. The window wasn't maximized.
I tried Rashads snipped above: no problem.
Also the 'normal' standby mode didn't any harm.
Only power off/on showed the problem.

Hi Jim!

Yes, Windows is behaving strangely. At first, it looked as if y=900 was a limit
beyond which the window would expand to its maximum size.
When I then reduced the window size again, the window was still enlarged.
I had to go back to <= 600 until I had a constant window size again.
I give up ...

Thank you to all of you for confirming my observation.
So its not only my system with this strange behaviour.
I will stay with WindowBounds(). It serves me as I do not need
any resizing and I do not have to intercept any events.

Another question is wether this is PB only related and maybe
a bug or ...

Using the monitors power switch.

Hi!

Today I observed an unsual window behaviour:
OpenWindow(1, 10, 10, 1024, 920, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu)
; WindowBounds(1, 1024, 920, 1024, 920)
Repeat
Event=WaitWindowEvent()
Until Event=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
Running this snippet and turning monitor off and on again lets
expand the window ...

$93 versus $22

Interesting:

If I use For/Next, the execution time ist just 50% with Debugger on.
C-Backend is selected and Optimization is enabled.
31106 ms to 69440 ms
Without Debugger: both 0 ms

Hi Rashad!

Thank you for being so patient.

I seems, that your last posting includes what I was looking for.
It never came to my mind using LIG for that, because I didn't
know the existance of #LVS_NOCOLUMNHEADER.
Everything works, no "soft scroll", all lines reachable with
scroll bar and keys ...
