Not sure what you're trying to do, but if you are running a web server then.


OpenConsole()
PrintN(GetEnvironmentVariable("REMOTE_ADDRESS")) ; The IP address of the visitor
CloseConsole()


The exact name of the environment variable will depend on the server. Could also be "REMOTE_ADDR"

Ghost,

The nice thing about Gmail is that the focus is already set on UserName so you won't have to move the mouse. So then all you have to do is send your username then {TAB} then password, {TAB} again, and last {ENTER}. I think what you're looking for is in this thread.

Thanks for the replies.

So when the serial port 'times out' after an interval set by SerialPortTimeouts it just closes and disappears ?

I was hoping for something more useful - I suppose it is back to the kludge of using the API timer to periodically check if any characters have appeared in the ...

Hi KH 1 thru 0,

Serial ports don't exactly time out, they are closed just like a file. Basically the host program says "if I do not see activity for X amount of time then close the port" that's how you get a timeout. What you need to do is look at the DCD line (Data Carrier Detect) if it is low ...

I've not actually tried this yet but, would running it from a batch file fix the problem?

Well Alan, you've come to the right language. Single line coding is considered to be poor style. As your code grows and you gain experience you will no longer do this.

a$=B$:X=1

instead you will do this

a$ = B$
X = 1

There are exceptions of course, but generally speaking it's not a good way to ...

+1 @Trond's request. I think that would be really neat!

Well how about that, just the opposite.. The height of the progress bar is taller than the status bar with skin support off. What exactly is going on here?

JP

This works too :)

With or without skin support. But with skin support off the progress bar is a few pixels taller than the status bar. Strange..

Is there anywhere I could get a large size snippet of a Program that has a Menu and a Splash Screen. Examples are so small that I don't understand how they work with others.I'm 80 years old and I'm trying to re-write a
check register program that I wrote for dos years ago. A snippet of a Recipe ...

I have code that I wrote 30 years ago and it makes no sense to me now. 20 years ago, I have to study it for a while. 10 years ago, I can read it and understand what it does easily. The whole idea behind the Basic language is readability. Basic was invenetd as an exercise in NL (Natural Language) it ...

I'll keep that in mind Kaeru. I'll just have to wait and see how the code evolves over time.

In this case I am re-creating an old dos program I wrote 10+ years ago. So I am attempting to create the same look and feel of the original program. It won't have any menus. The buttons are the menu so it's ...

Yes that is exactly how I want it to work.

all I needed from your example was
Case #PB_Event_Gadget, #PB_Event_Menu

what I had before was
Case #PB_Event_Gadget

and then a second identical select with
Case #PB_Event_Menu

Thank you Trond for providing this most ...

That's true if that is the only way it will work, but if there is another way then it is code duplication. BTW I looked for Event_Type could not find it.. There is EventType() which is something completely different.

I tried to put #PB_Event_Menu and #PB_Event_Gadget in a seperate select then ...

"elegant" is a fractal with a deep recursion, not a flat line.

Elegant is finding ways to avoid code duplication whenever possible..

Thanx for the tip!
