PureBasic Forums - English

Hi all,

I want to create a 2 programs that communicate with one another within the same computer without using the network functions; a signal sender and receiver pair. When I click the send button on the send program, I want the receiver program to say, received. That's it.

I don't know what's ...

Thanks y'all for your replies. I'll check SpeedFan out.

Hi all

Does anyone know how to use PureBasic to take control of the CPU's fan? I want to be able to leave it running at full speed, for example.

Thanks!

@Rescator
Why show something so fast? Embarrassing admission: I was dumb, didn't think. Too much of the "DOH!" factor in me at the moment.

Yes! That worked. Thanks, cas

Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I can't use 4.40 yet, as there are some SQLite issues with it. I have to stick with 4.31 at the moment

Hi all :)

I'm trying to get a ProgressBar to appear on the StatusBar. I can't get the bar to appear unless I move the window "off-screen" and back, or unless I hide, and unhide the window.

I think I'm doing something wrong to have to resort to such "tricks". Does someone have a better solution ...

Thanks for the suggestions y'all. It has helped, plus I learned some new tricks.

@Ollivier,
Yes I saw that one too. Great idea I'm sure it'll come in handy for future projects.

Erm... okay...

I opted to use this code because I tested its speed against netmaestro's version, and this one was faster on my computer. Netmaestro's code was "neater" however, in the sense that it doesn't have to keep redrawing to keep the drawn items on the screen if other window overlaps, or ...

Thanks, Ollivier I will try these out as well.

Yes, speed was my main concern. Didn't find it logical to purposely slow down the procedure just to make something look good.

Thanks, netmaestro! I'll try this one out

Hi all :)

Does anyone know how to reduce the flicker on the update of the TextGadget without using delay(1)?


Enumeration
#Window
#Text
EndEnumeration

Procedure ChangeText(textgadget)
For x = 0 To 999999
SetGadgetText(textgadget,Str(x))


;Delay(1) ;This reduces the flicker when uncommented ...

You can't. You have the use the native MSAccess database SELECT command to return that value.

For example, in SQLite, it is "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table;". The result is then retrieved by GetDatabaseLong() or GetDatabaseString(). I don't know MSAccess, so you're gonna have to do some research there ...

Wow... Neat!
