I have a single combobox that i need to detect just a change in index for (ie: the user selects a new entry in the combobox).

I tried with EventType() and #PB_EventType_Change but that doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Nope, just a few ReadProcessMemory() things in there, no strings.

Procedure CheckFocus(WinID.l, message, wParam, lParam)
Result = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents
Select message
Case #WM_SETFOCUS
Debug "got focus"
Case #WM_KILLFOCUS
Debug "lost focus"
EndSelect
ProcedureReturn Result
EndProcedure


A simple callback to check focus.. you'd think...

My app has a thread running that checks memory addresses (of another app) from a linked list.

As long as i am in my own app, the thread runs fine.

The moment i switch to the app of which the thread is looking at the memory addresses, the thread will work still.. but after about a minute, the ...

I can't believe i didn't think of that..

Thanks dude.

Timmy, the idiot

I need to execute stuff in a seperate thread about very two seconds, instead of having it repeat over and over without pause.

i tried with ElapsedMillisecs() and this works, until one goes to a different program and come back, then it has magically stopped timing which makes my thread not do ...

Isn't a byte supposed to be 0 to 255?

I am trying to write an app that searches in memory of a process (this all works just fine).. but when i search for '100' in memory (64 in hex) Purebasic tells me it's -56 ..

I am mystified here

Tim

Yeah, works great! thanks for that.. guess i'll need to get another Win32 API reference, as this one stinks

Tim

Really? hmm, my win32 api reference doesn't mention one word about that.. but, worthy of testing

Thanx

Tim

Yeah, i am doing something like that now Paul, seems to be the easiest solution, even if i would rather not deal with window events at all.

I am actually using a windowed OpenGL screen in this case.

So, i am gathering there is no easy way to do this. A simple MouseDown() function ala Blitz isn't possible in PureBasic without going the difficult way. Pretty useless if you ask me. PureBasic is a nice language for simple apps, but that seems to be the extend of it.. pity.

Mind you, i wouldn't be ...

I need to detect mouse click, and then continuously (unlike PB's screwed up Event system that gives me ONE event, no matter how long you hold down or how hard you hit your mouse with a brick (which i started doing after seeing how screwed up PB's mouse event handling is))

I also do not want to use ...

I actually do need it as a pointer inside the structure, otherwise i have to write EIGHT times as much code for what i am doing!

Tim

I've been fighting with this all day now.. please assist if possible.

In delphi i'd do this:


TGridPoint = record
P : TGLCoord;
Value : FLoat;
end;
PGridPoint = ^TGridPoint;
TGridCube = record
GridPoint : Array [0..7] of PGridPoint;
end;


(^ in the Delphi code is a pointer)

Now, i have ...

Awesome, that works..

Thanks a lot!
