PureBasic Forums - English

How can I change the OS Skin in the Form Designer? Currently, the only available options are OS X, Windows 7, Windows 8, and Linux Ubuntu. I would need support for Windows 10 or Windows 11.

beta 9 is available and is focusing on doc improvement (english only for now). As a side note we dropped codesign support for Windows package as the price went crazy for this (basically from 200 euros for 3 years to 450 euros per year, which is a total rip-off for nearly no advantage as AV still ...

For me the biggest drawback is the lack of TLS support in the network library (client and server side) This is a must for people who want to code own servers and protocols. For you perhaps something different. :)

I agree. The way i go around that right now is to run my PureBasic server programs ...

Python app is 60-300 times slower than PB app and uses 2-3 times more memory
Could you provide some examples demonstrating that?

Not direct comparison, but I converted some Java programs to PB and got significant performance gain (2-3 times faster).
Comparison is possible, because I didn't ...

Raspberry PI Zero with a connected powerbank fits in pocket.

You are right, I didn't imagine that.

On Raspberry PI will it work without a browser?
Will SpiderBasic provide access to GPIO, COM and USB ports?

No and no, but Raspberry PI is not for mobile, I can put it in my pocket but not run in same time.
Have to wait for PB for ARM.

Now ARM processors are used in tablets and laptops with Windows. If PB does not support ARM, you will not be able to develop applications using it. ARM support is very important as in more and more devices with ARM processors. Android is based on Linux, which means that theoretically it will be ...

So, I see no reason to get excited by ARM support when it comes to Windows programming? How will PureBasic supporting ARM make a difference to my Windows apps that I'm currently coding?
Desktop use declines - mobile use increases. If the language you use for your desktop app, dies out due to ...

Hello all,

I think PB is going in a good direction now because:

- ARM support is in the development, I guess we may see it in next year or maybe some test version earlier
- This year 2020 is a bug fix year as Fred stated in some forum message. There has been "spotty" bug fixing in my opinion ...

There is so many ARM boards and operating systems.
I think in most cases Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 LTS) and Raspberry Pi (3 or 4) is best combination for PB.

Thank you chris and mk-soft, a very useful library.

This thread is just one example where people are trying to raise their concerns of PB's future.
The same happened countless of times in different threads in many years. It's a clear sign that something is not what people expect.
There is always doomsday writers, but most messages I have seen are not ...

Hello all,

I use PB to create solutions to the enterprise. Mostly those are a service applications running in a server room and processing big amount of data (gigabytes)
in the business intelligence, system integration and data analysis field. PB's ultimate power make this possible, execution speed ...
