I'm perhaps not the most mac-savvy kinda guy ( mine's gathering dust in its little corner - it's .... err... an eco-friendly experiment I'm doing, very scientific. Don't ask, it's pretty advanced, so you wouldn't understand :D )

Haha, never entered my mind that I missed a param. The statusbar clearly points it out in bold too when you're entering it.
Thanks!

Maybe my brain isn't working as it should, but:
Changes in PB 5.10
- Added: #PB_String_NoCase mode parameter to FindString()

But the result doesn't match my expectations:

Debug FindString("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog","brown",#PB_String_CaseSensitive)

Hi IdeasVacuum, when using the 64-bit compiler:

Number of screens: 2
Screens are same format
Virtual Desktop Size Width: 4480 Height: 1440

iirc, structures with DWORD doesn't change size depending on the architecture of the OS. So you'll have to change the integers into longs for it to work correctly for both 32-bit and 64-bit.

#SM_XVIRTUALSCREEN = 76 ; x-coordinate of left upper corner of total display area
#SM_YVIRTUALSCREEN = 77 ...

I might be wrong here but the PtInRect API always had 2 params, PB allowed the point structure to be specified individually and then it merged them into a point behind the scenes (as it did with other API calls that used point). This was later changed so it corresponded with MSDN. But replacing the ...

This is not an answer to your resolution question, but if you're doing the oembackground approach for the logon wallpaper you should be able to save several images with different resolutions and windows will pick the best suited one (depending on AR):

I think it would be wise to start enumerating drive letters from A. A,B aren't restricted for floppy disks only, windows will happily map a network drive to anything between A-Z as long as it's not already occupied.

Line 17:

For DriveCount = 1 To 26 ; Go through all drive letters (A-Z)

Another take, convert the string to ascii

<removed> pasted the wrong code!


Unicode characters are 2 bytes when stored in memory, when you want to count the number of characters you actually see you can use Len(), but when you want to know it's memory size you have ...

Replace Len() with StringByteLength() in the sender code and it should be good to go. Nice old gem btw netmaestro!

Do you mean something like this?
(Sorry for the sloppy code)

Procedure WindowCallback(Window, Message, wParam, lParam)
Select Message
Case #WM_CLOSE

DestroyWindow_(Window)

Result = 0

Case #WM_DESTROY
PostQuitMessage_(0)
Result = 0
Default
Result = DefWindowProc_(Window, Message ...

He shouldn't be able to move the files to another folder if another process has them locked though..?

You could try this code by Little John to test if they are indeed ''locked''

Simple yet efficient, thanks.

A few small changes and it should work:
Procedure Get_Current_Release_Version(website$, versionfile$)
result=OpenLibrary(0,"urlMON.dll")

If result
result=CallFunction(0,"URLDownloadToFileA",0,@website$,@versionfile$,0,0)

Not so much cleaning, but added leap years.

EnableExplicit ;the most important line in any code ;)

Did you set to point to a valid file?

That same line you mentioned also fails if you're trying to compile a unicode executable...
