PureBasic Forums - English

Sorry for the delay - I have been away.

Thank you all for your responses and clarifications.

mk-soft second example does work so I can do it in 5 although I did download 6 before I went away.

Can't pretend I understand the code - Have you declared (basically "invented") the "#MyEventType ...

Thank you for your responses.

Afraid that I see nothing called 'GetGateState' and the software example, does not run and I notice items (e.g. #PB_ListIcon_ClickedColum) that do not come up on Help.

I think the problem might be that I need to update my version (5.62) of Pb for those items to be ...

I am an infrequent user of Purebasic. Thus apologies if this is a very basic question, the answer to which I should know.

In the ListIconGadget -

Is there an equivalent to GetGadgetState(0) that returns the column number?

Thank you very much for your response.

I am in the process of converting my original progam so that it uses the Gadget save in your code and it is working well.

I have a ContainerGadget with a series of text boxes that get filled in by the program.

What I want to do is to save the ContainerGadget with all the data as an image which will be incorporated into a web page.

Is there a simple way to do that? Obviously I could do a Windows screen capture, then ...

Sorry for the delay in answering - have been away.

Many thanks for the responses one of which I shall implement.

2015 ?????????????
Guess I am old and doddering but concerned that not only did I not remember this but when I searched the other day, whatever terms I used did not signal that thread ...

Apologies if the following has been answered in the forum - as an occasional user I have not found it.

I can get the line number in which a cell was clicked with GetGadgetState. But is there an equivalent way of getting the column number?

Sorry about that!
Must have had a senior moment!!

The following seems to work quite well:-
aNS1 = Trim(GetGadgetText(#Text_5)) ;Construct font
X = Val(GetGadgetText(#String_6)) ;Size
FontID1 = LoadFont(1, aNS1, X)

I have a series of files with some captions which have their own font specifications.

These have been pre-set and extracted using FontRequester and the different elements saved as a series of variables.

Is it possible to construct a LoadFont from variables?

Can't seem to work it out such as ...

Many thanks for point out the intricacies of Window Events which I have now read about.

Furthermore your solution to my keyboard problem is just what I needed.

Much obliged - thank you.

I am getting repeated responses to ExamineKeyboard/KeyboardReleased calls which i do not understand or know how to correct.

In the following skeletal code, on the next keypress the previously pressed key is returned at least a couple of times. Releasing the aPRESS = "" line still gives a similar ...

Point taken in - many thanks.

Of course it makes sense to chop the delay up to under reaction time!

It ended up like this, with iDLE and aNS pre-set:-

Procedure IDLE()
Repeat
Delay(10)
ExamineKeyboard()
LoadSprite(#Sprite_0, aNS)
DisplaySprite(#Sprite_0, 0, 0)
FlipBuffers()
If L < ElapsedMilliseconds()
iDLE = iDLE + 1 ...

I want to rotate three or four 'idle' pictures, each for about ten seconds, until interrupted by a keyboard press.

However whatever I try in terms of timing does not interrupt the sequence like it should. It may or may not work. it may require multiple key presses. All rather untidy.

Unfortunately ...

Well it has been a fun weekend and I am now confident I can handle byte operations within images.

The one thing I quickly discovered is that all images seem to be in reverse row order.
Presumably the UseXXXImageDecoder() decodes in a format suitable for the Purebasic image box but it does make the ...
