Re: Lost my account information.

I cannot refute your point and it's not something I would recommend as a good practice.

Message Fred with your old email address and new email address. The old address will still be your login as mk-soft said but your new address can be added to the database. You can then reset your password at https://www.purebasic.com/securedownload/retreivepassword.php and the reset link will go to ...

Re: Dan Appleman's Guide to the Win32 API - 1999

I've got a small library in my office (but not very up to date)... I raise you Windows NT4.0 MCSE Core still in its original box and TechNet Plus on CD up to June 2002! :D

Re: Commodore is back!

I can see a use. I see a problem periodically in programmers who've only learnt high level OOP languages like C# but nothing like C++, and in fact even C++ only students are not immune to the problem if they've only studied the language in isolation. They've no idea whatsoever how a microprocessor ...

Re: How to Check Database Connection is still valid?

By definition anything requiring a 'SELECT' isn't going to work in this particular situation.

I haven't tried it to be certain but I think you probably want PQstatus. There's an import and example in this post: Postgres client functions possible ???

Re: #PB_EventType_ReturnKey

As far as I can tell it predates the documentation in the public repo, so prior to 2020. You could use AddKeyboardShortcut to get notified at the window level, or the CanvasGadget supports key events at the gadget level.

Re: why I cannot write a procedure in the loop event

I can't test for certain because I can't run the code, as others have already observed, but looking at it I would expect that you are overflowing the event queue because your drawing activity is taking up too much time.

When something occurs in an application, an event is added to the queue. When ...

Re: Form Designer vs the Rest


My impression is that if from the start I learn to use the Form Designer in the IDE then I won't know what I am missing, and it will do the job.

Not really. PureBasic isn't a "very high" level language, it doesn't hide much away from the programmer or add huge sections of concealed functionality ...

Re: ComatePlus: Replace in Word does not work

If the file is created you have a working COM object so, at a guess, one of the 'Find' related instructions is returning an error. However I can't test to find out because I don't have access to MS Office any more. Replace your procedure with this version which will output some debug information, it ...

Re: Variable Viewer, view passed pointed structure

I think this could be a feature request. The context debugger popup in the IDE supports dereferencing this sort of pointer:

I'm guessing that it's possibly a case that the variable viewer window has never been updated to display it too ...
