PureBasic Forums - English

Hi spikey.

I'm sort of confused. This code seems more comprehensive as it better refines the input - but isn't this the .pbf Form, and will it not be
automatically re-generated by the Form Designer ?

Thanks,
M...

My apologies, I didn't intend to confuse. Yes, I expanded the code as a self ...

The StringGadget has the '#PB_String_Numeric' property which will constrain the gadget to positive integers.

You can also set a maximum length on a string gadget via SetGadgetAttribute, this will stop too many characters being entered:
SetGadgetAttribute(CustName, #PB_String_MaximumLength, 4 ...

Are you using modules, and are WNDW_main and WNDW_log in different modules?

Blast! I typo'd when I posted, despite trying very hard not to! The statement "case sensitive search (a=a) (default)" is not correct. In a case sensitive search A is not equal to a!

The correction I posted is correct, however. Compare with the French version - which is correct.

Is the PureBasic Form Designer behaving correctly?

The form designer is behaving as it is programmed, yes. Is the behaviour you're describing desirable in a perfect solution, probably not.


Am I misunderstanding something?

Probably. The form designer doesn't maintain the code directly, it ...

Of course, but it's an optimisation that it would be nice to have available and makes the two commands consistent.

In the FindString article, the Mode parameter description contains a typo, in the English and German versions: should say:

Could CountString get the same Mode parameter as FindString please?

Help wrote:#PB_String_CaseSensitive: case sensitive search (a=a) (default).
#PB_String_NoCase : case insensitive search (A=a).

I currently have to have two copies of a string around for counting, original case and lower case.

What makes you think it isn't enabled? A quick look says to me that it is and I can't think of any obvious reasons why Fred would choose to omit it.
For me, on 6.30B4, "PRAGMA compile_options;" returns:-

I'm know I'm not following you entirely here (I've an infection and brain functions are impaired!) but I can see some problems.
1) The macro DbgREG is bugged. Where does _dbgval_ come from?
2) LEA and MOV perform two completely separate functions. LEA moves addresses into registers. MOV moves values ...

Thank you for the example, that looks easy! (I didn't know that Delay allowed events to continue.)

It doesn't. What infratec is doing in this example is creating a thread which runs alongside the main program. It uses PostEvent to tell the main thread that a UI update is appropriate. The main ...

If you always have four time slots you don't need to muck about with a list. Each task can have a fixed sized array.

I would also store Unix epoch timestamps (i.e. Q values from the Date() function) of the next event time in the array. Then you can also take advantage of the AddDate() function too ...

I wonder why the #PB_EventType_LeftButtonDown for example is blocked with Requester, but not the #PB_EventType_MouseMove

It's in use by the modal dialog, whereas the mouse position isn't especially significant and hasn't been overriden by a dialog specific function. It's an emergent behaviour of ...

Are we talking 1D, 2D or 3D points here? How many control points are there likely to be? 10's, 100's or 1000's

Also why would the .pbf code work standalone ?

When you compile and run a form design on its own, the form designer constructs a minimal event loop and adds this to the file content before passing it to the compiler. It does this invisibly.

Your program is terminating without doing anything ...
