Re: atof Replacement for ValD

Tx for feedback, but differences seem actually to be caused by C/ASM mode and/or 32/64bit mode.

Compiling following code on x86, Windows, ASM mode, results here in a gain of speed with _ValdD by nearly 50% ... :D

PB 6.21: (with debugger)
ValD: 1193 ms
_ValD: 511 ms

atof Replacement for ValD

Following the hints in https://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=87644 , I verified that using atof is actually much more faster than built-in ValD().

Speed test for 100000 string conversions:
ValD: 785ms
with atof: 494

Below a small code that could be used as replacement, just comment out ...

The following code should replace the placeholder <date> in a word document with the actual date and save the modified text as new document.
But the code does not work properly ...

Re: Check if Edge ist installed

Thank you for confirmation, great. I was a little bit in doubt, whether a missing Edge would rise an system error message when initalising a webgadget with flag #PB_Web_Edge

Check if Edge ist installed

Hi all,

I'm using PB on Windows and would like to force the Edge mode when using the webgagdet.

Is the following approach fail-safe, meaning that no system error message boxes will appear in case Edge is not properly installed ?

wg= WebGadget(#PB_Any, 0, 00, 780, 510, "",#PB_Web_Edge)
If ...

Re: AddKeyboardShortcut not working when having a webgadget with flag #PB_Web_Edge

Thank you for this info, I was not aware of this yet.

But:the problem also occurs with key combinations that are not reserved by system, for example when using #PB_Shortcut_Control|#PB_Shortcut_Pad0.
I also was not able to find any working key combination with edge mode yet.

So I think, that there ...

Try this:

TX, I alrerady tried, but this does not work, too.
I also tried with .l instead of .i (btw, is there even a difference on 32bit ?).

It is really strange, for the C sample code works.

But it is not a free dll according to the web page.

HTML to RTF Lib

Hello,
I found a free DLL to convert HTML to RTF ( https://sautinsoft.com/products/convert-rtf-to-html-com-win32-html-to-rtf/rtf-to-html-and-html-to-rtf.php ). The conversion just needs one API call, sample code (C) is included in the download package.

I was able to translate to PB and call the DLL ...
