If one of the developers ever reads this: I beg you to update the Pelles Linker!
I made a static library in C++ (VS2010) and when I try to import the .lib or the .obj file to a PB program, the linker just crashes and this shows up:

Hey there!

I've begun a Half-Life 2 mod some weeks ago. Today I found a quite weird macro with a bunch of # signs. What do these do?
Example:

#define STUB_WEAPON_CLASS( entityName, className, baseClassName ) \
class C_##className## : public baseClassName \
{ \
DECLARE_CLASS( C_##className ...

OK, sorry, anyhow I didn't note that I clicked a search result instead of a board thread

Hello!
It would be cool if there was a possibility to try whether inline asm is enabled or not. I thought of a constant named #PB_Compiler_Assembler which returns #True or #False.
Would be great if this gets added to the next version

Cheers, Mok.

@RASHAD: I thought abou this too... but I believed that there'd be some WinAPI stuff.
However, thanks

If I want to skin a PanelGadget in the Visual Studio way, will I have to ownerdraw it too? (SetGadgetColor() does not work)

Good evening!
With the aid of CreateImageMenu() and #PB_Menu_ModernLook it's quite simple to create a pretty and futuristic-looking menu, but can I also skin it by myself? I want to create a "Visual Studio"-like menu, but how?
Thanking you in anticipation, Mok.

OK, quite nice :D
But I have a question about the 4th chapter (addition) . The compiler creates the following code for "1+2+3"
!MOV eax, 1
!PUSH eax
!MOV eax, 2
!POP ecx
!ADD eax, ecx
!PUSH eax
!MOV eax, 3
!POP ecx
!ADD eax, ecx
Wouldn't it be faster and more efficient with the ...

@hallodri: Thank you kenn' ich dich vom deutschen Forum?

Hey there!
There is a PSAPI Structure called PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION (which can be found in psapi.dll), but since there is no PureBasic version of this structure, I wonder how to convert it.
typedef struct _PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION {
DWORD cb;
SIZE_T CommitTotal;
SIZE_T CommitLimit;
SIZE_T ...
