Thanks Normeus, I'll check that out.

Hi Guys

While our fantastic PB supports inline assembly and easy WinAPI support, I've been wanting to play around with MASM (or ML) using VS2015 just for fun. Like many of you I enjoyed many hours of 8 and 16bit assembly coding back in the day (tempted to say 'good old days' :) )

Anyway, while the ...

Hey guys

I stumbled upon this quite by accident and now can't wait to get my hands on a copy

http://www.frombedroomstobillions.com/

I appreciate it might be of more interest to those from the UK but anyone who started out programming on the C64, Spectrum, BBC, etc. may want to check it out ...

I'd really like to see this too. I've been writing a little app that needs to go much further back than 1970 and far prefer native solutions to workarounds.

While on the subject, it would be great to be able to use 'setgadgettext' with a date gadget given that 'getgadgettext' is capable of reading ...

Thanks guys.

Yes, I know there is no Change event documented. There isn't one documented for the Editor gadget either but it can be enabled via the WinApi, hence my assumption that something similar might be possible here.

But the lonely left click event will do nicely

Cheers.

Ahhhh, I see what's going on. Your examples aren't qualifying the EventType as changed...

You are getting any event related to that gadget.

Which seems to work! I wonder if it will backfire on me later

:oops:

Well, I only hope that you didn't find it in the English-speaking forum or I can't work the search as well as standard PB event handling :D

Thank you so much Bernd.

What's strange is that I thought my original code did just that! When it didn't work for Editor, date and option gadgets, I ...

Firstly, apologies if this has already been answered, I did do a search.

I'm trying to get the date and option gadgets to generate a #PB_EventType_Change message.

I've tried the trick (API call) that enables changes for the Editor gadget but it doesn't work for these.

Would be grateful for a hint ...

As a relative newbie to PB (found it about a year or so ago) I looked at many, many languages with which I might restart my programming interest (which started what seems like many years ago with 8bit Basics and various assembly languages).

Funnily enough I looked at D :D

In the end I decided ...

Many thanks guys, much appreciated. :D

Comtois - that was exactly what I needed, thanks! If only the original example had that.

Idle - thanks a lot for taking the time, that explanation was very helpful.

Netmaestro - I'm sure you're right in many cases, however, I'm not convinced that using a ...

Being a 'structure novice' when I look at the PB example below, it looks like the author is doing something 'clever' with the structure facility which I can't quite fathom. My non-oop brain fails to get the benefit of things like structures (it thinks, perhaps wrongly, they are doing things the long ...

Yes I'm familiar with that table Djes (but thanks).

I now realise where I was going wrong. The last time I used Peek and Poke it was years ago and all you had were bytes so I was used to treating everything as a byte and combining them to form words myself, etc.

For some reason, with all of the ...

; PokeU() writes an unicode character (2 bytes)


*memoryid=AllocateMemory(20)
If Not *memoryid:Debug "Could not allocate memory":End: EndIf

For a=0 To 20 Step 2
PokeU(*memoryid+a,a/2)
Debug PeekU(*memoryid+a)
Next

Debug "--------"
Debug "--------"


For c=0 To 20 Step 2
Debug PeekU(*memoryid+c ...

Hi Netmaestro

Well there's no doubting that works so many thanks!

However, I am surprised one has to go to those lengths given the many variants of Peek and Poke. I thought that was what they were for. And there's nothing in the help that suggests that this approach is necessary for standard ...

Hi Netmaestro

Sorry, I forgot to say that this little bit of code is drawn from something larger where I'm dealing with values of between 0 and 1.5bn so given that I need a 32bit word. In fact I am actually using PokeL/PeekL in my other code (same result).

So while your change based on the Ascii ...
