I plan to learn how to include the PNG files in the program (if that's possible), so they are not separately in the folder.


As mentioned previously, there are include methodx.
Also, another method exists (than can be use when posting on the forum too :wink: ) :

Re: LoadFont inside StartDrawing-block

Any code?

I haven't tested it, and maybe it's a bug, but I wonder: What is the absolute necessity of including LoadFont inside a StartDrawing()/StopDrawing() block?
I've never had a problem loading a font before using such a block...

Hello jacdelad

there's a mk-spft-code floating around in the Tips & Tricks sub forum, which addresses this especially for threads. Worth a look.

Re: Thread with multiple processing loops


With Windows it works in most cases. But as soon as you switch to Linux or macOS, it crashes.

Thanks a lot for all these explanations.

However, I must admit that I don't always understand why some actions on gadgets, depending on where they are placed in the threaded procedure, work or don't ...

Re: Thread with multiple processing loops


Since this is performed in a sequence in a sequence, a single thread is sufficient

Thanks for your reply :wink:

Another (noob's) question: I understand that you have to use a memory address (to a string or a structure) when you want to pass non-numeric parameters through a PostEvent.
