I am unsure wheter it would be allowed to compile a dll from PB 6 and use it for a project written in PB 4. Since it could touch the "wrapper" idea somehow.

Actually i am dealing with a lot of old Windows PCs in the present days, and i was curious about using PB 4.00 to compile for Windows 95. Some ...

Oh, it can't be used again

Thanks a lot Demivec

Think Fred should make a decision on this.

define *img
define *fnt

I tried implementing Ascii Art just to have a banner for a cli app.

Unlike just prompting, a 'graphical console' should know about the frame size of a cli client area. Just like the default may be 80x25 signs, the user, for example, can change that and enlarge or narrow down the cli output.

When ...

GrabImage copies a section from a source image into target image. The target can be #pb_any, but not a previously dynamically created image...

The help states:

#Image2 A number to identify the new image. #PB_Any can be specified to auto-generate this number.

Note: The number of an existing ...

The debugger still complains about usings of LoadFont inside a StartDrawing/StopDrawing block.

Turning off the debugger, it works however.

;{ and ;} are preset for folding functionality, I guess you have to remove them from there first (Preferences / Editor / Folding)


Using 6.20 x64 that didn't change anything. Besides i think that the 'curlies' really belong to the source line folding, since they can do blocks as well as any ...

Despite the fact that Microsoft always used 128 and 191 for 4-shade gray support, the scale should better be:

0 (black)
$55555 (85, dark gray)
$AAAAAA (170, light gray)
$FFFFFF (255, white)

The keyword sensitive indentation follows a ruleset wich can be changed to support curly brackets only. Personally i like the idea to use the curlies as indentors.

Trying to write a procedure with ;{;}-block inside however fails.

procedure test ()

;{
; first line after the bracket is indented ...

Both SpiderBasic and PureBasic could deserve a dialog library ready .xml output.

Is there any third party solution for this?

Okay. sorry.

I thought about it. I think a monitor that shows black is not pushing-through any energy, thus has no value (0).

The first amount of energy is '1', the last is '255'. THEIR mid is (255-1)/2+1 = 128. It's not the mid value of the 'values', but the mid of the 'energetic states'.

So perhaps the ...

@HeXOR:

Nice! 8)

I never knew the window would have an 8 px margin, it's propably because of the 8 px thick borders introduced with Windows 8.

Here your code in Fred's style:

xmlScript$ + "<window width='320' height='200' text='fill-out container!' flags='#PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window ...

Yep! It works. :mrgreen:

For some reason '-8' is the exact value needed (at my system).

xmlScript$ = "<window id='#pb_any' name='' x='0' y='0' width='320' height='200' text='fill-out container?' flags='#PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget|#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget'>" +
