Hmmm...that doesn't appear to be a recursive procedure; it never calls itself...

OK...I've made a simple DLL with PureBasic, per the manual...here's the meat of it:

ProcedureDLL EasyRequester(Message$)

MessageRequester("EasyRequester!", Message$, #MB_ICONINFORMATION)

EndProcedure

Now....as you can see, the procedure has ONE argument, a string called "Message$"...call ...

Question: Is there a way to change how files in a directory are sorted in PB? I want to be able to list directories as they are listed in windows explorer...For instance: How can I produce a directory listing that looks like this:

pic1
pic2
...
...
pic9
pic10

Rather than this:

pic1
pic10
pic2 ...

What is a "trainer?"

That's OK...I'm continuing with the trial and error...got some stuff figured out-- just enough to be dangerous!

Thanks,

Wow....first time no one's offered any advice.

I've tried every basic compiler known to mankind, and PureBasic is by far the best in my opinion. No runtimes needed, meaning tiny executables! Direct compilation to machine code, baby! Fast, fast, fast. Gotta love it.

Not too mention the tight integration with the Windows API, along with a nice ...

What I desperately need at this point is some info on printing. Can't figure it out to save my life. Well, I can get stuff to print, but through sheer trial and error. Can someone tell me how to position things properly on a page...does each page form feed automatically, or do you do that with the ...

That online user guide is nice, but stops at chapter 6? I'd love a complete version of this!

Just an FYI-- the mp3 player example code that comes with PureBasic and that is also listed on the website returns an incorrect song length when you play mp3s...evidently you can use MCI to play mp3s, but not get the proper song length (at least, not using the method demonstrated in this code)...I'm ...

Thanks everyone!

Ya know, if it weren't for the PureBasic community, I don't know what I'd do...

I made it work by removing the renamefiles proc and placing the code in the same block as the "#renamebutton" code....so it didn't work because the code was in a procedure.....why?

****UPDATE****

Put the renamefiles code back into a procedure and got it to work by putting the "Shared path ...

Hmmm..... but when I place :"Debug path$" after the ExamineDirectory() statement in the renamefiles proc, it displays the same directory that was used in the "listfiles" proc....

I also just tried placing the statement "Shared path$" in the listfiles proc, and got rid of the Global path$ statement ...

Yep, that's the same bug I reported. For every database you open, you need to use a new database ID#, rather than reusing the same ID# over and over....

Yep, me again with another stupid question. Why does this crash every time the "renamefiles" procedure is called?
