PureBasic Forums - English

Spanning more than 25 years, PureBasic is one of the longest-supported commercial development tools that I've come across in my forty years of programming. It is, perhaps, the longest-supported cross-platform tool for the three major desktop environments. 8)

I get an uninterruptible scrolling editorGadget...

You're absolutely right! :shock:

I'd prepared the tutorial on MacOS and forgot that each O/S handles events differently . This recursive messaging by the editor gadget occurs only on Windows, and not on MacOS or Linux.

Nonetheless, I've edited ...

...I don't get anything but "unspecified gadget event..." when I left or right click the window when I run code from your OP. In fact left click returns nothing until I right click.


PureBasic supports mouse button events only on selected gadgets, which does not include windows, editors, or ...

Glad you finally got it.

"Tom" is a proper noun so By your logic I cannot say "how many Toms are in this room?" That too is bogus. :lol:


I said should not . :wink:

Linux refers to the operating system kernel , and all the other so-called "Linuxes" that you're referring to are distinctly independent distributions ...

I'm surprised to hear that. Besides the unobtrusive banner ads at the bottom of the pages, I've never experienced any pop-up ads on this forum. And I browse with basic Chrome.

Message Fred with your old email address and new email address. The old address will still be your login as mk-soft said but your new address can be added to the database. You can then reset your password at https://www.purebasic.com/securedownload/retreivepassword.php and the reset link will go ...
