Is it possible to validate the content of gadget(0), display a message to the user and continue execution normally?

Having to dismiss a message box every time an input is incorrect is quite disruptive to the workflow. A better approach would be to indicate the error somewhere around the input box ...

I found a way, to start the program itself with the batchfile as parameter. The program (freefilesync) runs fine, and the handle is 1, but I still get the error message "The specified "program" is not valid."

Yes. The frame gadget is originally meant for UI aesthetics. Changing it to a container would really mess up the positioning of the ...

...how to get an end condition for the program, which is started by the batch file?

Then it would probably boil down to the speed of your storage device.

I tested Bernd's code with a 100MB, 16000 × 9000 pixel, 600-dpi image, with these results:
Faster on an SSD, perhaps.

...frame with a button inside, and that button has a tooltip, this 2nd tooltip does not show for the new button..

FrameGadget(0, 10, 10, 200, 100, "Frame", #PB_Frame_Container)

Wow! You've outdone yourself TI-994A! :shock:

I've not used PB in a while now but I could have really used this tool a few years back.

I quickly tested in with the free demo version of PB and was surprised that it worked. Keep up the magnificent work. :)

Missing CloseGadgetList() for CanvasGadget as container. I also forget sometimes ;)


Hi @mk-soft. Thanks for pointing that out. But technically, it's not missing .

The CloseGadgetList() function closes the current gadget list and reopens the gadget list of the last container; in this case the ...

Left = 10 : Top = 10 : LineThickness = 10

win = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 640, 320 ...
