PureBasic Forums - English

Some more quotes added to the original post.

New quote added where the user said PureBasic is so close to abandonware.

Apple's a private company. They can do whatever they like. And people can vote with their wallets.

As I requested once before, the compiler should just enable thread safety if "CreateThread()" is used in the source, and disable it if not. Smart compiling.

I understand you were curious, but I gave you my answer. You can't discount it just because it wasn't what you wanted to hear. :)

Anyway, if you want a different answer: I'd suggest maybe keeping it inside the procedure, because that way it's all "locked inside" and the comment gets kept if you ...

Use whatever method you prefer. You've obviously tried both, so which do you like? It's your life.

if Purebasic stayed the way it is right now, today, I'd be happy to use it everyday, because, basically, i already do
Same for me. I only update PureBasic these days if it really does something new that I need, or fixes a bug that existed. Normally I don't need to update with every release like I ...

If you just want to add individual items to a ListView or ListIcon alphabetically, they have flags which'll do it for you (search).

Note that #WM_SETTEXT only inserts text at the current cursor position -- it doesn't simulate keystrokes, which is an entirely different concept. Just FYI.

Also, I did once have code that simulated actual keystrokes to an out-of-focus window, but I can't find it right now. Not sure if I have a ...

When I select a color for a window, I can't remove that color unless I manually edit the created code. Can a method be made for removing a color with the color property field, somehow?

I put the following name for a window caption with the form designer:

Properties for "<name>"
And the designer made the source code like this:

Window_0 = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 920, 530, "Properties for "<name>"", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
And when trying to run it ...

@em_uk: Your code doesn't compile. Missing an EndIf. Can't work out where it's meant to go because you've got a While/Else/EndIf loop, and if I change While to If, then I get a Break level too high error. Please check your code.

Charge a small fee for updates. It might not prevent boredom, but it'll keep you motivated in developing further.

+1 to this request... I need to hide a menu item today but have to look for an API solution.

Lucifer, yeah, I've given up waiting for ReactOS too. But my point was that it's a better project than starting an OS from scratch that has no ready software base. Yes, kudos to KolibriOS and all that, but it won't go anywhere at all. I've seen lots of alternative OSes come and go over the years ...
