Thanks for the suggestion above. I'll certainly give it a go.

I was hoping to have seamless cross-platform functionality (using native file browsers), but if this works it'll certainly do for now!

I think PC's (desktops, towers, etc) will soon be a thing of the past

Nonsense. Tens of thousands of businesses rely on PCs in their current form to operate. Games developers will code directly onto the iPad? Bank staff will use iPads at the window? Factory machinery will be controlled by iPad ...

.app files aren't executables.
They are an archive containing multiple files like a .zip file.
If you click on an .app file with the right mouse button in the Finder application, you can show the contents of the package.

I know they aren't executables dude.

Are you saying that a user should be ...

Where did you read that! :shock:

I was a good boy and did a search for this earlier, and came across a thread that suggested it wasn't possible :?:


Look in the Help file for 'Filename$ = OpenFileRequester(Title$, DefaultFile$, Pattern$, PatternPosition [, Flags])'. Be aware that 'Pattern ...

Hi there,

I've read in this forum that it's not possible to browse for .app files since they're seen as a folder and not a file.

I'm writing a program which needs the user to browse for an executable (to 'locate it'), and then to run this executable. Is there any way to do this in Purebasic ...

Ah! Now I realise how the gadget is created it makes much more sense now. Thanks for the info I've just learned so much from your one post

Anyone? :/

Even just some tips on how to interact with GTK (API) would be helpful

Hi all.

Just wondered if it was possible (natively or using GTK 2 API) to force the EditorGadget to jump straight down the bottom of it's contents?

I've found some info here...

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkEditable.html

...but have no idea quite how to work with it. Any ...

That's just the ticket, thanks.

I'll make a point of scouring that code so I know exactly how it works, better to learn I reckon

Nice one!

What does this library offer that the existing PB system tray stuff doesn't?

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the padding/distance between each row when using the gadget in List/Details mode?

I've had a good scour of the the API and Purearea, no dice :/

Any help, once again, much appreciated!

Ah, that's just the ticket. Thanks for the info

Hi there!

I wonder if someone could tell me-- Is it possible to create the style of buttons as mentioned above in PB? I've scoured the API and come up with nothing, I wondered if someone could point me in the right direction?

Much appreciated

I've noticed the tutorial on the 'rebar' control, which is very useful.

I wondered also if anyone could provide me with information on how to create the type of text & image toolbar buttons used in IE and Outlook Express? I thought there might be part of the API somewhere devoted to it but I can't ...

Well, waffle claims that the following command are in PB? 3.4, but I cannot find them anywhere in the help file nor through jaPBe.. Anybody have any clues?

He's wrong. There are no 'native' commands. WinAPI is your only hope at the moment, and as we know, being a Linux user, this ain't much help ...
