Perhaps this assertion is only correct if the remote site's firewall administrator indeed allows UDP connects?

Is morse-code still used these days? I used to be a ham-radio operator (VHF/UHF) and know for a fact that morse code as a requirement for SW ham-radio operator licensing (as well as licensing professional services on SW) was dropped some ten years ago?

Hi Dige,

thanks for this code. I don't really understand how I should interpret the results. If I start the application twice, one as server and one as client (through localhost), I get very different values for each of the thoughputs. How can the client receive more than the server transmits?

so many options to wade through this weekend. Thanks a a lot to all of you!

Rashad: your first listing seems to fit the bill rather well. Have to check it out more thoroughly though.

Another way, though with using a window region you don't get a themed caption and you can never put gadgets in the transparent part(s):
OpenWindow(0,0,0,800,600,"My Holey Window",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered|#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget)
GetWindowRect_(WindowID(0), wr.RECT)
w = wr ...

when you know the app you want to have "behind but visible thru a transparent region",
you could perhaps also embed this second app into a container at this location?

Hi Kaeru,

the app 'behind the scenes' is an executable, for which I don't have ...

Hi Rook,

what I'm after is to write an app that has some buttons and other controls, and that also has a rectangle on its gui that is completely transparent - the idea being to have an already existing app running 'behind' it on the exact screen location of the transparent rectangle that my app ...

Hi Group,

for a new project, I'd like to write a PB app that contains a rectangle that is completely transparent, i.e. it needs to show the desktop (or any other app) behind it.
Can someone please point me to documentation on how to do that? I haven't been succesful with searching MSDN...

Thanks!

Hi Russel,

great that this is happening to / with PureBasic. Like you I cut my teeth at Doc 4444 and Annex 11 (all of this in the early eighties...). From now on I'm tracking your project...

Thank you so much for this comparison.

The Blueznl version I like best as it has some interessting properties:
- by using four Random(250) terms, the likelyhood of values ending up in the middle becomes slightly larger, i.e. the tail ends get pinched a bit more.
- by using two Random(500) terms ...

Luis,

you get my vote for using a picture of a P51 - anytime.

As to the rest:

Oops, my tongue in cheek remark apparently struck a chord... I'm sorry about that....

ah, cool, now I can bloat initial releases and with each successive update claim smaller memory footprints due to further optimizations ...
