PureBasic Forums - English

As a relative beginner, I do strongly agree with this idea...

Many thanks to both of you. It works well now with the new version.
But I wonder what I would have done without your advice? I find nothing about
the alteration in the list of changes. Very frustrating to those of us who are less than brilliant!

Some time ago I wrote a small program on Purebasic 4.61 which worked well.
I have just upgraded to version 5.21 and find that the following lines generate a syntax error:

DataSection
_OPT_Form1_ImageMain:IncludeBinary "Images\query.png"
_OPT_Form1_Thumbs1:IncludeBinary "Images\blankitS.png ...

That is exactly what it was, my wife suggested the solution! But thanks anyway.

I have just managed to transfer my compiled program to my wife's laptop, experimenting with packaging it.
On my wife's laptop all the fonts appear too large and overlap their spaces. They are Verdana, and the laptop certainly has that font. The program specifies for example "LoadFont(#Gadget_Form1 ...

I have now copied the entire directory with images over and it works... obvious I suppose! Thanks folks.
Now to sort out a fonts problem...they re too big on the laptop!

Thanks for the suggestions. I don't have a 64 bit OS on either machine. I obviously have to learn something more abut loading pictures!

Thanks, that was quick: the program shows a series of small pictures to which the user responds. Do these need to be installed on the target computer? The executable seems large enough to contain these (246kB)
Don't think it's an antivirus issue. I did try to run as administrator.

I have made a program executable which works well on my Win7 computer with PureBasic installed.
However when I copy "myprogram.exe" on to my wife's Win7 laptop and try to make it work nothing happens.
Any ideas please? I'm pretty well a beginner. Apologies if this has been asked before, but I can ...

One small point: there was an error in the URL for EasySetup given, but I chased it to earth and it should be

Thanks for that. As I have a number of .JPG files in directories to accompany the .EXE I will use one of the installation programs you suggest. Not quite time for that yet, though, but I like to know these things in advance!

I've now got most of my program running, thanks to the help I have received, and will soon have to figure out some sort of an installation program. Any suggestions? Or is one necessary, considering that there are no dlls to bother with?

My sincere thanks to you, Danilo and TI, for explaining so clearly something that puzzled me, and which I do think could be made more clear in the literature. Most versions of Basic have something simple like " LoadImage (Control, "Picture.jpg") " and PureBasic's double-shuffle takes a time to ...

I am now getting quite well with coding and some things are working well. I've now got the paid-for version of PB.

But I have some difficulty in understanding just what is going on when loading an image into an existing imagebox or imagebutton, created with PureVision, which I tried and liked.

The ...

Very briefly: hooray! The image viewer works! Ka pai!
I am most grateful. I think I am over the hump now. But I look forward to more of the updates examples I mentioned.
NB: a useful bit of housework for some glutton for punishment with nothing else to do: go looking for examples and tutorials which ...
