... problem... Sure...

I will wait if anybody looks a performance problem with this small 3rd simulation.

And I will need a convention language to enrich the text, because the RTF language is absolutely not what I prefer. I d like a simpler language, an intuitive thing, which eases the write of a rich ...

... draft to get an idea because I never take notes or plan how to make the programs, everything is in the coconut :mrgreen:

I hope it will help someone, that they make a game, that they sell it, that they become rich, that they set up an aerospace company... hmm. Wait!, that's already happened... :lol:

... I can just add step by step the answers I find by testing to technical questions.

A technical question is about the easier ways we have :
- a rich text support on Microsoft
- a pdf support on Linux

This let us imagine a byte code dedicated to rich text.

Note that I test on full screen. I ...

Pre-prompt Classification Layer
Use script to classify the board state into categories (e.g., “merge-rich,” “clustered,” “blocked,” “stalled”) and tag prompts accordingly.

SendMessage_(GadgetID(0), #EM_SETTEXTMODE, #TM_RICHTEXT, 0)

Something interesting I notice is that in wordpad's rich edit control, if I type a line of text and don't press enter, then try to left/right arrow to read by character, my screen reader will see a line feed as the last character, even though I didn't insert one. PB's EditorGadgets don't have this ...

PB's rich edit control is the only edit control I've seen do this. wxWidget's wxRichTextCtrl doesn't do it, nor does wordpad.
Good catch on the \rs nsstudios, I never would've thought to check that.

Thanks for testing.

The Rich Text Editor control only returns the CF_OEMTEXT format to the clipboard, and some programs can't handle this when pasting.
So this is an incompatibility between the Rich Text Editor control and the other programs (e.g., Notepad) and not a PureBasic bug.

I'll use the ...

... Stack Overflow answer about how to eliminate the frankly incredibly annoying message beep that occurs when doing many actions in an EditorGadget/rich text control. However, COM in PB terrifies me and I'm frankly horrible at it, and have no idea how to do any of this. I figured one of the wizards ...

Yeah, that looks like rich text to me, because there's two different font sizes. So I was right in my initial comment.
