How well are pb versions tested?
Posted: Tue Jan 06, 2004 9:35 pm
After several months i still see a multiline stringgadget still not being able to scroll down.
How can it be no one notices this too?
Am i wrong?
(ES_AUTOVSCROLL etc..)
Several of my more technical topics remain unanswered.
Like the 'bug' i presented using that global hook.
A 'side-effect' on so called not thread safe internal string handling.
This IS a serious matter, when i declare a variable to be protected, i assume a variable for that scope.
I'm not sure but i guess a recursive function will go bad this way either.
Since that person mentioned global hook runs in another thread i strongly debate this.
While this forum gives enough help on beginners questions, it remains having unanswered questions on the more inner workings of pb.
I'm not per se interested in the internals of pb but some parts are working poor like a simple persistant hook using windows API on a pb window for example.
This is not allowed unless you make special preparations.
A similar problem in VB can occure though but i still see it as normal doings.
If i knew of the variable scope problem of certain variable types i could have make a better decision.
I like most of the pb language but there are some internals simply not working as expected.
Even more, very much depending stuff imo.
Maybe i get this wrong but it's hard to find solutions for my problem via the help.
Help contains only common how-to's.
The harder stuff is spreaded in form of libraries no one can investigate or even maybe created in another language and therefore less depending on pb itself?
There goes a learning curve.
Note that i'm not after messing up this forum but as said, a few important questions to me are simply not being answered by the pb authors while they could imo.
I find this very odd and i expect more on such questions, therefore this message again.
Hope to finally have lit the fire over here a little bit.
Yes there are users who want more by themselves and not willing to depend on 3th party stuff/libs.
Hoping for the best..
