Wow, thank you! Merry Christmas.

[GoodNPlenty]

Thank You Fred and team for a wonderful Christmas surprise. Merry Christmas to all!

[Fred]

Many thanks Fred. I'm very happy about the new functions. CustomSortList() .
However, did I something wrong or are there no documentations for the new function in the beta version?

The doc will be available later when the new commandset is frozen.

Ok. But then it is difficult to test the new beta.
What should be the return value for the compare procedure in CustomSortList()? Only True/False or -1/0/1 ?
For what is the Flag in CompareStructure/CompareArray/... ?

Added: #PB_EventType_ColumnClick for ListIconGadget()
Added: ListIconGaget() column alignment support

I've been waiting 10 years for this! This really is a great Christmas surprise. Many thanks Fred! Merry Christmas!

Excellent!
most of the new functionality is what I was struggling with for the last 6 months and writing (it seems) unnecessary native code.
Thank you Fred!

Thank you very much. You added a lot of useful function.

Here is a small WebView example to get you started.

It’s strange, but it says that the gadget is uninitialized. Win 10 x64. PB x64.

So now that XP dropped whats the minimum version OFFICIALLY required ? Win7/8/10 ?

Ah... I wonder if that's why I'm getting an Invalid Memory Access error on line 47, because it's an attempt to bind an event to an uninitialized gadget

Many thanks, Fred and Freak And Merry Christmas to all

Absolutely.

I played a little bit, and the following seems to work (note that PB 6.10 has 3 new #PB_Sort_* constants):

Code: Select all

; PB 6.10 beta 1

EnableExplicit

Macro NewElement (_list_, _element_)
   AddElement(_list_) : _list_ = _element_
EndMacro

Macro ShowList (_list_)
   ForEach _list_
      Debug _list_
   Next  
EndMacro

Procedure.i Compare (*x1.String, *x2.String)
   If *x1\s < *x2\s
      ProcedureReturn #PB_Sort_Lesser
   ElseIf *x1\s > *x2\s
      ProcedureReturn #PB_Sort_Greater
   Else
      ProcedureReturn #PB_Sort_Equal
   EndIf   
EndProcedure


NewList a$()

NewElement(a$(), "ghi")
NewElement(a$(), "xyz")
NewElement(a$(), "ghi")
NewElement(a$(), "abc")

ShowList(a$())
Debug "------"
CustomSortList(a$(), @Compare(), #PB_Sort_Ascending)
ShowList(a$())
Debug "------"
CustomSortList(a$(), @Compare(), #PB_Sort_Descending)
ShowList(a$())

Added: Parent window support to all requesters

What does this mean? Unclear.

Added: 'Encoding' optional parameter to OpenPreference()

How to use it?
ini file (ascii encoding).

Code: Select all

Ключ = значение
Key = value

pb file

Code: Select all

Debug OpenPreferences("Test.txt", 0, #PB_Ascii)
Debug ReadPreferenceString("Ключ", "")
Debug ReadPreferenceString("Key", "")

Result of executing this code

Code: Select all

280

value

But the result must be

Code: Select all

280
значение
value

Yippee!! Thanks team!

Added: Parent window support to all requesters

ColorRequester, InputRequester, FontRequester, OpenFileRequester, PathRequester (Did I miss any?) now have a ParentID parameter so you can set which window you want to be the requester's parent.
