Hi WolfgangS
I think the reason that they are not listen in the PureGuide is, that the #Flags are API Flags and if you want add ALL WinAPI #Flags to the PureGuide with a small info how to use (explaining) the new PureGuide would be some MB´s - I still think its still to mutch stuff if you would add any API #Flag we could use in combination or as extension to the standard PureCommands...

Btw i think most guys are still using the API MessageBox() instead of MessageRequester() due fact of size and to have pure small API...!?

Because of the reason I gave at that very URL. Why put those flags in
the docs when Amiga/Linux users can't use them? It would confuse some
newbies who are doing cross-platform apps. Consider them a "power user"
thing.

Hi !
Isn't it impossible to add the information: "Only for Win32" users ??

...


I know, it isn't possible to put ALL infos into it, but how about the 'Most important' ?? Right in this moment i'm here to look at my own posting to get the info about a warning MessageRequester. AND i don't talk about processing the results from a Messagerequester with the #PB_MessageRequester_YesNoCancel flag.

Hi WolfgangS
I think generell it would be possible to add only for the Win32 version the Win32 API #Flags!

But please note that PureBasic is platforum independent as PB said... I think Fred has only one version of docs (where he only need to write for which system the command/lib will work) and has only to compile/link/pack all the docs to a new final for every OS he want...

If Fred would add extra for the Windows version all the API #Flags for MessageRequester() for example, he have to work every time on two differnt versions of docs... and there its very fast possible to make mistakes in the docs...

But its Freds way...

The problem is this: If Fred adds only what he thinks is important,
someone will still complain that it's not enough. I don't think he
needs that sort of hassle on his plate, especially when anyone can
download a list of API constants for themself. If anything, perhaps
Fred should just add a web link in the documentation that points to
an API list, such as the one found here:

When i want to know the constants for MessageRequester,
i simply type "MessageBox_()" and press F1 on it...
...so the Win32.hlp pops up and i can cut&paste the flags.

Its soo easy.
