Fred, can you tell me/us the features of v3

Personally I'm interested in the Event bugs with some gadgets, right mouse click should work also on child objects not only on parent window. In the forum is my code to get this event under:
All Forums/Beginners/Need a codesnipped with CreateWindowEx_

Also I need to know if building PureLibraries with PureBasic is possible.
Otherwise I have to compile the finished PureGUI to a DLL, but I don't like this idea, don't know which new problems will occur then.

Haven't coded with PureBasic since end of February because of this.
If v3 has no changes in this matter, I have to write my own hardcoded window and event handler. And It takes me longer and longer and longer... to finish my project for the public.

Have a nice day...

Hmm 68 people read this topic but still no answer?

Nobody want's to know

And nobody knows anything

That's strange...

Thanks Fred for the list - this is truly appreciated.
Don't want to waste much of your precious time but:

There is no 'NOT' keyword in the list, and a printer library is not mentioned...

Thanks, and happy coding

BTW: Assume I have to code my own event handler for the above mentioned problems (in the 1st mail) ?

Have a nice day...

ToogleGadget()

Hey Fred, what's a ToogleGadget() ??? (EVIL GRIN) Must be a brother to the new GoogleGadget I heard about (/me falls out of chair and breaks everything else)

P.s Will there be ListIconGadget single/doubleclick (and others for it) as desperately needed?

(Sigh, 2 more weeks in plaster damn it)

Umm...

Is my sight going or did you forget to list the Printer Library??
I don't seem to see it under the "Done" or "To Do" list.

You have been promising this one for a while now

It's just a forget. It will HAVE a printer library. Definitely.

I really can't be on this forum as much as I'd like; so I can't always follow everything that is going on as far as what still works and what doesn't work and which files from purebasic.com\update directory I should be using..

..I read that Mr.Skunk's reglib is now broken which would make may keykill utility useless - is this true? I haven't been able to contact Mr.Skunk.

it would be nice if the \update directory had a plain text file with a line or two of explanation as to what the changes to each lib affects and how.

I'm also leery of writing any code once again because of my old argument of things changing and invalidating code I've written. Either due to someone's library breaking or as in the case of the re-arrangement of the dll paramaters.

I suppose I should now go to the sites that I posted my source code on and have it removed? Is everyone doing this when they find out something has changed?

lost my reg backup utils on my other pc when it died...

No one answered that. My program works fine that was compiled BEFORE.
I am just afraid to work on improving that program if the library is
broken because I do not know what would happen with a new .exe using
the 'broken' library. I hope this helps you understand my question.

TronDoc, I can answer from my own experience that *Most* of Mr Skunk's libraries don't work on my system running PB v3.0.

But, having said that, Paul of the PB resources site generously helped me wor out a replacement for the registry and the INI handling functions using thw Windows API that were smaller, faster and very, very easy to substitute!!

He has provided sample code on his site and trust me when I say, it will not break your code.

Many thanks Fangles. I'll check it out right away!

checked them out...

I don't see a way to delete a Registry Key;
only to Read or Write keys...
