Newbie Help Please

I just downloaded version 4 beta11 and when I try to compile, I get a compiler error, 'Bad parameter type, number expected instead of string" on the following line.

Code: Select all

winID=OpenWindow(#_win, 0,0, 640,480, #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_MaximizeGadget|#PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_TitleBar|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered , "Text")

I've tried different code from this forum and keep getting errors on the openwindow line.

Thanks in advance

Use the updated help file

The reason you're getting errors is because the syntax is a little changed in the beta version, and you're trying to run old code.

I see now,

I took for granted that the code would work in all V4 betas.

Thanks

I think the Debuger output is very clear...

It is clear....now that I know that the syntax has changed.

I'm new to purebasic and so when some code says it was for V4, I thought maybe I was getting errors because I did not install properly.

Thanks for clearing that up.
