Win Api to MacOs Api

[JoRo]

If have only some Api calls to replace:

GetSystemTime_(st)
GetWindowRect_(Fenster3,pos)
SetWindowPos_(WindowID(),#HWND_TOPMOST,WindowX(),WindowY(),WindowWidth(),WindowHeight(),0)
ShowWindow_(Fenster1,#SW_MAXIMIZE)
GetfileTime_(ReadFile(1,GetPath(#GetPath_Windows)+"bootstat.dat"),0,0,stf)
FileTimeToSystemTime_(@stf,stfa)
getkeystate_(#VK_RBUTTON)
getasynckeystate_(#VK_RBUTTON)
FindWindow_(0,Sprache_v1(218))
GetFullPathName_("GeoControl.exe",255,Buffer,path.s)
InvalidateRect_(Fenster1,0,1)
UpdateWindow_(Fenster1)

For hints where to find and how to do, I really would be thankful.
Remarks:
The PB function "IsWindow" delivers #true, if the window was opened once, but does not check, whether is was closed in between.
The mousebuttons are needed, because I have a lot of drawing in Windowoutput (image sizes usually form 1024*1024 to 4096*4096)

The PB function "IsWindow" delivers #true, if the window was opened once, but does not check, whether is was closed in between.

That's not correct. Just check this:

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 400, 300, "", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu)
Debug IsWindow(0)
CloseWindow(0)
Debug IsWindow(0)

A bit short that snippet, to proof it.

[JoRo]

But your are right, I IsWindow is working fine!
so first Api function replaced!

[JoRo]

with PB 4 except the get keystate functions, all other api calls were no longer necessary.

GetSystemTime_(st): Can be replaced by the functions in the date library.

GetWindowRect_(Fenster3, pos): Cannot be directly replaced because it accounts for window decoration. But chances are that you don't need to know about window decoration, so this can be replaced by WindowX(), WindowY(), WindowWidth() and WindowHeight().

SetWindowPos_(WindowID(),#HWND_TOPMOST,WindowX(),WindowY(),WindowWidth(),WindowHeight(),0): Better replace with StickyWindow(). As you do it know, you make the window smaller because PB's window functions does not calculate with window borders and decoration while SetWindowPos_() does.

ShowWindow_(Fenster1, #SW_MAXIMIZE): Replace with PB call SetWindowState().

GetfileTime_(): Replace with GetFileDate()

ReadFile(1,GetPath(#GetPath_Windows)+"bootstat.dat"),0,0,stf): Chances are that bootstat.dat is a windows only file if it is in the windows directory.

getkeystate_(#VK_RBUTTON)
getasynckeystate_(#VK_RBUTTON)
FindWindow_(0,Sprache_v1(218))
GetFullPathName_("GeoControl.exe",255,Buffer,path.s)
InvalidateRect_(Fenster1,0,1)
UpdateWindow_(Fenster1)
Don't know.
