Hi,

I found some functions (like starttimer, endtimer etc) in the history section. I cant find the documentation for these functions. I am sure there will be many more such 'hidden functions'. So where are the help files for these? Let me know please.

Thanks,
Anil

Hi anil.
You will also notice that the Timer Library along with the CallCOM Library were created by Danilo. If you do a search on this board, you will find examples posted by Danilo on how to use them.

Hey Danilo, didn't you say at one time you were going to make some help files for these commands?

Thank you for your reply Paul. I feel that if any libraries are included in the official version of PureBasic, the proper documentation should also be included.

Danilo, if you send me all already available doc & examples, I will make help files for including the libs in the official help file...

I think I know what Anil's getting at. Not "ALL" native
PB commands are in the Help documentation.

My Problem:
A few weeks ago, I was trying to find a command that would
return the length of the CHOOSECOLORAPI structure.

I had been looking for something along the lines of
LEN(), but it returns the length of a "string".

I searched the Help file but couldn't find anything useful.

With some help from Paul, he pointed to the SizeOf command which
worked perfectly.

I tried to find it in the Help file, but only found a reference to it in the
History section.

Is it possible that someone could post a simple text file with
ALL PB commands and reserved words. This would be handy, if I
decide to make a PB Editor which would colour the PB syntax.

Regards

Just looked in my computer's PureBasic folder and found:
c:\PureBasic\Compilers\PBFunctionListing.txt

I converted it to a Word.doc and printed it out. Now I have a
list of all keywords.

Still doesn't explain why some of these aren't in PureBasic.chm
but at least I can use these sheets as a second check!

Well well well... I didnt even know the listing exsisted! That's a relief. PureBasic is a GREAT product but someone from the team should try to keep the help files as updated as possible complete with the examples.

By the way, does anyone have a full featured and stable POP3 and SMTP dll? Let me know.

Cheers,
Anil
