Clearing a text area.

oToom · Post by **oToom** » Fri May 09, 2008 9:02 pm

Okay well.

I am coding something to help me get going.
Just a little annoying program for msn.
A small spammer.
I want to be able to clear the textbox. (StringGadget)

Could someone help me.

Code: Select all

Repeat
        
          Select WaitWindowEvent()
          
            Case #PB_Event_Gadget
            
              Select EventGadget()
              
                Case 1
                  
                  
              EndSelect
              
            Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
              Break
              
          EndSelect
          
        ForEver

Did you try:

Code: Select all

SetGadgetText(#STR_GADGET, "")

Damn this could get some getting used to.
Thanks for your help.

Was quick too.
But the spammer is harder than i though lol.
All i need it to do is spam some messages to a contact.

So far i have something very basic.

Code: Select all

OpenWindow(0, 321, 206, 319, 140, "nwSpammer",  #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_TitleBar )
  
  CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))
      ButtonGadget(1, 200, 70, 90, 20, "Clear")
      StringGadget(2, 70, 50, 220, 20, "")
      TextGadget(3, 20, 50, 40, 20, "Text:")
      TextGadget(4, 70, 70, 60, 20, "F9 = Start")
      TextGadget(5, 140, 70, 60, 20, "F11 = Stop")
      Frame3DGadget(6, 10, 10, 300, 90, "nwSpammer")
      TextGadget(7, 90, 110, 150, 20, "Coded by: nwData // oToom", #PB_Text_Center)
      
      
        Repeat
        
          Select WaitWindowEvent()
          
            Case #PB_Event_Gadget
            
              Select EventGadget()
              
                Case 1
                  SetGadgetText(2, "") 
                  
                  
              EndSelect
              
            Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
              Break
              
          EndSelect
          
        ForEver

Just to clearify ...

You want to write a program that constantly sends a user defined string to the text input window of MS Messenger to piss other people of?

oToom · Post by **oToom** » Fri May 09, 2008 11:42 pm

Lol, not to piss people off.
I do it with an interval not straight after each other. etc.

I just would like to code one to help me learn.

I am so impressed with your new attitude Fluid Byte. oToom has admitted to coding...

but you are willing to give him a chance to explain himself before you go all Monkey Boy on his a55. You have come a such long way in such a short time.

@oToom: You'll find your stay here much more pleasant if you ask coding questions in regards to projects that are helpful/useful rather than ones that are annoying/useless.

Okey dokey. Delete this mwhaha.

What you mean by more pleasent.

Asking for help on annoying projects will not bring you much joy from some fellow PB'ers.

Honestly, it's maybe not the best idea for a beginner to start with a chat spammer for MSN ...

PS: Listen to Sparkie! That old geezer always got some fine tips.

Yep, I just love that new Fluid Byte attitude. If I wasn't getting ready to take my geezer nap, I'd...I'd...awwwww crap!!! I forgot what I was gonna do to you monkey boy

oToom: If you learn to code a chat program rather than and chat annoyer, you will accomplish twice as much.

The limit, believe it or not, is your imagination!

Be creative but not destructive!

oToom, while waiting for Kale's book, take a look at http://www.xs4all.nl/~bluez/datatalk/purebasic.htm for some help in getting started.
