UserLibraries - Pack 24.10.2003

[GPI]

Since Purebasic grows, many user wrote Purebasic-Userlibrarys to extend the syntax (new Commands).
Often this new libs are used in snippets and many Users did'nt have the needed Userlibs installed, or got in trouble with double installed libs/ commands.
This tool is designed to solve the problem with installed/not installed userlibs and different versions.
You are able to install them as a whole package, everthing needed is included.

For the users of jaPBE there is a little bonus. There is a Definition-File for japbe included, so all the commands become a calltip. Also jaPBE open the right helpfile for every Command, if there is a native Help-file or only a Readme-textfile.

3. Removed Libs

Because of double command-names, following Libs must be removed:

URLCode


4. Missing Libs:

PureTools (including CPUMonitor, SkinWin and SkunkLib) is missing, because Danilo don't want, that his beta-Version is everywhere in Net.
You have to download (from purearea.net) and install it seperatly.


5. Copyrights and others

The Library - Authors own the copyright on there Libs. So please respect their terms and rights.
UserLibraries Pack is NOT part of jaPBe and me (GPI) don't write any of this Libs!
The UserLibraries Pack is free of charge. Never it is allowed to sell UserLibraries Pack.

If you have any Problems using the libs, feel free to ask the author of the lib with a post in the forum or email him a notice. Please read the help-files carefully, most problems can be solved while reading the help. Otherwise you can get in trouble, for example the DNHWare Library can damage your Monitor in some cases ("Finally, playing about with powermodes on a monitor that doesn`t support it could seriouly damage the monitor !!!", DN_Vesa* commands)

Feel free to add it to the pack

[NoahPhense]

Could you package that as a zip or rar? Would be appreciated.

- john

When you tell me a good reason, i will do it. But the UserLibraries-Pack schould be as easy as possible and a installprogram is much easier for beginners than a zip.

[Psychophanta]

That's a good idea, GPI.

[Grumble]

After installation of this pack (great idea B.T.W) jaPBe gives an error after which I cannot compile anything anymore :

Code: Select all

Fatal compiler error.
Duplicated Library Command: FastCloseTextFile()(in libraries FASTFILETEXT and FASTFILETEXT)
Terminate Compiler

I had installed the FASTFILETEXT library earlier, but from the supplied information I understood that this shouldn't be a problem.

Any idea how to solve this ?

[GPI]

You have installed your first FastTextFile in the wrong directory (i think you put it in "Purelibraries"). After installation of the pack, it exist also a FastTextFile in "Purelibraries\Userlibraries". Userlibraries should always copy in "Purelibraries\Userlibraries"! PBCompiler (not japbe! happend also on PB-IDE) found this lib twice and so you get the error. Remove the file in PureLibraries.

[Grumble]

Thanks, that solves it ! Seems I'm definitely a member of your "target audience" :roll:

[dontmailme]

Any chance of doing an English version too ? for us mono-lingual people in Britain ?

You don't really want, that i translate the text...

But maybe somebody here translate it and share it.

here a little help:

Code: Select all

;AppBar

/Constant
#ABE_TOP 
#ABE_LEFT 
#ABE_RIGHT 
#ABE_BOTTOM 
/Procedure
AppBarCanAutohide () - Is AutoHide active?
AppBarIsFloat () - Is docked?
AppBarNew (WindowID,Size,Edge,UserMessage) - Create a new AppBar; Edge can be #ABE_Top/Left/Right/Bottom
AppBarRemove (WindowID) - Remove a AppBar
AppBarSetAutoHide (WindowID,Flag) - Set AppBar AutoHide-Flag
AppBarSetFloat (WindowID,Size) - Undock a AppBar
AppBarSetFloatHeightWidth (Height,Width) - Set Width and Height of a Appbar
AppBarSetPos (Edge,Size) - Dock a Appbar to a edge 
SetAppBarOptions (WindowID,Flag) - Set the "On Top"-Flag

and in the "purebasic\examples\userlibraries" you found a example.
