Undependeable Gadget Handle

[Fred]

It's a good idea, I modified the permissions, it should now work with the link.

[luis]

Very nice, thank you Fred !

[IdeasVacuum]

That is a geat idea

Thank you.

I tried on OS X and it works for 32k as well, so I raised to limit to that.

Is this new 32k-limit true only for ScrollAreaGadget?

[Fred]

for all gadgets

[Lord]

for all gadgets

So a CanvasGadget can have up to 32kx32k as long as the
mentioned 2GB limit is not hit and has always a trustable handle?

[Fred]

Should be.

[Lord]

Should be.

That sounds great!
May I ask what the reason was why it didn't work before?

Should be.

May I ask another question?
How do you define 32k?
In my opinion it should be 32768 or $8000.
It looks like you defined 32767 or $7FFF.
Why? Is it because a ScrollAresGadget is
limited to 32767 by Windows for what ever
the reason is for that? You know, a Canvas
can have 32768 width without problems.

A nice feature is now, if you disable Debugger, you can
really test wether a Canvas was succsessful created or
not. If a handle is delieverd, the Canvas is useable. Even
if you start with 65536 down to what ever your memory
allows.
Thanks for this "bugfix" in LTS 5.21b1.

The question above is still not answered, even after PureBasic 5.21 LTS.

[Fred]

Yes, it's $7FFF

[Lord]

Yes, it's $7FFF

Windows limit or PureBasic limit?

[Fred]

Usually, word limited range is from 0 to $7FFF (32768 values), that's why we set this maximum value, for consitency. It's a PB limit, and if you want to remove it, just disable the debugger.

I don't see an consistency here.

If it should be consistent, you should also set the limits
for color to 254, 254, 254. That would be a range of 255 ($FF).
And it is also inconsistent to a CanvasGadget with its $ 3E80
limits.
Another example: CatchImage works for 8192x8192 ($2000x$2000)
from 0 to 8191 ($1FFFF)
I think it should be the other way around:
Range = $8000 (32768), Limits: 0 and $7FFF (32767)
[also for Canvas ($4000, 0 to $3FFF), but this is another story]

So you can keep color settings from 0 to $FF (Range of $100)
for consistency.
