PureBasic 3.91 Beta 1

[Fred]

I just tried it and it seems to work. Do you have a snippet where it fails ?

[GPI]

From the MSDN:

S_OK
The COM library was initialized successfully on this thread.
S_FALSE
The COM library is already initialized on this thread.

Maybe there's something I'm missing here?

BTW: Where is the problem:
#S_OK: Initalized successfull -> You can use it
#S_FALSE: Allready initalized -> You can use it

Or do i missunderstand something?

@Fred/Everyone
I was wrong about it being PB... It was actually the EC OLE Image Plugin.... Which is very odd seeing as I was using this plugin long before this beta version...???

Code: Select all

UseEC_OLEImageDecoder()
Ret=CoInitialize_(0)
Select Ret
  Case #S_OK
    Debug "#S_OK"
  Case #S_FALSE
    Debug "#S_FALSE"
EndSelect

Try commenting out the UseEC_OLEImageDecoder() line to see what I mean...


@GPI
I did say I was using the code:

Code: Select all

if CoInitialize_(#NULL)=#S_OK
;/Do something

It's only a problem if it isn't documented that COM is already initialized...

Visual C++ support. This should come in very useful indeed.
I know it is a simple request (and yes i know someone will post the ASM work around), but is there a chance you could add the VOID type that C has. It is a sorely missed type, especially when dealing with C libraries.

[El_Choni]

That plugin initializes COM access at program start, because it needs it, and uninitializes it at program end. There shouldn't be any problem with it as long as your own CoInitialize has a corresponding CoUninitialize.

However, be sure to use the last version of the plugin (2.3)

The VOID type would be very welcome indeed, especially so if we would also get type casts.

Please no bugreports here, they will probably be overlooked.

Hi,

is there a beta Version for Mac OS X ?

Im a willing Betatester )

[KarLKoX]

(Visual C++ lib are now accepted

They were allready accepted, at least, i get no problems to use them since i use purebasic (3.61 or so), but now it is official
Btw, PellesC can't compile my userlib written in C but lcc does, this compiler does strange things :roll:

[Psychophanta]

Hi to all PB team, and to all users PBadmirers & lovers.
Thanks again Fred

I wonder if the visual c++ thing is part of fred's plan to import a vc++ directx lib directly into PB .....

nuclearglory has a pretty good collision system, but its in vc++ and i'm not sure how to use it in PB. Perhaps all this will change in version PB4

I was able to compile true color icons before this beta release. Is there something I need to do to turn this back on? Here is an example (posted in another thread)


Thanks!

Thanks!

The problem is porc, which doesn't support 24-bit-Icons.

[Fred]

Is it possible to get this icon or another one which fails ? The XP like icons we tried seems to be behave correctly. Thanks !
