PureBasic 6.10 LTS is out !

[Lebostein]

Code: Select all

CreatePreferences(Filename$, #PB_Preference_NoBOM)

Select EventType()
	Case #PB_EventType_ColumnClick
		Debug "ColumnClick"
EndSelect

Fingerprint(*Buffer , Size , #PB_Cipher_HMAC, Bits)

You must have misunderstood me. The new constants are not defined at all under Mac OS. The compiler reports "syntax error"

I hate to appear stupid,:but everyone else here seems to know where to get this beta. Can anyone give me a pointer to the download?

It's in your User Account at purebasic.com. Where did you look for it?

[jayand]

Thanks. It seems I need new glasses. I looked there earlier, but failed to see the link.

I tested the code with WebViewGadget from the first post in Win 7, Win 8 and Win 10, and the window is always empty (gadget is not initialized).
Does anyone have this code working fine?

WebGadget when using a flag #PB_Web_Edge it is also not initialized.
Is this a bug?

It works well here on Windows 11. I can't test on any other Windows version.

I just tested it on Windows 11 and Windows 10 ( It took a few seconds of a white screen due to junky hardware, but it worked fine) .
both worked for me...

Do you have the latest version of MS Edge browser ( chrome based ) installed? I'm not a Windows user but I think you need that to ensure you have WebView2 on your system.

[User_Russian]

I installed Edge browser, but WebViewGadget still doesn't work.

[User_Russian]

It turned out that need to install WebView2 Runtime https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/m ... /webview2/
This will make it difficult to distribute applications with WebViewGadget.
Runtime size 170 MB. It is more than .NET Framework.

[Fred]

Yes you need the runtime, it's available natively on all Windows 11, and should be available on all up to date Windows 10. If not you can distribute the evergreen runtime installer which is the recommended way to ship your app.

In the executable file created in PB 6.10 I found the text

mscoree.dll CorExitProcess

Now the application depends on .NET Framework?

Great stuff. But I need a little assistance and think I've missed something: ListIconGadget - what flag values do I specify for column alignment?

I've answered my own question. I'm running on Mac M1 with Sonoma 14.2.1. The constants for 6.10 beta 1 are not defined. After a bit of skulduggery, I've found that if I declare the required constants in my own code, new functionality for alignment of columns in ListIconGadget works a treat.

Code: Select all

;
; PB specific - new with v6.1b, not yet formally declared on MacOS.
;
#PB_ListIcon_Left = 0
#PB_ListIcon_Right = 1
#PB_ListIcon_Center = 2

#PB_ListIcon_ColumnAlignment = 5

;
;  Now use the SetGadgetItemAttribute function to set alignment for listicongadget where:
;  First parameter listbox = gadget ID of listicongadget
;  Second parameter is ignored, just pass in 0
;  Third parameter is new constant #PB_ListIcon_ColumnAlignment, which is instruction for aligning column in listicongadget
;  Fourth parameter is new constant value, a choice between #PB_ListIcon_Left, #PB_ListIcon_Right and #PB_ListIcon_Center
;  Fifth parameter is index number of column in listicongadget, where column numbering starts at 0.
; 
; In following example (commented out), shows setting the alignment for fifth column of listicongadget to be right aligned.
;
; SetGadgetItemAttribute(listicongadget, 0, #PB_ListIcon_ColumnAlignment, #PB_ListIcon_Right,4) 

I hope this is found to be useful. I expect in newer code releases that the need to specifically declare these constants in your apps will be removed.

Thank you very much for this great update.

No. Use dependencies walker to see which dll is used.
