Another excellent update.

What data return function IsHID()? If it is not a pointer to a structure hid_device, then how can one get it?

Just wanted to drop by and state my appreciation for this upcoming release! I got a software development job and haven't been touching pb as much these days, but it's a great hobby tool and I love the new InputRequester flag

Relatively new to PB and looking at the new ScreenWindow and gadgets. It looks like these build on the 2D screen library, and as such use OpenGL. Is it possible to open an OpenGL gadget on top of a screen? If so, how do you manage the OpenGL context switching?
(Yes, I have a reason for doing this... I want to pass the OpenGL context in a positioned gadget to an external library for it to draw while I'm managing the enclosing UI, which will contain other "portal" gadgets (eg webviews) as well).

Tested the HID library in the project FM tuner for PC (text is on russian language, use google-translate) on Windows, Linux and MacOS and it works stably.

Thanks for the feedback !

I figured out how to do it.

Code: Select all

Procedure HID_ID(HID)
  Protected id=0
  
  id = IsHID(HID)
  If id
    id=PeekI(id)
  EndIf
  
  ProcedureReturn id
EndProcedure

The procedure will return a pointer to structure hid_device or 0 if the device is not open.

Any chance of seeing this in 6.30? viewtopic.php?p=635679

Hi Fred,
It would be nice to have ../PureBasic/Residents/UserResidents folder for constants. Something like ../PureBasic/PureLibraries/UserLibraries folder for libraries.

PureLibrary has made my programming journey so much more pleasant. Thank you.

Good idea

[thyphoon]

A little idea. Could you add a line to the build log that prints all link-time dependencies (DT_NEEDED) of the binary, and also list the runtime dependencies (shared libraries) needed to run the compiled program (Linux) ?

.. and also list the runtime dependencies (shared libraries) needed to run the compiled program (Linux) ?

You can use ldd to find out the needed libs.

Thank you , I wasn't aware of this command. I didn't even think to check if it was possible to do it directly
Too much Windows in my life!
