Thanks a lot! Just one question: If StatusBarIcon() is a deprecated function, what should I use to replace (If this was mentioned in instruction: I keept the german version from PB 4.20)?

Ha yes, we forgot to mention that.
It has been renamed to StatusBarImage(), and it now does not display the icon next to the text anymore, but needs a separate field for the image.
This change is in preparation for some StatusBar rework in 4.40, so we do not have to rename the command then.

Much appreciated, thank you!

Using the EXE installer on Windows, is it necessary to uninstall the Beta 2 version previously, or can the Beta 3 version be installed "over" it?

Regards, Little John

You should be able to install it over it.

As a question does compiled exe have Engine.dll built into the exe?

Post by **Fred** » Thu Oct 02, 2008 7:56 pm

No, and it won't ever as the DLL is LGPL, so it has to be apart of the exe.

Ah ok just thought I would ask

Has threading changed in PB4.3b3 as I have a function called UpdateNetwork( *Dummy ), I call it with CreateThread( @UpdateNetwork(), 0 ) but I get the following error.

[ERROR] The Procedure specified in '@ProcedureName()' does not have the required argument or return type

EDIT: fixed it the procedure had a return type this was ok in 4.3b2 but is pounced on in beta 3

Please don't post such question in a announcement topic.
