Nice 8)
This is great to get the SQLite bug fixes/improvements without delay or having to manage a SQLite wrapper.

To access the database commands, are the normal PureBasic database functions used or DLL library functions?
Also, are there any plans to implement fts5 in the static lib?
The flag is just the DLL pathname, similar to UseMySQLDatabase(). About FTS5 and other option, that's also why the DLL is an option too, because SQlite can be built with a lot of flags and we can't support them all in a single static lib
Thank you very much for explaining. I have been able to now use the DLL. FTS5 does work, too, this way. Normal database functions work. Means minimal changes to my source code. Great!

Thanks Fred and Fantasy team.

Do you plan to correct bugs about the Form Designer ?

I see the same old bugs since many years (e.g. columns management for listview). May be you are not aware of that.

A .CPL file can run as normal exe. Just try Win+R and type "intl.cpl" (yes with extension)

So you can use .CPL (and any othe registered files type) directly:

Code: Select all

RunProgram("intl.cpl", "", "")
:wink:

in my 1st Post above , everything worked perfectly in PB5.41LTS -vs- PB5.71Beta1 ,

thanks Marc56us ,
RunProgram("intl.cpl", "", "") works for most of them :)

but these don't seem to work : :(
RunProgram("firewall.cpl","","") ;<<--- Window's Firewall Settings
RunProgram("wuaucpl.cpl","","") ;<<--- Automatic Updates
RunProgram("nusrmgr.cpl","","") ;<<--- User Accounts

and these just display the very same Screen : ( no differences )
RunProgram("desk.cpl","","1") ;<<--- Screen Saver Settings
RunProgram("desk.cpl","","2") ;<<--- Personalization Settings
RunProgram("desk.cpl","","3") ;<<--- Screen Resolution Settings

anyone know a Fix or Solution for these remaining 6 that don't quite work correctly ??

PB 5.41 is an old version with support for ASCII compilation. Starting with version 5.50, PB only supports Unicode compilation.

Did you use the ASCII compilation mode with PB 5.41? If so, that might explain the difference between your experiences with PB 5.41 and PB 5.71 beta 1, and WinExec_() might not be able to properly process a Unicode string as first parameter.

Looks like Little John called it with Ascii vs Unicode...

Code: Select all

Procedure.s Uni2Ascii(Pointer)
  Buffer.s=Space(512)
  WideCharToMultiByte_(#CP_ACP,0,Pointer,-1,@Buffer,512,0,0)
  ProcedureReturn Buffer
EndProcedure

Procedure RunControlPanelApplet(AppletName.s)
  Protected runstr.s = "rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL " + AppletName.s
  ProcedureReturn WinExec_(Uni2Ascii(@runstr), #SW_SHOWNORMAL)
EndProcedure

RunControlPanelApplet("desk.cpl,,1")
RunControlPanelApplet("desk.cpl,,2")
RunControlPanelApplet("desk.cpl,,3")

Yes .

However , now in PB5.41LTS with or without Encoding:UTF8 or with or without Compiler Options checked [x] Create Unicode Executable ... does not display any Screen popup
same thing happens with new PB5.71Beta1
RunProgram("firewall.cpl","","") ;<<--- Window's Firewall Settings
RunProgram("wuaucpl.cpl","","") ;<<--- Automatic Updates
RunProgram("nusrmgr.cpl","","") ;<<--- User Accounts

but , this all works correctly in PB5.41LTS "only" Compiling without Unicode
Case 161 : RunControlPanelApplet("intl.cpl") ;<--- Region and Language Keyboard Settings
Case 162 : RunControlPanelApplet("") ;<--- Control Panel Folder
;Case 163 : RunControlPanelApplet("appwiz.cpl") ;<--- Install or Uninstall Programs

along with

Protected runstr.s = "rundll32.exe shell32.dll, Control_RunDLL " + AppletName.s
ProcedureReturn WinExec_(runstr, #SW_SHOWNORMAL)
EndProcedure


i'd love to get new PB5.71Beta1 to work correctly with :
RunProgram("firewall.cpl","","") ;<<--- Window's Firewall Settings
RunProgram("wuaucpl.cpl","","") ;<<--- Automatic Updates
RunProgram("nusrmgr.cpl","","") ;<<--- User Accounts
but nothing displays , no matter what settings i use :(

and these do not display correctly either no matter what i change in new PB5.71Beta1 :
RunProgram("desk.cpl","","1") ;<<--- Screen Saver Settings
RunProgram("desk.cpl","","2") ;<<--- Personalization Settings
RunProgram("desk.cpl","","3") ;<<--- Screen Resolution Settings

Little John , are they working for you in new PB5.71Beta1 in WIN10 ??
i'm testing in Windows 8.0 ... i need to test this in Win10

Thank you Fred, for this intermediate bug fix version. These should really come more frequently.
And many thanks as well to RSBasic for his list of solved bugs. Great idea !
