I try use library ConsoleX, but got the follow error:
"The following PureLibrary is missing: WindowExtension"
I know what "WindowExtension" library was replaced by "Window", but what next?

Maybe it's because you are trying to use a PB3.9x userlibrary with PB4.0x.

I was waiting for tailbite to be finished for v4 before I recompile the library. Anyone have any ideas when this may be?

Many of the links on your page doesn't work, including the ConsoleX lib. 404

The current version ( 1.3 PR1.8 ) compiles all my libs with success ( using PB4.00 ; PB4.01 not tested )).

I find the current version of Tailbite quite reliable if you just avoid using Import, Prototype and optional parameters. Anything you need to open a dll for, stick to OpenLibrary and you'll be in good shape. But it sure would be nice to see an update, it's been over five months.

I will look at sorting it out the b4 the weekend.

I agree.
Remarks :
- I use Import for PureZIP, so it *may* work ;
- for optional parameters, I use the 'old' method.

I've finally got around to updating ConsoleX, but can't figure out whats going wrong with globals...

Code: Select all

Global table$="0123456789abcdef"

Procedure.s Base(string$,base,base2=10)
;table$="0123456789abcdef"
   If base>1 And base<17 And base2>1 And base2<17
      If base=base2
         result$=string$
      Else
         If base>10
            string$=LCase(string$)
         EndIf
         For loop=1 To Len(string$)
            digit=FindString(table$,Mid(string$,loop,1),1)
            If digit
               number.q*base
               number+(digit-1)
            EndIf
         Next
         If base2=10
            result$=StrQ(number)
         Else
            Repeat
               remainder=number%base2
               number=number/base2
               result$=Mid(table$,remainder+1,1)+result$
            Until number=0
         EndIf
      EndIf
   EndIf
   ProcedureReturn result$
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL.s BaseX(string$,base)
   ProcedureReturn Base(string$,base)
EndProcedure

ProcedureDLL.s BaseX2(string$,base,base2)
   ProcedureReturn Base(string$,base,base2)
EndProcedure

If "global table$=..." is inside the Base procedure (as just "table$=...", it works okay... if not (like above) then I get the following POLINK errors when BaseX is used within a program:

POLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol 'X_v_table$'.
POLINK: fatal error: 1 unresolved external(s).

Any ideas?

Hi DoubleDutch,

Thanks for you lib, just a little issue with example5.pb

the line

Code: Select all

mywin = OpenConsoleX(640,480,8,"Terminal",12,"Full Screen ConsoleX")

give me this error :

Ligne 21: Bad parameter type, number expected instead of string

And The DelayX(4000) wait for 40seconds, i changed to 400 for 4 seconds

There is something wrong with the .zip file on the download. It will extract the library and the .chm but winzip fails trying to extrtact the examples.
