I often use opening a file in a program associated with .txt, for example, to open a js file in Notepad, but not to execute it. Or any other file that doesn't have any associations, but I know it's a text file.

Already present Macro MsiEnumProducts_(arg1, arg2) and Macro MsiGetProductInfo_(arg1, arg2, arg3, arg4)
Need Macro MsiEnumPatches_(arg1 - 5) and Macro MsiGetPatchInfo_(arg1 - 4) too in msi.imp for Import "msi.lib"

 #PB_OpenGL_GetContext

The setter #PB_OpenGL_SetContext is useful, but there is no getter. The getter is necessary when the user has the freedom to dynamically create and and close windows and their OpenGLgadget()'s. Is there a quick workaround by importing something from a library and skipping the standard GetGadgetAttribute() ? Thanks. (PB v.6.21 on linux Zorin, msi GP72 2QE Leopard Pro)

The same question came when using wegGL / webView: viewtopic.php?p=636229#p636229

It's not an API constant...

Posted: **Thu Jan 22, 2026 2:12 pm**

GetGadgetAttribute(openGLgadgetNum, #PB_OpenGL_SetContext ) only returns 0, not working. How can we get the context number after openGLgadget creation? -in order to store it for later use.

Please open another topic, thanks.

For some reason still not added?
Same

Code: Select all

#PROCESS_QUERY_LIMITED_INFORMATION = $1000

Also please add

Code: Select all

#MOUSEEVENTF_HWHEEL = $01000

Is this topic tracked? Anyone busy using win32 hits these simple things.

It seems like build-in constants had a cutoff date of WIndows XP or something. No effort was made to add newer constants and structures. Should be a public github project I guess with strict and useful doc with translation rules (or even automated)?
