Known Limits PB 3.94 Mac
Is there any 'Known Limits' in PB 3.94 Mac? An Public list or something?
It is some frustating for an 'newbie' trying to write some code that not works. It is an 'limit' in PB or what is wrong in my code?
Yesterday I try to use and change fonts, but I get it not to works. Is this an 'limit' in PB Mac? I also try to use 'RunProgram() ...
If you know any 'limits' please log it here.....

You're right, it should have a list for such limitations. For what i recall, here are some (i will update this list each time a new issue is found):
- Printer, Help, Systray, Joystick, Palette libraries not supported
- WndowOutput(), SetGadgetFont() doesn't work
- All 3D Engine commands

In the manual at the bottom of each page the supported systems should be listed.

If you HAVE Verdana bold then it should work if not there's a bug report forum.

Fonts...On OS X
Yes, the problem is that an 'newbie' working with an 3.x.x release not think on bugs, only what have I doing wrong... So it is easy to be confused when the Help says it should be supported...
(Verdana is standard on OS X)

Text Encoding IDE PB 3.94 Mac
This code is NOT Working in the IDE
Code: Select all
a$ = "Hello! PB 3.94 Mac"
b$ = "Nils Åkesson"
c$ = "Nils Östensson"
d$ = "Östen Persson"
Debug a$
Debug b$
Debug c$
Debug d$
Code: Select all
If CreateFile(0, "./PBTest.pb")
WriteStringN("Per Östensson")
WriteString("Now it's on ")
WriteString("the same line.")
Result: NOT correct display in the MessageRequester!
But the test file is Saved in Text Encoding MacRoman...
The program files Myapp.pb is also Saved in MacRoman Encoding So it looks like the Debugger and the MessageRequester NOT handle MacRoman and want some other Encodings..

IDE BUG
This pictures shown some minor bugs in the ide.
This bugs is created when I resize an window.
Perhaps it could be fixed using 'Live Resize' and the window set to 'Composite'.

I confirm the encoding problem with german special characters like "ä, ö, ü, ß".
I've tested the snippets and I could see, what happened
A list with non supported functions on MAC is great. So programming would be less nerveracking

Acivate Window Event
It looks that the Activate Event NOT fire ....
I can only activate my main window one time, when i open the second window then I can't get the Activate Window event to fire in the windows...
I also have some confusing behaivor, when I have the two windows opened and click on the 'Close Widget' in the main window, the second window is closed!!
Is there some more experienced PB developer that could check the code, and perhaps give some tip, how to get it to work??
Code: Select all
Case #PB_Event_ActivateWindow
Debug "Main Window Activate"
