[Implemented] Constants for network events

Trond · Post by **Trond** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 2:34 pm

It would be nicer if the network events 0, 2 and 3 had constants so you didn't have to remember them. It would make sense since everything else in PB has constants.

Yes, concur. For everything where it applies.

DrawingMode() - do for them, too.

Yeah, but I just wanted to mention it again here, because this topic is similar

Yes I know, and I'm quite thankful for that too

Another constant suggestion: #PB_Window_Standard would equal #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget

or something, so that you didn't have to type everything everytime. It would of course also be nice if constants could be removed from the chain, for example if you could remove #PB_Window_ScreenCentered and add #PB_Window_WindowCentered (this may already be possible for all I know).

Good tip, however it will create a bit of a mess if everyone had their own constants I think...

True; I didn't consider what would happen if someone posted some code here
that made use of their own custom "Residents" file. But if they're not posting
their code, then it's totally fine. Good pick-up, though!

If this will really happen, Fred could add the long forgotten Client Event 4.

This request is from 22 Apr 2003 and someone called "AlphaSND" said something like "I will add this. Thanks for the suggestions !"

and ClientIP().

Yes, you can using the xor binary operator:

Code: Select all

#PB_Window_Standard = #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget

OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640, 480, #PB_Window_Standard & ~#PB_Window_SizeGadget, "Test")

Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
