Hi,
I have some c code that, after compilation into a Dll, can be hooked in a program. What I want is try to translate this c code in PB.
I read now for version PB3.4, no more '_' when creating a DLL, so this creates some possibilities.
The problem I have is that this c code heavily uses pointer and structures referenced by pointers and the names of the functions must exact match. The code also uses recource files .RC. Can somebody give me a hint for translation or maybe someone has info as Ccode = PBcode and how to code resources in PB.

I'am currentily work on a Resource Editor for PureBasic Ver 3.50 hopefully will include resources.
I currentily have PureBasic Procedures for opening the resource DLL, Loading and Displaying Bitmaps to a PureBasic Window.
I plan on this to also have it to build windows and dialogs and write out the code for it.
I'm writing the Procedures now for the Grab Handles to resize windows, dialogs and Gadgets.
So if i can help you out let me know.

At this moment I'm (trying ) to translating some c code to PB. I'm so far that I can place and understand some of the code parts in C (I'm using LCC from Jacob Navia and he has a lot of very good information). A tedious process because I haven't programmed in C for years. A part of the problem is that the C code uses some recources to put a simple dialog box on the screen. A second problem is that I have no clue how to translate some constructions from C to PB. Simple pointers isn't the problem but pointer to functions that returns arrays of pointers to chars is a little bit to much for my simple mind
, I just have to grow in the code.

Hi SoulTaker,
Thanks for your offer to help and I'm curious how you handle this resource stuff.Originally posted by SoulTaker

Check the Link out below its on PureBasic Pointers, I had trouble at first also but the kind people here helped me out alot. I would also post in the fourm topic beginners, the people here are very nice and wonderful.

You need to use the windows resource API Functions to use your resources.
for your Dialog you will need to use one of the windows DialogBox API Functions.

Well if it was'nt for a lot of help from the wonderfull people here I would still be stuck code.
I do have to say Thank yo to all of them.
Right now I'm designing the dragging and grab handles for dragging PureBasic gadets and sizing them. I'm waiting on ver 3.50 for now on the resource stuff cause Fred is going to add resource files to it. I'll be on vacation again on the 9 - 18 in Nov so I'll have lots of time to work on it some more.
Also I'm Desiging my Web Site to help out new commers to PureBasic.

Fred never said he is adding the resource stuff in v3.50.
He changed the compiler v3.50 to use FASM as the assembler
and with FASM it should be little bit easier to add resources
(but thats not 100% sure with the way PureBasic works).
Maybe Fred can take a look at it for 3.50 or 3.60 or ...
but until now he didnt say he will add it to 3.50.
