Pinda - Pinda is no diary application

Hereby I might share my very first completed project with you. I know it's rather small and not a big piece of code, but it works and does for what is was made.

Pinda is a "diary alike" application. It saves the text in "flat ascii files", but in a hidden directory and with the current (or in the calendar gadget choosen) date.
It is possible to save, open, delete files and to search for keywords. It comes with complete english help-file and the Source.

Pinda was coded with PureBasic 4.0 Linux Beta 1.

@Geotrail: the source itself is crossplattform. If you create a Folder in C:\Documents and settings\$username\ which is called .pinda and put the "data" directory in it (described in the helpfile), it should work on Windows as well, I think. Only the Toolbar and the gadgets look a bit weired under windows. I was testing it, and it worked, but I did not make any changes to the source (this may be the reason for the strange behavir of the gadgets).

@Andre: Thank you! Good Idea with Purearea - why did I forget about it??
edit: Done! :D

Ok, I didn't know the source was included :|


Anyways, I compiled it and gave it a try.
The toolbar doesn't show here, and the edit area seems to be covering it.

When I move the cursor over the toolbar it partly appears.

Also, resizing is extremly slow and very sluggish.

Thanks for the info man.
Someone told me, that the toolbar with windows is a bit different to handle than on linux. Maybe this is the reason for the strange look. The resizing should be better, if you'll take the Delay() out. Don't know, why I kept it. :shock:

But basically it works? Funny. Real crossplattform, yeah. :wink:

Yeah seems to be doing the job apart from the toolbar. I removed the delay(16), the resize seems abit better but it's still alittle sluggish.

Strange. Here on my Tuxbox it works very good. I'll try to get the Windows version working (with a better toolbar) and share it.

Thank you all for help and advise.
