Documentation for QuickRef Api

Post by michaeled314 »

It seems like almost all of the API is undocumented to purebasic. If I could I have some more documentation for API I would not have to look in the Microsoft Dev Network, which is painfully tedious. :idea: 8)

There's no way the PureBasic team can produce and maintain documentation for an SDK of that size. However, if you download the Windows 2003 SP1 sdk here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta ... laylang=en

you can burn it to a disc and install it to your harddrive. Then, whenever you're in the PB IDE you can place the cursor on an API command, say something like SetTimer_( , and it will pull the relevant page right up off your local disk. It's excellent documentation, quite complete and easy to navigate.

or you download this:

and put the file into your 'help' folder. Then when you hit f1 over an api command you get the relevant page.
