Wow, I seem to be the first PB user poster. Well, let's get the ball rolling...

Are there any plans for the following features in PB for Windows?

1) System tray support
2) Transparent Windows
3) Registry interaction (read/write to the registry)
4) Slider gadgets (this could be in - I'm new to PB and excited
5) Specific INI commands for reading and writing INI files
6) System path detection (such as Windows directory, etc.)
7) Program detection (normally done by checking for the existence of a filetype)

I'm sorry for the long list but I thought it would be interesting to ask.

I used to create apps in Director Lingo - terrible for gadgets but great for OS support. PureBasic is a dream come true for gadgets alone.

In fact, it's worthwhile looking at some of the Director Xtras for the kind of OS interaction they offer.

Many thanks for listening and keep up the great work.

I also seem to be one of the first to posters here also!, Here a list of things I would like to see in PB.


Gadgets with images inside them
Images inside window - the ability to load, edit, save, draw images to windows
Mouse pointer functions (for changing the image used by the mouse)
The ability to be able to get the screen size


I know its possible to call Windows API in order to pull this stuff off, but I would much prefer to see it 'hard coded' into PB.

Hi! I got some suggestions for PureBasic. So far i´ve only used the Win version but i plan to start coding with the Amiga version too;

-Allow resize gadgets on windows

-Events for Resize, Maximize Window and Minimize Window

-An EditBoxGadget (which would allow linefeeds in the input) would be
very welcome

-Also there´s a serious lack of math functions such as ABS, INT, SIN,
COS, etc... which are standard in all BASICs (Unless I´m missing something... the lack of these seems strange)

Definitely need built in math functions starting with
COS,SIN,TAN,ABS,SQRT and the ^ exponentiation operator
Also a TextEditGadget (scrollable,multiline,directly editable)
