I thought that I could still get in a request, even with one arm :) (No jokes from the peanutes gallery)

WishList

1. The ability to directly reference an element in a linked list instead of having to loop through every element to get to the one you want.

2. Be able to reopen a Treegadget node at any point to add more data to it, rather than having to redraw the whole tree each time.

3. And my pet request!! CAB file compression and decompression library support.

Sorry Fred, I don't understand the VB or C cab code or i'd do it myself. I'd rather have it as a compile-in library instead of a DLL so that's one less file for my users to lose (very evil grin).

Now I can have breakfast

Point 3 :
I don't think that 'Cab'-support is one of the most wanted functions .
If you want Compression, there is the pack/unpack.
If you want make a File with more than one compressedFile, i send you my source (or the only needed parts) for xTract.
If you want to use zip, there are several dlls in the net (with VB examples)
Fred should do more importent things like Point 1 and several others.
You can do it (the cab-stuff) with external stuff(exe or DLL) yet, or code your own(i know it is difficult,but study microsoft stuff is a must if you wanna indeep).
Sorry fangles.That is my Opinion.

Its a long way to the top if you wanna .....CodeGuru

I will try to add 1) and 2) for v3.0. What name should we use to go to the x element of a linked list ?

Possible choice:

ElementAt(LinkedList(), Position)
ElementPosition(LinkedList(), Positon)

Any other suggestions ?

Here's one suggestion:

SelectElement(LinkedList(),position)

Yes, that is your opinion, not mine. I very much need the cabinet functions whether you or others do not. And what Fred should or should not be doing is for him to decide.

I doubt if I ever will understand the cab stuff so I shall continue to ask until someone cleverer that me works it out and I shall keep coding on things I do understand because my wife says it keeps me out of trouble!!

Hi Fred, Pupil's SelectElement idea is closer to the existing linked list keywords in syntax.

Thank you very much for considering the idea.

Yes, SelectElement() is definitely the right word for doing it. Thanks for your proposal !

Go for it Fred,
than I can throw away my automatic array increaser procedure - it works very fine though and it is very fast (thanks to PureBasic) - but sometimes I'm really scared, because it works without any problems ...and I don't know why


Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.
