Topic for bugs, feedback or discussion on Droopy's Lib.
Old thread was too disorganised

hi, thanks for keeping droopy´s lib alive...

a libfunction that never worked correctly :

Code: Select all

test=ChangeDisplaySettings(1024,768,16,70,0)
Select test
  Case #DISP_CHANGE_SUCCESSFUL; The settings change was successful.
    Debug 0
  Case #DISP_CHANGE_RESTART ; The computer must be restarted in order for the graphics mode to work.
    Debug 1
  Case #DISP_CHANGE_BADFLAGS ; An invalid set of flags was passed in.
    Debug -4
  Case #DISP_CHANGE_FAILED ; The display driver failed the specified graphics mode.
    Debug -1
  Case #DISP_CHANGE_BADMODE ; The graphics mode is not supported.
    Debug -2
  Case #DISP_CHANGE_NOTUPDATED ; Windows NT only: Unable to write settings to the registry.
    Debug -3
EndSelect
MessageRequester("Change Display Settings","OK to Restore")

if i run this code it switches to 1024x768, 16bit ,60Hz. seems like it ignores
totaly the choosen Hz frequency...

tested with pb 4.20 and Droopy's Lib 1.31.13 and still don´t work

would be nice if you could fix that function!! thx, chi

Code: Select all

GetFileVersion(File,#GFVI_CompanyName,#True))

Does not seem to work. Error for ,#GFVI_CompanyName, doesn't seem defined.

About those errors in the last version, were they fixed? I mean there were some commands which had some issues with Tailbite.

Keep up the good work.

The help file for the lib, for Odd(Number.l) says that it returns 1 if the number is odd.

Code: Select all

Example from the help file:

x=2
Debug Odd(x)

2 is even but the function returns 1 which according to the help file means its odd which it isn't.

The help file for the lib, for Even(Number.l) says that it returns 1 if the number is even.

Code: Select all

Example from the help file:

x=2
Debug Even(x)

2 is even but the function returns 0 which according to the help file means its not even but 2 is an even number.

Looks like either the help is mixed up or the functions are swapped.

The example in the help file for FlashWindow is wrong:

Code: Select all

It shows this:

hWnd=OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,480,#PB_Window_ScreenCentered, ,"FlashWindow")
FlashWindow(hWnd,500,10)

It should be this:

hWnd=OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,480,,"FlashWindow", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered")
FlashWindow(hWnd,500,10)

which ones?

@SFSxOI: fixed for next version
it seems to have been a lost in translation issue. when i corrected the help file for the PB3.94 1.31 version, I changed based on the function name, when the inverse was the case. Now the functions return 1 based on the function name.

I don't remember which ones but I remember the Printer commands at least. With the source code the problem was solved. It's in the other Droopy's lib thread, I guess.

Ah, I remember now. This is gonna cause an invalid memory access:

Code: Select all

Define.s printer

Repeat
	printer = PrinterEnum()
	Debug printer
Until printer = ""

i´ll get an ima-error with following code from the helpfile...

Code: Select all

UseJPEGImageDecoder() ; Needed with a jpeg logo 
IconId=ExtractIcon_(0,"c:\windows\system32\shell32.dll",130) 
LogoId=LoadImage(0,"Logo.jpg")

SubText+"the Droopy Lib 1.31." 
SubText+"²²Visit PureBasic Homepage (www.PureBasic.com)"

AboutBox(IconId,LogoId,"AboutBox","Example of AboutBox",SubText)

@byo: the error remains due to a tailbite error if i recall correctly. I'm not sure if I will be able to fix it, but I'll have a look at it.

@chi: I will look into it, I get the same error

SFSxOI · Post by **SFSxOI** » Mon Sep 01, 2008 1:23 pm

In regards to byo's post;

Code: Select all

AboutBox(IconId,LogoId,"AboutBox","Example of AboutBox",SubText)

can you change the AboutBox in such a way as IconId and LogoId can be #Null ?

I'll look into it when I get a moment, although I think that it uses the LogoId to calculate the size of the box or something....

For those using 4.30 Beta(s):

grab droopy.pb from <PB4.20 directory>\droopys lib\ (or from the download for PB4.20 or SVN), put it somewhere accessible, then use

Code: Select all

IncludeFile "path\to\droopy.pb"

it should then work as normal

I have decided there is too much work to compile for every beta at this point in time (you might notice there was only 1 release for 4.20 beta

).
This is due to constraints on free time.
