The history says only, that the command to receive a sent networkstring: ReceiveNetWorkString() has been removed, but neither why nor which command to use instead. SendNetWorkString() is still available, but how to receive a sent string now???

Go as far as you can, and realize at last, that you are there again, where you have started your way.

Look at the Client/Server programs that come with the reference manual, there the client sends a string and the server recieves that string..

RecieveNetworkString() has been removed because a possible remote security hole. Just use RecieveNetworkData(....) and PeekS() to emulate this lost function.

OK. Will ReceiveNetWorkString() ever return?

It went up 30% last month :) So now it's 50% :D. And not really soon, there are *many* hacks needed to PB in order to provide a nice usable designer. Take a gander at the Visual Designer source available via CVS. Hacks beyond belief :(.

Until I can set enough time to research and create hacks to PB that allows basic visual designer functionality... well, it's not the highest on my priorities right now.

Shannara: stop talking such bullshit.
If you really believe PB is that bad, why don't just quit and spare us your constant whining??

Is Visual Designer source via cvs.purebasic.com? Or is it at some other location? (Can't find it at cvs.purebasic.com)

Thanks.

anyway, on topic: you could implement the regular winsock stuff, that is supposed to work (sort of :-)) on any os that does berkely sockets, including linux, with the exception of wsaasyncselect_() (for which the built in alternative in berkely sockets never worked for me)

No. The VD sources are private due to the editor sources being exploited.

Freak:

I do not know why you have a problem with me, is it me specifically, people from Alaska, or do you pick random people to attack? If it is none of the above and you are in a bad mood, please try reading my posts before making assumptions. For a visual designer to be possible with basic features, you have to create some hacks. Hacks, as in going out of the language command set for certain tasks, such as using the Windows API......

There have been no "whining" nor "bullshit", only people who love assuming such and then respond based on those assumptions.

Dare2:

As Kale responded. You can find some sources to various visual designers on these forums, and the links provided :)

Blueznl:

Please post your definition of trolling. I have not been trolling in accordance to the common definition.

You can find an old 2001 version @ http://www.purebasic.com/download/PB_Vi ... signer.zip

It's still there at the time I wrote this reply.
