I just started playing with Purebasic and I encounter my first noobie issue;
I have a text gadget that displays the path of the selected file/directory in a tree explorer gadget
Everything works great except the path displayed looks weird because the path separator looks like a W with a line across it.
here is a screenshot.

Any help will be appreciated.

Windows 7 32-bit.

Can you post your code between "

Code: Select all

" marks?

I used the example in the Help file, and it will properly display in the TitleBar:

Code: Select all

InitialPath$ = "C:\"   ; set initial path to display (could also be blank)
Path$ = PathRequester("Please choose your path", InitialPath$)  
If Path$
	MessageRequester("Information on " +Path$, "You have selected following path:"+Chr(10)+Path$, 0)
Else    
	MessageRequester("Information", "The requester was canceled.", 0) 
EndIf

I, too, am on w7-32, so as suggested, maybe you should post your code.

Welcome aboard!

It looks like you are using a Chinese or Japanese font... Change the font to a standard one like Arial, and see if the problem persists. What is the name of the font you are using there?

Yes, it was the font!!!
I had the following:

Code: Select all

LoadFont(0,"Batang",12,#PB_Font_Bold)

I changed it to Arial and it works!!

Thanks guys.
