PureBasic Forums - English

Hello PB folks !

First release of the english section on www.purearea.net is online now.
Also released: v1.5 of the CodeArchive - now with exactly 800 example codes...

Andre,

Thanks for the addition, i see you also provide tutorials.

Could you write a tutorial how to write and use libs.
Libs also focussed on using external dll's.

I heard a lib can be a substitute for callfunction().
But the dll itself is not PureBasic.

Edwin:
What exactly do you want to know?
It's not quite clear what you mean by 'write and use libs'

Do you...
want to write a userlib with PB commands?
want to make a .lib file out of PB code to use it in other languages?
want to import a dll file into PB, so you can call it's functions with an '_' like API commands?

Just tell us, maybe we can help then

Andre: In the tutorials section, the 'InlineASM Course' is a dead link,
because LJ deleted it, when he got mad and left the forum.

Also, this one might be a good little Pointer turorial in english:

2 things:
1) I would like to see how i can build me a lib from scratch like libs shown on this site mentioned above.

2) I heard that a lib also solves the declarations problem.
Currently i make use of callfunction to access a 3th party dll.
Rather would not load the lib myself and use callfunction but as you said, similar as to the winapi calls with an underscore.
(Don't know if the underscore is required though.)

After several days of work it's done:

The largest update in the present history of PureArea.net:
- Code-Archive reached version 1.6 with now 914 example codes
- Online manual in version 3.80+ (newer than PB3.80)
- 3 new Tutorials released
- new and updated User-Libs

Have you looked at the DLL Importer tool included with PB since v3.7?
It`s pretty simple, and can create wrapper libs for 3rd party DLLs.

A new announcement after two website updates:

Added the Projects page - look at the amazing world of PureBasic Dll's, developer-tools, applications & games! Updated also the Links & Tutorials sections.

With the release of a new userlib (APM) the User-Libs page was converted to PHP. The table could now be sorted after name, version, date, author & size by simply clicking on the column header. Big Thanks to Benny for his help!

The Code-Archive in version 1.7 reaches already fantastic 1090 (!!) PureBasic example codes. I would also be happy about many nice entries in the new Guestbook.
