Enumeration Name for #PB_Web_....

Maybe this is a question for Fred:
I want to implement additional features to a WebView2 Gadget.
For that I need additional constants, but I don't want to run into conflicts with already available values.
I tried somenting like:
Code: Select all
Enumeration PB_Web
#WebView2_SystemMenue
EndEnumeration
Of course it does not work, because I don't know if there is an enumeration for all the #PB_Web_ constants
and PB_Web (my guess) does not do what it should.
But I also don't want to use values > 1000, because of unneeded size of PB internal arrays.
Any hint?

Arrays only exist when objects are created. Gadgets, images, etc. Not for constants for events, status, attributes.
For Eventtype there is the constant #PB_EventType_FirstCustomValue (start value 262144).
For flags, this is also not a problem, as WebGadet does not have any.
For Event (WaitWindowEvent) we have to agree somehow. (#PB_Event_FirstCustomValue)
All other constant values are also assigned to Purebasic several times depending on the use and are not always in sequence.

I don't want to add new EventTypes.
I need more constants like:
Code: Select all
#PB_Web_HtmlCode
#PB_Web_PageTitle
#PB_Web_StatusMessage
#PB_Web_SelectedText
I already start a WebView2Gadget based on Justins PBWebView2

Do it like this:
Code: Select all
CompilerIf Defined(PB_Event_CloseWindow, #PB_Constant) = 0
#PB_Event_CloseWindow = 13116
CompilerEndIf
Of course, that one is already defined so nothing will happen but if it is not, you've just defined it. Note the no hashtag for PB_Event_CloseWindow. This approach allows you to define constants which may or may not already be defined - without clashing with anything.

Hi netmaestro,
yes, this avoids trouble with double definions, but ... it solves the problem only by half.
I want to know the first free number which I can use.
I can start with 10000, but then the internal array is also 10000 entries in size.
The optimal case is, if I could extend the #PB_Web... enumeration in some way.
Ok, I can check all #PB_Web... constants and use the next higher value, but that's not safe for next PB versions.

Did you consider #PB_Event_NextCustomValue? I know these aren't events but these are free safe numbers. You can use them for anything.

How do you know that the constants are an array?
See Purebasic SDK Gadget.h and GadgetCommon.h.
For which function do you want the new constants? Get/SetGadgetAttribute?

I can implement new stuff for:
Code: Select all
SetGadgetItemText()
GetGadgetItemText()
SetGadgetAttribute()
I will take look at Gadget.h and GadgetCommon.h

If you want to assign or redirect your own standard functions to the GadgetVT, you must look at how strings are used.
To do this, look at SDK -> VisualC -> SimpleLibray -> StringMultiply.c.
I have worked with this before (2014)
See Get/SetGadgetText Link:
