Debug #PB_Button_Toggle ; return 4099 not 4096
Debug #PB_ComboBox_Editable ; return 66 not 64
Why should they have only one set bit? Probably these constants are itself combinations of multiple OS specific constants.mestnyi wrote: Mon Nov 04, 2024 9:20 pm Aren't these bit constants?Code: Select all

Can you add some? Thanks.

Something like this would be absolutely amazing, for the first three years of me using PB I had to go check what the return value was for missing file vs directory every time I wanted to use this functionAxolotl wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2024 3:32 pm Yes, I would support that.
BTW: I use this for a (very) long time now!? Just a cautious suggestion.Code: Select all

I agree with you, but I'm working on a GUI to replace the standard one for all three axes, and it was almost ready until my hard drive burned down, I had to rewrite it again, so I'm directly connected with both hands.Fred wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2024 10:41 am BarryG is right, you should never rely on the constant value as it can change anytime between releases.
into my soul, but the graphical interface kills with its limitations.You can use Macros:Quin wrote: Tue Nov 05, 2024 4:52 pm Something like this would be absolutely amazing, for the first three years of me using PB I had to go check what the return value was for missing file vs directory every time I wanted to use this function
