DestroyTrackWindow() in UserGuide code. Pointer type mismatch?

[Webarion]

In the code:

Code: Select all

  Procedure.i DestroyTrackWindow(Window.i)
    ; Remove Window from the ActiveWindows map, release the allocated memory,
    ; close the window and set the quit flag, if appropriate.
    Shared EventQuit, ActiveWindows()
    Protected *ThisData.DATEWINDOW <---
    ...

Perhaps this should be: .TRACKWINDOW

You're wrong with your question here.

Source of the code not specified and (after searching for it) the code not copied correctly and completely with structures.

No Bug

Yes, this is a question about the code in the documentation:
https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... _any2.html
I understand that TRACKWINDOW and DATEWINDOW are the same size and this will not cause an error, however I believe it is logically incorrect when creating a TRACKWINDOW in CreateTrackWindow() to free the DATEWINDOW in DestroyTrackWindow(Window.i). This creates confusion, which is why I didn't realize it at first when translating and analyzing it. The question is closed.

Yes, you are correct, it should be TRACKWINDOW. It's a "copy/paste/fail to update" error on my part.

It does prove that it's extremely difficult to proofread your own work fully!

Proposed fix in PR#349.
