PureBasic Forums - English

Hey, nice to know that ".AppleSystemUIFont" or an empty string "" as font name loads the system default font. This question is very often asked here, how to get the name of the system font, for example, to provide some labels with a larger font. Could almost be included in the do...

If you change the font size to 12 or 14, it works. But with 13 the program crashes with this strange error message... the return of LoadFont() is OK in all cases. result = LoadFont(0, "San Francisco", 13) SetGadgetFont(#PB_Default , FontID(0)) Debug result ; seems OK and loaded OpenWindow(...

It seems it is a hard thing to get back to the default (maybe it is impossible to get all information about the default setup?). Even with the fix on beta 8, you can still see differences between the original state and the reset font. -------------------- Other strange thing (or is that how Apple sp...

Hey, nice thought. Maybe I can think of someone in my family...

Does it appear that line height in the ListViewGadget is much larger than in 6.10b7? The example in Help seems to be ok but I'm going to have a lot of editing to get the new size to work and I'd really like the lines not be so tall. In one of my programs in beta 7 I get 70 lines showing and in beta...

:D Is there a way to support the project financially independently of buying a license? I purchased my PB license 21 years ago. I'm starting to feel guilty about having paid for it just this once... PS: Who can do a current interview with the makers of PB? What is the current situation? Who is invol...

Is this only depending on the font? But this line spacing I see seems to small (the line height ends exactly with the tail of the "y"). However, the line spacing is much larger in the default state... if OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 270*2, 140, "ListViewGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #P...

With Mac OS this looks completely different and faulty. The stars are simply white dots and the screen section is also limited to 1/4....

Is the default value = -1? There is no documented...

Thanks. In Beta 6 #PB_Preference_NoBOM for CreatePreferences() is not known by the Debugger (returns an error, missplaced constant), but I hope this is fixed in the final.

Specific OS path separator characters are available #PS, #NPS, #PS$ ('\') and #NPS$ ('/'). That is also wrong, I think (FileSystem, ExamineDirectory(), SetCurrentDirectory()). Should be Specific OS path separator characters are available #PS, #PS$ ('\' for Windows or '/' otherwise). With #NPS, #NPS...

Returns the full path of the current directory. It will end with a directory separator ('\', #PS, #PS$ for Windows or '/', #NPS, #NPS$ otherwise) Wrong. Whatever the system is, the path will always end with #PS$, never with #NPS$! Please remove the mention of #NPS$ here. The directory separator is ...

The GUI of this text adventure tool seems very basic (some buttons and text fields). What purpose does this PureVision library serve here? (I'm just trying to understand, because I can not test as I do not have access to this library)

You have some local paths in your source code. Is that an external module? In the manual I could not find the phrase "PureVision64".... XIncludeFile "D:\Program Files\PureVision64\Modules\Module_PVGadgets.pbi" I wonder why this program has 28 MB (163 pb-files) unzipped source cod...

What is going on in the Mac OS Bug section? Fred has fixed 98 % of all reported bugs!!!
