The last post there is for using an API call to trick the AV software, which is what I asked for in the first post of this thread, ie. how to call LoadImage as API instead of the regular command. I don't know how to do it, as I'm not an expert, despite what people may think.

Usually the detection definitions are updated automatically I just re-uploaded my exe to VirusTotal again, with UseJPEGImageDecoder + LoadImage inside, and this time it only reports 2 false positives instead of 9! :shock: WTF? I think what you said above is right. But Avast still complains about a ...

Got a problem... when I have UseJPEGImageDecoder and LoadImage TOGETHER in my app, Avast throws out a false positive virus alert, and if I submit my exe to VirusTotal, it shows 9 false positives from various virus scanners, too. However, if I remove UseJPEGImageDecoder, the false alert goes away, an...

If you want to check if a key is down, you have to use GetAsyncKeyState_(#VK_F1) & $8000, not just GetAsyncKeyState_(#VK_F1) alone. The $8000 is needed.

Oops!

A procedure or macro that wraps RenameFile() simply doesn't work:

It would be better just to have a new command called RenameDirectory() that works.

Use the keyword folder , instead of directory What the? We have CreateDirectory, CopyDirectory, DeleteDirectory... but not RenameDirectory. :shock: So searching for "directory" is therefore a totally logical thing to do, as opposed to searching for "folder". :mrgreen: Thanks for...

I can't believe this command doesn't exist after all these years!

And how do we do it in the meantime? A search for "rename directory" comes up with 0 relevant results.

Don't worry; I didn't take it that way. Relax. But the topic is portability, so I was just pointing out that a shortcut won't allow that.

Shortcuts are not portable. I can take my PureBasic folder (on SD card) to any PC and run it portably. A shortcut is tied to the PC on which it's created.

That's how PureBasic used to work. It got changed many versions ago. I just created my own exe instead which launches PureBasic.exe with the /PORTABLE switch, and I run that exe instead of PureBasic.exe to always open the app portably.

Is there a way I can tell if a PopupMenu() is currently open (being displayed)? My program closes its main window when Escape is pressed, but if a PopupMenu() is open, then Escape closes it AND my program in one go. So I just want Escape to close the menu only if it's open, and not the main window. ...

Hello, one of my programs that I've compiled as an exe is not running on a friend's PC. It was built on my Windows 7 PC (64-bit) with PureBasic v5.31 (the 32-bit version). It's got Unicode enabled but nothing is ticked for Request Administrator or Request User mode. The exe runs fine for me on my ma...

Doesn't make it wider here. All 3 requesters in your code sample are the same width.
