Re: how to send a message to the windows notification center?

Is there no winapi command to trigger a windows notification? I don't want to enable scripting or use powershell. There has to be a better way of doing this?

Re: Object Theme Library (for Dark or Light Theme)

Very nice! I would like to ask if you could put as much of your code as possible into a module for better code separation?

Re: how do you store file bigger 100MB with IncludeBinary ?

Same problem here seems like it is a limitation with the linker.

Parameters of procedures not showing in statusbar

For some reason it does not show parameters in the statusbar for certain procedures. For example here for Test() when clicking inside the () it shows the parameters and when i click inside MyResize() it shows nothing in the statusbar and so on. Declare.i MyResize(Image.i, Width.i) Declare.i Test(Ima...

how to control mpc-hc via api?

Hi, i read that mpc-hc supports api commands via #WM_COPYDATA and i came across this post from 2008 with an example for autoit script. I just don't know how to translate this and make it work for PB. The post is also pretty old and i am not sure where to find the latest documentation on it. If anyon...

PB 6.03 beta 3 #SCI_SETLEXER constant missing

#SCI_SETLEXER is missing in the beta build.
I added it back manually and all seems to be working as expected.

Re: Replace Text in IDE as IDE Tool

ScintillaSendMessage() works only when the gadget is your own not when you want to access an external gadget in another process like the one from the IDE. I gave you the names of the constants. The rest you can do yourself. But you better look at the functions in my source code to understand how to...

Re: Replace Text in IDE as IDE Tool

Try turning utf8Buffer into a pointer so it's not signed. (Prefix with an asterisk.) If that's not it, you might want to simplify by using the simplified utf8 conversion. https://www.purebasic.com/documentation/string/utf8.html i tried both of your suggestions but it makes the IDE still crash. :(

Replace Text in IDE as IDE Tool

Hello i am looking for a better way to replace text at a specific position in the IDE. #SCI_REPLACETARGET should be the proper way to do it but often it inserts garbage or the IDE crashes. As a workaround i delete the text first with #SCI_DELETERANGE and then use #SCI_GOTOPOS to set the caret at the...

Re: Read all characters of a keyboard

Just be aware that using a keyboard hook will get your app flagged as malware by anti-virus apps. Happens to me all the time. Here's what VirusTotal says about my main app, and why my app is "dangerous": https://i.imgur.com/Hm7pUXG.png Yes that's a general problem these days with most av ...
