Re: PB 6.11 b1 : exe does not display its new shiny icon

I've had a better look at the new icon now, indeed the new one is not at its best, especially the 256 colors.
Thanks for the icon, it looks better.

Re: PB 6.11 b1 : exe does not display its new shiny icon

Just to confirm,
installed in portable mode, the PB icon is correctly displayed here too and whatever the explorer view (Extra Large, Large, medium and small).

Re: PureBasic 6.10 LTS is out !

Hmm, not in my experience. Like I said, my apps get several false positives without UPX, and none with UPX. Good to know, it's been a while since I've used UPX but in my experience, like Marc56us, I almost always had more false positives with UPXed exe's Is it because of the 3 "UPX" texts...

Re: PB 6.10 x64 OpenLibrary

Changed to ".i" and all is working well again. Far out. Coding with 6.10 is so confusing now. :( The confusing thing here is that wrong codes were 'correctly' working with previous version due to memory address fitting into long (.l) on x64. Again see this as an opportunity to finally hav...

Re: EditorGadget Problem with RTF

Yes, your code in the 1st post is not runable, PVDynamic_ColorGadget() procedure is missing! Otherwise, deletes ALL .l (long) declarations variables, it will already be better for SetWindowCallback(@WindowCallback(), Window_2), whitout Invalid Memory Access. And deletes the second SetWindowCallback,...

Re: IceDesign GUI designer

Hi VB6_to_PBx, It works well for enter and escape, not so easy and unusual for PageUp Down on a laptop keyboard. It seems rather specific to me to integrate it, I'm not sure that everyone wants this behavior. For example on a button or on a String with an input check. To change both the tab Order an...

Re: IceDesign GUI designer

Yes, yes, I understand the need for the Tab Order, I've made a note of it in my Todo. I haven't really thought yet about how to do it, how to present it... I'll take a look but I'll let it mature, no rush, slowly, slowly :wink: For now, it's pretty easy to do it with a macro and SetWindowPos() Api, ...

Re: Keep same CurrentDir if run from taskbar

Yes, I realized I got carried away after fryquez's comment, my 2 feet were no longer touching the ground. It's just good to take this into account when using files or resources with relative paths. - Using the full path as AZJIO : CreatePreferences(CurDir$ + "~Test.pref") - Or SetCurrentDi...

Re: Keep same CurrentDir if run from taskbar

I understand about the WorkingDirectory pin shortcut and that it has nothing to do with PB. SetCurrentDirectory(GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())) or other directory does the job. But I'm not sure why MS defines the current directory differently if launched from file explorer, Win+R or from taskbar exp...

Re: WINDOWS issue : How do you include icons into the exe ?

That does not make the icon visible so that you can assign specific icons to specific filetypes. To include icons in your exe icon resource, create a .rc file (ex: Icons\Icon.rc) with notepad and with for example: 1 ICON "Icons/ICON1.ico" 100 ICON "Icons/ICON100.ico" Then in com...

Re: Keep same CurrentDir if run from taskbar

hmm, my workaround example is confusing. I don't ask to define the current directory with the directory from which the application loaded. But to keep the same Current Directory, if it's possible!, when a new instance is started from the taskbar! When started from explorer, Execute (Win+R), Taskmgr ...
