EXE compressors also sometimes have the opposite effect on anti-virus software: they become suspect. Hmm, not in my experience. Like I said, my apps get several false positives without UPX, and none with UPX. But I also manually replace the 3 x "UPX" text bytes from the file header of the...

@STARGÅTE: Thanks for showing that. I should switch my Delays() to Semaphores() then for my threads? But, can I just use the one semaphore for all my different threads, or does each thread need its own dedicated semaphore? What I mean is, is doing it like this safe? It appears to be. ; Enable thread...

Say what? Yes, it does. I have dozens of read-only files included in my source. Have used them for years.

In both cases the information is passed just as a reference to the thread, and not as a variable or copy. That's why my example has "text$=PeekS(params)" as the first line of the thread: to create a local copy of the params so they're not lost. Sometimes you'll need a small delay after cr...

A simpler alternative if speed isn't an issue: ; Enable thread safety in Compiler Options! Procedure MyThread(params) text$=PeekS(params) n=CountString(text$,",")+1 For i=1 To n p$=StringField(text$,i,",") If p$ Debug p$ EndIf Next EndProcedure text$="1,2,3,4,5" ; Five ...

What type of events? But yes, you can detect mouse clicks, and if it's visible, etc. Not as "events" but you can manually poll for them.

With UPX it's no problem because it's so well-known that every AV just decompresses the exe before scanning.

It'd more likely be the website's server setup, otherwise every website wouldn't work with ReceiveHTTP...(). Some websites compress their data which can make it return "gibberish". I've posted about this before.

No, others have reported it. It's the price of progress. Personally I like the 6.10 improvements (Date lib for years up to 9999 for one); and I use UPX to shrink my exe from 10 MB to 4 MB (which also has the benefit of reducing VirusTotal false positives).

Confirmed here: 150ms with no blank lines above the procedure, and 220ms when there is. :shock: When DisableDebugger is used, both are 25ms. Never seen how the source code itself can affect the runtime of a compiled exe. Although... I have had PureBasic's IDE not open until I quit a running exe that...

Thanks guys, I'll do some testing to see which suits best.

Hi guys. I'm testing my app on Win 11 and of course it's thrown me a curve ball because Win 11 has stupid curved window corners now. :( So, my app draws a nice line across the top of any given third-party window, which now looks stupid because the start and end of the line is not above anything anym...
