I'd use PostEvent() from inside the thread then, to simulate the button event.

From what I've always read here, you're not supposed to update gadgets from inside a thread.

Re: The US government asks not to use C/C++ due to memory vulnerabilities.

Sounds like the perfect marketing opportunity for Fred: praise the benefits of coding in BASIC instead of C/C++, because he can truthfully advertise that BASIC isn't part of the US government's concerns! :lol: Always a silver lining.

Re: Risks and Benefits

I had the "0x80070643" update error the other day and Windows kept saying it'd try again. I did nothing about it (literally; I didn't resize any partition or try to manually update again) and now the error's gone and my PC is updated. Go figure. Win 10 Pro.

Re: Installing 6.10 betas always complains about McAfee running

I used to turn off cloud-delivered too, but then realized I need to experience what my users are going to experience. No point in me putting my head in the sand and pretending all's well when my users are getting cloud-delivered warnings.

Re: Fading a sound's volume using MiniAudio

From what I could see, that doesn't provide an easy way to gradually change the volume like MiniAudio seems to, because there's no way to query the current volume :( But it's your app, so you've set the volume and would know the current volume level. Or are you talking about controlling the volume ...

Since it's a sound in your own app, why not use the SoundVolume() command?

WebGadget vs WebViewGadget

Why two gadgets? Don't they both do the same thing (display a web page)? When should I be using one instead of the other? So confusing.

Re: [Done] Icon in tray disappears after restart of the explorer

I still have to register the message for callback use because my app does more than just restore the icons when Explorer dies: it has to reset some other internal things to do with those icons as well. So now I'm using Beta 8 and letting it re-add the icons to the tray, but still use a callback to d...

Re: [Done] Icon in tray disappears after restart of the explorer

Not as a standalone snippet, no. Don't worry about it for now, I'll do some heavy testing to make sure it all works. You have to remember that it's not just about restoring the icons; my code runs a procedure (shown above) for all tray icons when "explorer.exe" dies, so I still have to use...

Re: Delete PureBasic_Compilation0.exe after Run from the Temp file.

Sounds like you're not re-compiling after commenting the lines, and just running the last compiled version.

Re: [Done] Strange characters in shared code

It was in the body of an email (Gmail). Not an attachment. I just copied the email text, pasted it into the IDE, and tried to compile it. Syntax error. So yeah, probably Gmail broke it. Here's how it looks in Gmail, and how I copied it. You'd assume you could just paste that into the IDE and run it,...
