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.

Maybe this helps -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7538006/prevent-windows-shutdown-with-custom-message It says: "If you need to block shutdown you call ShutdownBlockReasonCreate passing the handle to your main window and the reason as a string. This string is what is displayed in the shut...

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...

Yes, "GetPathPart(ProgramFilename())" is the ONLY way you should get your app's folder. Not GetCurrentDirectory() because that's changable.

Here's a famous comedy skit from an Australian TV show where he mentions Hawaiian pizza -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJtNHs4BfYg

It's not a skit about pizzas, but it's well worth spending the 4 minutes to watch this; it's gold! Especially the bit about folding up.

I fail to understand why MS defines the current directory with the application path, when calling from File explorer but defines it with %windir%\System32, if launched from taskbar explorer. See here (I think it explains it?) -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18727692/what-is-the-difference-be...

Don't see how this is related to Purebasic. It's not. GetCurrentDirectory() is a wrapper to the API command GetCurrentDirectory_() on Windows, so it shouldn't be changed. What ChrisR needs to do to fix his problem, is use AZJIO's solution and not change an existing command, which frankly would brea...

Just so you know... GetCurrentDirectory() is NOT used to know where your exe is run from. It's used as a WORKING directory, which is why SetCurrentDirectory() can change it. So, no, I wouldn't want this command to be changed from its correct behavior.

What is the recommendet value for "Item" in SetGadgetItemAttribute()? Is it #PB_Ignore, #PB_Any or what? "Item" seems to have no relevance. The manual says: "The 'Item' parameter is ignored" , so it can be literally anything. I personally use #PB_Ignore so I remember i...
