Semaphores are good for synchronising threads but not good for updating the GUI. I only use semaphores with GUI if the thread also has to wait for input from the GUI.

Use PostEvent if the GUI needs to be changed by the thread.
See examples Mini Thread Control

Since the Gtk.StatusIcon was removed from the GTK system, an alternative had to be found. This is the libappindicator.
It works as an alternative.

Do you have a concrete suggestion, which command descriptions should be changed and how?

As I write programmes for Windows, Linux and macOS, I simply forward the menu event #PB_Menu_Quit as event #PB_Event_CloseWindow. So I only need to react to this event. ;-TOP Procedure UpdateWindow() Protected dx, dy dx = WindowWidth(0) dy = WindowHeight(0) - StatusBarHeight(0) - MenuHeight() ; Resi...

Code: Select all

Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow or EventMenu() = #PB_Menu_Quit

It works if you click on "Quit", but you wanted to catch the ⌘Q shortcut

That is wrong. EventMenu() may only be queried if there is also an event #PB_Event_Menu.

Actually, it's fine the way it was before. I don't see any problem here whether you write "mystruct\a = 2" or "mystruct\a[0] = 2".
Forbidding too much is not good either.

It is always better to take a structure and create it for the entire runtime of the thread with AllocateStructure.

At least, for me, the KillThread is delicate

KillThread is only called if WaitThread was not successful after time

You have programmed yourself a memory leak when rewriting thUDPServer. Client()\text is no longer corrected. In addition, you have removed the Repeat Until, which means that the data in the receive buffer can no longer be separated. There may be several sent data in the receive buffer that need to b...

Oops,
some codes will no longer work.
So please remove this adjustment.
