Nice looking black hole effect. :) If you keep expanding this idea, how about taking advantage of threads? Let Main handle the display. Meanwhile Thread1 can calculate orbital position vectors for stars in a cluster. At the same time, Thread2 could add an inward spiral componet for each star toward ...

Is 5.11 code like this is no longer allowed in 5.12? If so, then +1. A safe alternative might be to limit results to space available within structures. Structure MyStruct Array MyArray.s(100) EndStructure Define MS.MyStruct subject.s = " addonaddedaddition add readd added addadd " pattern....

Thanks. That looks like a good way to insert a bit of procedure exit code.

True, the macro only works if he is compiling all of the code. Then the unique labels can double as CallerID.

Instead of an Inline Function, how about a Macro? Macro MyTest Debug MacroExpandedCount x = ?MyLabel#MacroExpandedCount MyLabel#MacroExpandedCount: EndMacro MyTest Debug x ; address beyond last macro instruction for 1st use MyTest Debug x ; address beyond last macro instruction for 2nd use MyTest De...

The Devil is in the details. Watch out for leading zeros with "If Str(Val(in_string.s)) = in_string.s"

Here is another POKE-like option.

Which version of PB and Reference Manual are you using? The issue may no longer exist in 5.11.

It works great with Win7/64 5.11 (PB x86 only).

It may not be exactly what you had in mind but I use the PB DATE() frequently with a PB structure just like time.SYSTEMTIME. The additional parts list makes it work directly with lots of things. Structure PBSystemTime wYear.w : wMonth.w; wDayOfWeek.w : mDay.w; mDay is Day of Month wHour.w : wMinute....

@wmorton 1) File 0,1 are opened with the same filename. 2) Case #yes,#no both write to file 0. Debug changes? 3) Windows events are frequent and asynchronous so there is no waiting for your buttons. To avoid problems and process all events, you should have a separate event loop without long delays. ...

After what Fred says about dropping Firefox support, you should probably use Firefox in its own window anyway and just work with form fields from a separate PB EditorGadget.
iMacros can both read and write CSV files so that would make an easy data interface with a PB App. Good luck.

Well if you are talking about filling a known form, you could display display/edit fields in your gadget and then send the info through Firefox in the form of a macro. 1) Install the iMacro tool in Firefox and MacroRecord while filling out a form 2) Edit selected fields with your Gadget 3) Run Firef...

Interesting article. Thanks. I have always wondered why wrong password entry was so often followed by a simple "Try Again".
Failure should be the trigger to introduce slow methods such as a CAPTCHA code before the next guess.

@jmcbride Aside from ANSI terminal type graphics, I can not tell what you want PB to do that it does not already do. For example, "be able to place the cursor anywhere on the screen with simple PRINT@ or LOCATE@ statements" is as easy as ConsoleLocate(StartChar , LineNum) : Print(" So...
