Happy New Year 2024 to all

Updated: Date library for full 64bit support (new range is year 1601 to 30827) ... I hadn't the time to test PB 6.10 yet, but what I don't understand is the purpose of the new date range.... I would have expected that a greater supported range of around 29,000 years will go from history (let's say ...

Merry Christmas to all from me too

Thanks LittleJohn and mk-soft for your modules, I have both stored for later usage :-) Because of my needs (switching between data values and strings, get/set the date in a CalenderGadget, be compatible with Windows and MacOS) I've now used the DateTime module (mk-soft) and could easily switch from ...

This Date module is great, but it doesn't compile with the C backend because it uses ASM. Is there an alternative Date module that doesn't use ASM so I can compile my app with the C backend? Thanks! I just stumbled across the same problem. Because of the used ASM in this module I can't compile my w...

Thanks for confirmation, I've done a bug-report here: viewtopic.php?t=82778

I used this module in my project. It compiled fine... After a long break I tried it again with PB 6.03 LTS (Win x64, ASM) and the use of the module via XIncludeFile causes an error now. And I can't understand this error.... :-/ Just try: 1) If you compile the NamedPipeModule.pbi standalone it compil...

Looks good, thank you

Thank you for your suggestions, AZJIO. Good points :-) All about the Help index / tree (made by the DocMaker tool) or removing / changing e.g. the Sort library and moving the commands to the List or Array commands is something for Fred. For now I always tried to add as many as possible useful links ...

Added the examples for following commands:
- ChangeSysTrayIcon
- AddSysTrayIcon
- AddKeyboardShortcut

All with additional comments and all in a bit adapted / simplified form, e.g. for ChangeSysTrayIcon I've used a randomly sized red dot on the yellow background.

Again thanks a lot, AZJIO

I agree it's a bit weird to have a different sort library topics, it should be dispatched into Array and List IMHO Maybe true.... But at least in the 'Overview' of the library documentation it's clearly written which additional commands can be useful (including links to them). For example in the 'L...

Examples added to Packer library docs:
- UncompressPackFile
- AddPackFile

Both in a slightly modified and commented form. Thanks, AZJIO!

Fixed for english + german locale files (for now).

Examples added for: - WritePreferenceInteger - WritePreferenceString Both in a bit adapted form + together with notes/links from other Preference commands. Example adapted for: - ExaminePreferenceKeys (from MessageRequester to Debug, as 4x the requester is really a bit much) (example for ExaminePref...

The help still does not mention the parameters "--listfunctions" etc.

True. This and the other comments is something Fred must look at....
