Great alternatives, AZJIO & breeze4me. The suggested approach was just that; a suggestion. But it does have the advantage of being cross-platform.

...I would still recommend the use of DisableWindow() on the main window. With that the main window is not reacting on user actions and the clock is still running... Hi Axolotl. Great suggestion; thank you. I'm sure that it would be a welcome addition to the feature, provided AZJIO finds the multi-...

At least the last part of that statement is true.

exceeds the size of my feet????

You must have mighty small feet.

PureBasic SQLite Database: A Quick Tutorial

Perhaps, just use a separate window to emulate a message box. In this example, the message box window stays on top until dismissed, but the running clock in the main window demonstrates that it does not block the event loop: Enumeration windows #mainWindow #messageBox EndEnumeration Enumeration gadg...

In the event loop:

It has proven to be a powerful programming tool, and a great foundational gateway to other languages as well.

...what the point of a 'Named enumeration' is exactly?

...if you created a PureBasic object with #PB_Any you probably should free it with the respective Free procedure. The following syntax creates an image object dynamically and assigns the identifier to the variable named image. The dynamically assigned identifier corresponds with the memory address ...

The conclusion is that dynamic objects should be freed when they are no longer needed. Most of the time this will be through the use of a specific command for that purpose from the same library the create object command was in. Sometimes it will be the by product of another event such as closing a ...

Purebasic has no garbage collection. Thanks for the examples; although I'd thought that orphaned objects would eventually be released. So, it might appear that the third line of @freak's post is simply a general GC-description, and not referring to PureBasic specifically. Nevertheless, dereferencin...

If you would be willing to throw a little more light on the subject or be able to direct me to a source to learn more about this aspect of things in PureBasic I would be most appreciative. Your guess is as good as mine, but from this post , I had always assumed that PureBasic maintains some version...

@TI-994A: What do you mean by 'that will eventually release the previous object? Your code sample looses track of the object that was created and the program would have to end before that object would ever be released. Am I missing something? Not exactly. Once there are no more references to a crea...
