That doesn't help unfortunately. It also shows the admin name if you run it as admin when logged in as a standard account.

Consider this code when running from a standard non-admin logged-in account called "User": Debug UserName() ; Shows "User" But if I enable admin rights and run it from the "User" account, it shows "Admin" instead. My app needs to work with the user's profile t...

Thanks so much, TassyJim!

I shortened it to this for my needs:

Code: Select all

UseJPEGImageDecoder()
LoadImage(0,"d:\image.jpg")

If StartVectorDrawing(PdfVectorOutput("d:\test.pdf",ImageWidth(0),ImageHeight(0)))
  DrawVectorImage(ImageID(0))
  StopVectorDrawing()
EndIf

With the WebGadget, we can use GetGadgetItemText() with #PB_Web_HtmlCode and #PB_Web_SelectedText, but I'd like to also have #PB_Web_PlainText to just get the plain text from it. Similar to #PB_Web_SelectedText but without needing to make a selection. I currently have a largish workaround, so this r...

Can we use this to convert a loaded image into a PDF document? Would be amazing if so!

BarryG

Glad to hear it!

I'd use PostEvent() from inside the thread then, to simulate the button event.

From what I've always read here, you're not supposed to update gadgets from inside a thread.

That was just a link to someone else's code. No PayPal needed.

Sounds like the perfect marketing opportunity for Fred: praise the benefits of coding in BASIC instead of C/C++, because he can truthfully advertise that BASIC isn't part of the US government's concerns!

Always a silver lining.

I had the "0x80070643" update error the other day and Windows kept saying it'd try again. I did nothing about it (literally; I didn't resize any partition or try to manually update again) and now the error's gone and my PC is updated. Go figure. Win 10 Pro.

I used to turn off cloud-delivered too, but then realized I need to experience what my users are going to experience. No point in me putting my head in the sand and pretending all's well when my users are getting cloud-delivered warnings.

From what I could see, that doesn't provide an easy way to gradually change the volume like MiniAudio seems to, because there's no way to query the current volume :( But it's your app, so you've set the volume and would know the current volume level. Or are you talking about controlling the volume ...

Since it's a sound in your own app, why not use the SoundVolume() command?

BarryG

Why two gadgets? Don't they both do the same thing (display a web page)? When should I be using one instead of the other? So confusing.
