PureBasic Forums - English

Edited the first post (moved the old PB3.x code to 2nd post as well), and updated the sysintenals link as the old did not work any more.

In the meantime this is a nice alternative Debugging DLL's and Beta tester program debugging example!

I was hoping to see PureBasic 5.x to be DPI Aware, and now that PureBasic 5.10 is out,
maybe we can be lucky and see it in 5.20 or 5.30?

Just one feature I wish you guys had added just one more feature. As today I had to add Window_ScaleDPIx() and Window_ScaleDPIy() to every place a window or gadget had a X or Y or W or H value, and with the program in question it had around 56 GUI elements. This mean I had to repeat/write Window_Sca...

The GUID string is made "special" by enclosing it in curly brackets: #FOLDERID_ProgramFilesX86 = "{7C5A40EF-A0FB-4BFC-874A-C0F2E0B9FA8E}" That's a normal PureBasic constant string. You are missing the part where that visual basic example uses the Win32 API function CLSIDFromStri...

Considering that if someone uses notepad or some other editor, the potential is there to change the encoding from one to the other. Especially if the ini file is sent to another user for debugging. Ultimately, the solution is to look at the file's encoding, and decode as appropriate, preferably aut...

Very useful, MSDN info so confusing! Yep! At times it might even seem contradicting. However, not sure that the alternative to FOLDERID_ProgramFiles should be FOLDERID_LocalAppData, two different things there. Actually for system/all users installation FOLDERID_ProgramFiles is correct, and for curr...

*doh* Should have recalled that, seeing as I posted in that thread. :? Still. That was over 2 years ago, I'm not an elephant. :mrgreen: And ProgramReadString() ProgramReadError() working sometimes/sometimes not is an issue. (no easy way to know if the other program is Unicode or not). So if it can't...

This is kind of a bug... To replicate try using Sox for windows, it's output seems to be ascii. ( http://sox.sourceforge.net/ ) If PureBasic is set to create a unicode program then the string returned with ReadProgramString() is cut off. Compiling as Ascii and all is fine. But I assume a Ascii PB pr...

If Windows 2000 has DirectX 7 drivers and hardware then DirectX 9 (9.0c ?) can be installed/can work with it (DX9 need minimum DX7 HW/Drivers, DX8 need minimum DX6 HW/drivers). The following installer might work on Windows 2000 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35 (MS has remov...

Trying to do a ImportC "zlib.lib" fails if trying to import crc32(). AFAIK crc32 is a x64 instruction, so there could be a conflict there. --------------------------- PureBasic - Assembler error --------------------------- PureBasic.asm [xxx]: extrn crc32 error: reserved word used as symbo...

http://www.opus-codec.org/ Would be awesome if PureBasic supported this. I can only imagine that this will be as popular as (WebP for image over time). The Opus codec basically ends the audio codec dispute for HTML5. So that means we will see WebM for video/movies, WebP for image (lossy and lossless...

Well! I actually did think about it and kinda messed around and got something working. (messy code, not that fast, and I'm not really a asm guy, but yeah BSWAP and shifting of bits and flipping nibbles was the key) So I searched around on the net (easier to find things if you know what you are searc...

I could have sworn I posted this once, but I guess I didn't! Odd! Anyway! This code is pretty much the fastest, and although there may be a few faster asm variants out there (they are mostly identical) they give diminishing returns, and they may need certain CPU features. This is definitely one for ...

First you need to get WebP (libwebp.lib) from here https://developers.google.com/speed/webp/ Below is a include for the decoder part only of libwebp.lib, and further below is a example of how to convert from WebP to something that the PureBasic image library can use. This is just a proof of concept,...
