PureBasic Forums - English

The following let you search for a program window based on window title or class or exe name or all three or a combination of the three. The window handle or class name or exe name or processid can be returned, or all the info (for more advanced users). The comments are a tad sparse, but hopefully t...

My suggestion is this: Turn Tip's and Tricks into just a forum, section/category. Under that make sure there is at least 3 sub forums called something along the lines of: * Tips & Tricks * *** PureBasic 5.20 LTS *** (Tested/works on 5.20 LTS) *** Current *** (The latest Development versions) ***...

If you are using the zlib with the max compression, then you also should add a gzip header to the resulting file. gzip and zlib compressed files are the same (both use deflate and are fully compatible) only difference is that gzip has a 10 byte header. Zip archives also uses deflate compression. So ...

The dev files at un4seen.com for PureBasic is really outdated. The following is just a working include for bass. (bass.pbi) And works with the latest v2.4.10 of BASS (it is used with http://player.gridstream.org/ in case anyone are wondering). Unless somebody else really feel like updating the packa...

That picture is actually a artist rendition. Though that really is the visual quality they are aiming for (and last I saw actual footage/caps it lo0oked pretty close). If only it manages to capture that old Frontier Elite feeling (I played that a lot way back on the Amiga) then this will be a huge h...

Edited the first post. Made a more complete example based on the function ideas at http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?p=419763#p419763 Renamed/changed the function names. If somebody could make a Linux variant, and also make sure the mac one matches this then we'd have a nice cross platfo...

A GetUserLanguage() "should" be possible to implement on all platforms. (and not just Windows) What is the expected result? If the language locale (in this example on Windows) is English then it will return: English If it was Norwegian then it will return: Norwegian ;The following example ...

Awesome! A large project I'm working on here compiles fine with debugger both on and off with Beta4.
Only had to do two minor edits (two constant name changes).

Go Fred!

I was gonna post here but I split this off instead http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =3&t=53840

I think PureBasic would be better served to support: Debug "He said \"hello\" to her" ;Output is: ;He said "hello" to her And Debug "He said\r\n \"hello\" to her" ;Outputs is: ;He said ;"hello" to her Debug "He said\r\n \"hello\&q...

Updated the first post. Thanks michel51. And if you are wondering why I did the delim a little differently, it is to make sure the procedure is fully self contained. And to answer the space vs space "issue". Windows/The OS do restrict access to certain files. Some folders on C are for the ...

This is a procedure to get the size of a folder and all sub-folders, it is non-recursive (in other words it does not need to call itself to handle sub folders). ;Public Domain Procedure.q GetFolderSize(folder$) Protected size.q,NewList folders.s(),directory.i,name$,delim$ If FileSize(folder$)=-2 Com...
