You can change the value in WaitForResponse if needed. -1 is infinite time-out.

It works correctly using the WinFBE editor and the files that come with it. I don't know how you have compilet it.

If I may, an example using my WinFBX framework: '#CONSOLE ON #include once "Afx/CWinHttpRequest.inc" using Afx ' // Create an instance of the CWinHttp class DIM pWHttp AS CWinHttpRequest ' // Open an HTTP connection to an HTTP resource pWHttp.Open "GET", "http://forum.qbasic...

These API functions that deal with variants do a lot of work. For example, this is the C++ code for VarSub as implemented in ReactOS: HRESULT WINAPI VarSub ( LPVARIANT left, LPVARIANT right, LPVARIANT result ) { HRESULT hres = S_OK; VARTYPE resvt = VT_EMPTY; VARTYPE leftvt,rightvt; VARTYPE rightExtr...

It is ignored since "1" is not a number, but a string. Ok but how to explain that in the variation by srvaldez : v1 = v1 - "1" gives the right value ? Because in the operator - , I call the API function VarSub without checking the type of the passed variants ' ==================...

> Shouldn't it throw an error instead of ignoring the "1"? How? It is an operator, not a function that can return a value. Anyway, I have found the problem: the constructor CONSTRUCTOR CVar (BYVAL _value AS DOUBLE) conflicts with the constructor CONSTRUCTOR CVar (BYVAL _value AS DOUBLE, BY...

> Unless I don't understand but v1 -="1" also doesn't work as the value of v1 is still 2. Shouldn't it be 1 ?

It is ignored since "1" is not a number, but a string.

For some reason unknown to me, when passing a float value to a CVAR constructor, the compiler complains about an ambiguous call error, and when using v1 += 1.2345 it doesn't call the += operator, but does a cast to a WSTRING!

This works: v1 += CVAR(1.2345, "DOUBLE")

I use WinFBE and it compiles using
#Include "win\commctrl.bi" ' for CreateStatusWindow
and it does not compile using
#Include "inc\win\commctrl.bi" ' for CreateStatusWindow

So maybe your setup is wrong.

We have been reminded that we are off topic, so if you want to continue the disussion please open a new topic in the Windows section. Maybe we can find an acceptable solution.

First you complain about... Btw, FB requires some acrobatics for simple tasks like: Code: Select all Dim As String hw="Hello World" SendMessage(hEdit, WM_SETTEXT, 0, @hw[0]) Same in Assembly: Code: Select all SetGlobals hEdit:HANDLE, hw$="Hello World" invoke SendMessage, hEdit, W...

(and the FB manual has never heard of ListBox_AddString) And also of the many other thousands of the Windows API functions. Btw in Assembly I can write invoke SendMessageW, hList, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, Utf16$(someAnsi$) And in FreeBasic I can do SendMessageW hListBox, LB_ADDSTRING, 0, *CWSTR(someAnsi) I...
