This is something that I was working on, a few years age. This might work for you, for creating buttons. Hope this helps. ' fbtermg.bas ' ' October 23, 2017 ' #include "fbgfx.bi" #if __FB_LANG__ = "fb" Using fb #endif Dim e As EVENT Dim Shared As String Key,title,titlecon,titledi...

Re: multitasking tui.bas

I was looking into the tui.bas code, interesting code, but I am not sure as to how you could make one of the created windows functional. Meaning, once you create the window how do you program some usage. Another thing that I noticed is once you do win.show(), you need to have a sleep command to keep...

multitasking tui.bas

It has been while since I have done anything with fbc. I recently installed freedos on an old gateway laptop, and got interested in possibly putting together a program that would make tui.bas a multitasking environment. The question I guess is, has somebody already done this? If it is possible, and ...

Re: MyTerminal threads prog

It has been awhile since I worked with freebasic. I looked at this thread and decided to create, sort of a template for working with threading that has a rudimentary UI. I am working/testing this program on Raspberry Pi, the code should be easily transferrable to other OSs, with a few modifications....

Re: FreeDOS 21st century?

I am looking at the Night kernel from a freeBasic perspective, how it will run and cooperate with the new kernel. I take it that you will have to use the freeBasic DOS version? Will that version be able to use all the new features of the Night kernel? Will freeBasic be able to create a new command.c...

Re: FreeDOS 21st century?

Not many people would use it... because a small linux kernel, with dosemu installed... Now the question is, how many people are using dosemu? And, I do not think that dosemu is 32 bit, in terms of running 32 bit DOS programs. Yea, I know, how many 32 bit DOS programs are out there. I am thinking ma...

Re: FreeDOS 21st century?

Just a quick update, Night kernel is moving at snails pace, at least there is still some movement. This is not a criticism, just an observation. It is being done by some programmers, in their spare time, and for free. Also it is open source. Once it does become available, I am curious, how many peop...

Re: MyTerminal prog

Thanks SARG.
Geany compiler command:

Code: Select all

C:\fbc\fbc -w all -s gui "%f"
this did the trick. Something must of changed in Geany.

Has anybody narrowed it down to what particular thread the Chinese guests are looking at, or is it just this site in general.

Re: FreeBasic communication with Arduino logic error?

WOW! This turning out to be one great tutorial on serial programming. I have been using PySerial for all of my serial comm programs, but I think that I will start at the beginning of this thread, and start giving the code examples a better look. Now , if you were to squeeze in some examples of how t...

Re: FreeDOS 21st century?

I am still following the progress of the Knight kernel. It seems like there still seems to be some progress going on with the project. On my Linux box, I set up a "play along" section where I have the Knight kernel source and the NASM compiler, and I do an occasional compile to see how it ...

Re: FreeDOS 21st century?

Not sure if anybody is following the Night Kernel development, but, the latest information, is they have implemented some working multitasking code. I did not notice what the status of the 32 bit environment is. I am glad to see that they do have some code development going on at a somewhat consiste...

Re: UEFI FreeBasic programming

In that way, it would be possible to run a Freebasic software with no operating system at all, since the application itself would be a very specialized operating system (it's called unikernel) Hmm, very interesting, you could boot up a computer, and get into a FreeBasic environment? I guess FreeBas...

FreeDOS flashdrive experiment

Back, in the beginning of time, you basically had a PC unit which consisted of a CRT, the PC, and keyboard. The PC had one floppy drive, in most cases. After you installed MS-DOS, you could put in a blank floppy, do 'format A: /S', and you would have a bootable floppy disk. Now, you could take that ...
