Re: Calling "Screen" delays certain input

This sounds like this problem I was having.
I ended up patching that goddamn Peek message call to use NULL.

Re: Help with string pointers and GetPrivateProfileString

Thanks, now I got it !

It doesn't actually require a full path, I was really using ".\my.ini" originally, but I tested and "my.ini" works, too.

Re: Console application not handling the window closing prop

It's just weird that it works properly an all cases on newer OSes and not XP, I would not expect this inconsistency in something like this.

Is there a way to work around it for input ?

Console application not handling the window closing properly

I've noticed some strange behaviour on winXP x32 (sp3) with console applications. Check this out : Function FBMain () As Integer Dim As string CMD, param1, param2, param3, param4 do print "test" sleep(1000) loop return 0 End Function End FBMain() That crashes because hitting the close (X) ...

Re: Screen and console

The main problem is that I want a fixed width (100), so I can print my stuff centered etc. And I also want to keep my command prompt at the bottom of the window. So I'm using width 100,37. But looking at the console window's properties that also sets the screen buffer to these dimensions, so stuff g...

Re: Screen and console

Hmm, just did that and you're right I think. I'm using line input, too. But it doesn't look as cool as it did before, got to fix that hehe. This also renders my nice command parsing code, clipboard handling and keyboard handling useless. But now I can scroll up and down, paste AND copy , go back in ...

Screen and console

I'm using Screen 19, 8, 1, GFX_WINDOWED Or GFX_NO_SWITCH

It's kind of a terminal with a prompt. Is there a way to have a bigger console height and have a slider to go up and down ? Because now when I print lots of stuff the older stuff gets lost.

Re: FB lack serious IDE

I have done the .api file! Now autocompletion works for FreeBasic functions and keywords! There are some keywords that I didn't add to the .api, because of the weired syntax of FB!

Re: Where can I get a Recent-Git-Build of FreeBASIC?

I tried with that latest build to build a x64 dll but I get an executable missing error:
\bin\x86_64-win32\gcc.exe
I guess I need some MingW binary ?

Question about FBGFX and fonts

I've created a sort of commandline/terminal that parses commands and sends data to another process and prints results. I'm using fbgfx in this mode: Screen 19, 8, 1 (I've forced GDI, too) Is fbgfx doing the equivalent of AllocConsole and using the standard Windows functions to print etc ? So is it u...
