Re: Sourceforge vs. GetHub Hosting

I am looking for a way to work on a project. And allow others to kibitz. Share the code without having to remember to update the zip file to upload to "MediaFire" (which is how I am currently doing it). From what I understand, GitHub has a more Unix style user base. Using command line. Usi...

Sourceforge vs. GetHub Hosting

I have not used any sort of code hosting service.
Just upload a 'zip' file to a general host and let people download.

From a developer's standpoint:
1. What are the pros / cons of each?
2. Which is easier to use for Window's user?

Re: Converting

What type of variables (string/double/single)? In and out?
Do you want to round the result?

Code: Select all

FileCopy("File2Copy.bin", "FileWithThisName.bin")

Re: Numeric Entry in an EditBox

Just an idea or challenge.
Allow for "single precision" numbers.
Such as 6.02e-23

Re: Winapi declarations in FB are done like in VB?

The "A" stands for ASCII.
If you look at some of the .bi files there are 2 definitions.
GetClipboardDataA and GetClipboardDataW. (Which stands for "Wide String")

Re: How to speed up compilation?

You don't need to include all of windows.bi. For most basics only including the following two headers will be enough: #include once "win/windef.bi" #include once "win/winbase.bi" If you get any errors about missing declarations search the Windows headers to figure out which addi...

Re: My simple array no more redim, ubound, lbound ...

Very nice! Thank you!

At first glance, have not tried it yet, there seems to be no way to clear the array.
As in a simple string list, ie a file list.
