Stupid, but happy. Enviable! <grin>

I most definitely do not agree with the assertion of freeBasic to be "toothless"! Back to the topic: In my personal opinion the signup date and the number of posts provides enough information to get an idea of a member's skills. In addition to that I dare to say that all active menmbers he...

If you're interested, this bipipe.bi contains all functions you need to open a child window as an own process and communicate via a bi-directional pipe (alas, Windows only)

My compliments. Thank you, but it's not so amazing, I wrote the first version in the 90es for the QBasic interpreter, so it had more than 2 decades to grow. <smile> Its real strength is the capability of running a plugin. So you can get a string e.g. from a database that is treated the same way as ...

Eagerly. Start the snippet, modify the preset sentence like in a textbox, then press return . #Include "stringmod.bi" Dim As String textout Dim As tMouseBack mouseBack 'simple stringmod example Print "Preset string: "; textout = stringmod("This is a stringmod example") ...

@Gablea: This is "my" substitution of the INPUT statement (I call it "stringmod.bi"). The options to imitate keystrokes with mouse and joystick and of running a plugin may be a little overhead for you, but you can submit an initial string to modify: Type tJoyBack up_ As String ri...

No problems here with WinXP and "Process hacker" (instead of task manager) installed.

Compile with "-s gui" to prevent the console window.

Sounds rather like a bug than like a bottleneck.

Is it possible to discuss references without discussing pointers? That depends. If you only want to know how to use it , it's enough to know that changing a paramter submitted BYREF will affect the value outside of the procedure, while the changes made to a BYVAL parameter are limited to the inside...

@jj2007: I'm sure Jawade is dancing with glee now. <grin> @Jawade: There are several ways to do that. The easiest is to start the popup via the SHELL command: popupmain.bas: ScreenRes 300,200,32 Shell "start " + ExePath + "\popupchild.exe" Do Locate 1,1 Print Timer;" " ...

...but you behave like an a$$h0le ! To me he rather appears to behave like an autistic: Mathematical skills close to Einstein and manners close to a hooligan. Not out of bad faith, but because he simply isn't able to understand the mechanisms of a harmonic social coexistence. In addition to that he...

A simple example, quick & dirty (to be elaborated :-) ): Sub mask Color 7, 1 'lt grey / blue Cls Print Chr(218); String(20, 196); Chr(194); String(10, 196); Chr(194); String(10, 196); Chr(194); String(10, 196); Chr(191) For x As Integer = 1 To 20 Print Chr(179); String(20, " "); Chr(17...

On my machine (WinXP/32) WQ1980's code works.

Commenting out the Fl_SetFont statement causes a segmentation fault.

Sorry, I only get a window with a grey background.
