I've been absent a long time, ive done a google search in general and of the forums, but i cannot find a definitive answer whether FB can install into Mac OS X (i'm add Macintosh and macbook as keywords).

Based on the work and code by jcfuller, I want to offer this variation on Windows listboxes with checkboxes, those having both a 'checked' and 'active' value. I've place chkdlstb.bas into my local library, which is why I've split this into so many pieces chkdlstb.bi ' chkdlstb.bi #include once "...

You modified a standard control to do something it was not designed to do. You seem to be assuming that the LBN_SELCHANGE notification should be sent when you press the spacebar because it is sent when you left-click an item. That was pretty arrogant of me. I've re-written the code to access either...

The left mouse button causes the LBN_SELCHANGE notification to be sent, and ListCheck gets updated there. So this could a windows problem, not a program flaw, in that using the keyboard to flip the checked state does not cause the LBN_SELCHANGE notification to activate. Actually, if I remove the ch...

Try trapping the return key from the WM_CHAR handler. I already tried that, did not work, which is why I added the WM_KEYDOWN block The code that reports the state of the check boxes refers to the ListCheck array. But you will notice that the corresponding code for the left mouse button does not al...

In the code converted from PowerBASIC by jcfuller May 18, 2008, I've tried to include the ability for the space key or enter key to check/uncheck a given row's box. I want to do this without altering the external list data array. My code is: Case WM_CHAR If wParam = Asc(" ") Then t = SendM...

Excellant, thank you very much!

If my two cents are worth something, I like AndIf and OrIf.

I've populated my listbox, but I need to reproduce what I've seen MS VB - a listbox with check marks beside each item. I've looked at the listbox styles, none seem to jump out and say "this one". I'm currently using: LBS_HASSTRINGS WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE WS_TABSTOP Am I missing a style, is VB re...

A long time ago, I found a Visual Basic module that encapsulated all of the code necessary for using SHBrowseForFolder. For example, the code provided in: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1750 can be easily extended to locate files by changing: bi.ulFlags = 0 into bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETU...

I tried to search the forum archives, and I was going to ask this in the IRC channel but there was no one there AFAIK. When I installed a new version of FB, I need to add my own common include files into the FB\inc folder, which is a pain. Does FB recognize an INCLUDE environment variable? The same ...

The C headers were translated before const qualifiers were added. You should use a const quailifed version of vsnprintf. va_first() needs to be cast to an any ptr. Your example works: dim s as string s = "Hello" print _sprintf( !"length of '%s' is %d\n", s, len(s) ) But this doe...

The const qualifier on the return value is not ignored. It would be helpful to see a bit more code though. The const qualifiers are a new feature and many bug fixes have been made wince the 0.18.3 release. ... Same idea with function return values. I'm using Version 0.18.4 (12-30-2007) for win32 (t...
