I do not see any fundamental differences with a classic namespace usage:
array.sort(<parameters>)
array.insert(<parameters>)
array.delete(<parameters>)
result = array.scan(<parameters>)
.....

idem for
audio.xxx()
audio.yyy()
audio.zzz()
.....

My hand did not follow my thought (a micro sleep)!

In the constructor body: This.Shape = CLng(rhs) CLng is NOT mandatory because instead with: This.Shape = rh the compiler declared with one parameter (already called "conversion constructor") applies the good implicit conversion because Shape is declared "As Long". Excuse...

Others. Am I missing something here? Why are you using constructors? Just to avoid the mandatory parentheses otherwise: dim as block b=(shapes.circle) shortcut for: dim as block b=Type<Block>(shapes.circle) In the constructor body: This.Shape = CLng(rhs) CLng is mandatory be...

Or else, from the MrSwiss's post, a nested Enum in a Type containing a Long: Type Block Enum Shapes circle = 1 square triangle End Enum As Long Shape Declare Constructor() Declare Constructor(ByVal rhs As Block.Shapes) End Type Constructor Block() End Constructor Constructor Block(ByVal rhs As Block...

Under the hood, Enum contains an hidden Integer field (corresponding of the value of the Enum instance), so that the size of an Enum will be always that of an Integer (no matter how many defined symbols are just declarations for the compiler assignation). In FreeBASIC, an Enum instance can be implic...

Your request is still not clear to me.

But if we swap the order of tests in the code (first, Ulong), Ulong becomes faster!

That's why I still have a reluctance to use SLEEP with a value <15 ms (under Windows), because the actual value applied may depend on the context (timeBeginPeriod()/timeEndPeriod() not multitasking safe).

dkl's answer in 2015 on the same question about the FB 1.02 release (https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=206790#p206790): Does the macros RGB and RGBA are changed too ? So far they're still using UInteger; but yea, it might be useful to change them to ULong. That must have been forgotten...

However, that is allowed:

This is Not False and True :-)

@admins and @developers,

This method (my code above) seems a little twisted, because the main program and the DLL work in their own graphical environment, but all this to result in a single graphical window.

What is your advice on this?

I got message "Segmentation fault" - error 139, seems causes by graphicScreen(), or DyLibFree(library) line in your "main.bas". No problem for me in Win32 and Win64. But you can try to delete 'DyLibFree (library)' which is not mandatory at the end of the main cod...
