I have to make fbc.exe, gcc.exe, fbidetemp.exe exceptions in Avira antivirus win 10, otherwise they would never run. You can easily produce false positives yourself during coding, especially if you are using winApi functions. I have loads of them in quarantine, I get a couple of sharp beeps, a big r...

You just cast the long to ulong. (use culng)

Hi Albert. I have been following your compressor, but have been messing with other stuff also. To permute you can either write some code to cycle a string, but I had this old code to do it a different way. Sub Permutate(Byval s2 As String,perm() As String,OptionalStop As String="") Dim As ...

Thanks fxm. Here is a test of a good ide. fbide opens the offending include file (fbgfx.bi in this case), and shows the path to this include file at the top. All the other ides I tested just show the compile error. dim as long x=1 #macro test #if typeof(x)=long #include "fbgfx.bi" #endif #...

Off topic. I also have a preprocessor question. The help file for #if extract; This conditional directive differs from the If conditional statement in that #if is evaluated at compile-time and If is evaluated at run-time. But here in this snippet it looks like #if is being evaluated at run time. #ma...

The getsize macro is quite robust. #macro GetSize(array,d) d=Ubound(array,0) For n As Integer=1 To d If n=1 Then d=1 d=d*(Ubound(array,n)-Lbound(array,n)+1) Next d=d*Sizeof(array) #endmacro dim as long size Dim As Integer a() ReDim a(10 To 20) getsize(a,size) print size;" bytes" redim as i...

Sorry Badidea, didn't quite get your request. You could simply define your path as the folder without the end quote. and put the end quote at the end of #include. example #define path "C:\Users\User\Desktop\New folder #include path\fbgfx.bi" #include path\document.bi" using fb sleep T...

In windows you can define a path.

Hi caseih I didn't pass any udt pointers in my code. I just prefer straight udt's when it is possible. But if the callback is to be a method then I think I have a measure of qsort_s Simple example using the extra pointer to determine sort direction. (Get a warning though) extern "c"...

A disadvantage of a static method is that you have no access to THIS But if you pass a udt to it, you have access to THIS once more. I can't think of an easier way to make a static method SEEM like a non static method. #include "crt/stdlib.bi" #include "file.bi" '========= set up...

Well done.
Well written fb looks cool and runs well.
You forum contributions are all in this category.

I also like badidea's reasoning. To sort only part of an array with qsort you say from which lower element to which upper element within the array. I am sure that badidea can incorporate this feature in his method. But here is my own method with choices on the fly. (I keep select case out of the cal...

If you use inputfile=command(1), then you have drag and drop. You can format the outputfile name any way you like (within the realms of common sense). #include "vbcompat.bi" dim as string Content dim as string InputFile="results.txt" var x= format(now,"yyyymm") dim as s...
