This isn't an array. It looks like you are using a Listbox control. They are 2 very different things.

#Include "windows.bi" Dim As POINT pt Do If GetCursorPos(@pt) Then Print pt.x, pt.y End If If GetAsyncKeyState(VK_LBUTTON) Then Print "Left Button Pressed" Sleep 100 Loop Until InKey=Chr(27) You can get a list of all the virtual key codes Here -Vince

Yes Here is a start for your wish list. This will get the screen coordinates of the mouse whether inside or outside of the program window #Include "windows.bi" Dim As POINT pt Do If GetCursorPos(@pt) Then Print pt.x, pt.y End If Sleep 100 Loop Until InKey=Chr(27) -Vince

Yes

I was watching some MIT lectures while researching the idea of creating a new programming language and the one key point the professor spoke of was that it would need to have at a minimum, associative arrays as a standard data type. I searched the FB forum and found several discussions of which I w...

Another suggestion would be to optimize your algorithms.

You need to create a manifest file that goes with your EXE file. Example (MyApp.exe.manifest) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <asmv1:assembly manifestVersion="1.0" xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" xmlns:asmv1="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm...

Check out the ScreenRes command. You can specify height/width of most any size.

A routine is thread-safe when it is re-entrant without concern of race conditions or variable value collisions. What this generally means is that there are no global variables accessed by the routine and that every entry will have its own safe copy of variables or values. There are exceptions to wan...

You you can pass a pointer to the array. The biggest issue is there is no mechanism to dynamically declare an array based on the return from a function (That I know of). For instance in C# you can do... string[] parts = somestring.Split(','); This would declare a string array of parts based on the r...

The best speed optimization for loops is to unroll them. Do as many calculations per loop as you can. For example, instead of counting from 1 to 100 doing a calculation each iteration, step by 5 and do 5 calculations per loop.

You need to pin the byte array and marshal it to a fixed memory buffer. Example IntPtr unmanagedPointer = Marshal.AllocHGlobal(bytes.Length); Marshal.Copy(bytes, 0, unmanagedPointer, bytes.Length); // Call unmanaged code Marshal.FreeHGlobal(unmanagedPointer); Then you need to copy the result back to...

How did I miss this library?!
Another great addition thanks to DJ!

You rock!

Can any of these functions be generalized into a software rendering library of sorts? This is very nice work.

You shouldn't have to mutex reading the timer, but IIRC the timer only has a resolution accuracy of 15ms. Also, at least under Windows, you cannot guarantee a thread will start executing immediately when it is called.
