thaks guys and yeh counting_pine might try that _exit(1) although my program does only have 1 non global variable.

I have a program that runs a thread and I just tried to use 'end' in the thread rather than the main program and it ended the program no probs (Win10+FB1.01) so just wondering if this is ok to do (seems to be) as it suits my program better :)

ahh that's what it is - cheers Dodicat :)

Yeh it's prolly the browser but I like Edge actually and it's pretty fast too :)

Hey! sorry missed this! I ran your code and no probs here even with a sleep 100 in there. Then I ran this code: #include "fbgfx.bi" screen 8 do if multikey(fb.sc_left) then ? "x"; sleep 10 loop until inkey()=chr(27) and yeh on the 25th line it will scroll up as if you've used 'vi...

Well, bummer that my video playing code does not work in Win10 Pro (ver. 10.0.17134) and I think it's because they've dropped directshow somewhere along the way so question is: What do you use to play video in FreeBasic now? I've tried the example program in Freebasic x64 (test.bas) and that just er...

Ahhh Nevermind! it all works properly now, even the original exe - weird!

HI folks. Recently installed Win10 Pro 64bit and when I ran my WinPopUp program in FBIde got a strange behavior from multikey - here's the code: if multikey(&h3b) then start if multikey(&h58) then shutdown if multikey(&h3f) then centre v.hist(0),1,0 'show previous message and when the pr...

Thanks guys! Both of those worked well and the re-direct to null is especially useful :)

How do you stop the messages from showing in your consul program? eg. When doing a shell 'copy' command the system will always report "1 file copied" or when you run a program the program itself might have a message too and print that in consol so i want to stop these messages from appeari...

Program totally re-written with better code.

100% chance :)

nice job! pretty cool :)

Here's what i've been working on forever and apart from the rest of the 'systems' it's all there. Basically an 'Uplink' type game but back in the good old modem days. Everything is keyboard and fullscreen and not much to know apart from below. F1=Help screen and pretty much has all you need to get b...

cheers fxm

Initially i thought since this one time code was about 1/4 the overall size of the .bas i would save 1/4 on the .exe eg. 80k but not so, and not even half that, so apart from that it would be a good learn about dlls, no point worrying about it :)
