@Mysoft It is better to use ImageGadget for drawing, while using ImageStartDraw+SetImageGadget. @Vortex thank you! yes but i can't get mouse and key events from an imageGadget with the current state... only from windows oh btw i tested what i had done so far on a linux machine, and seems the linux ...

also i find weird that you have GetLenString for printer, but not for image/window, Just at the moment I am writing a similar function, but it will be called differently ok, right now i used GetLenString on linux (because it does not seem to depend on any printing specific stuff, but it will add th...

hum... WindowBackgroundImage claims to be both windows/linux but i can't seem to find it on linux sources or bi files... (despite it seems badly documented as it suggestes DeleteObject to delete the returned hbrush, but i guess brush is only used for the auto-pattern while manual drawing on WM_ERASE...

oh no worries, i dont want to use a third party library on windows (other than window9 itself), and w9 almost have everything i need anyway, except for the font size part, and actual "char" received on keyboard events as i just have virtual key hehe... maybe we should add that for w9, as w...

ok, i had the opportunity to test this... and i like that is kinda a wrapper based on winapi functionality :) i know the source code of this have some OOP on it... but oh well, AT LEAST that isnt required to use the library at all, and i'm VERY VERY VERY¹²³ thankful for that. So since i got the requ...

ok, so i have to be persistant on the state for it to work i see, on windows that was not required but good to know yeah loading is not an option because it wastes ram like crazy and takes a bunch to load a whole mp3, but thats what the code had at first i will try the updated code... btw theres any...

so tried this minimal sample of fbsound 1.1 (dynamic) on ubuntu 20.04 with 64bit version of fbsound... #include "fbsound_dynamic.bi" dim shared as integer IsPlaying sub playmp3(f as STRING) if IsPlaying then FBS_End_MP3Stream() FBS_Create_MP3Stream(f) FBS_Play_MP3Stream() IsPlaying=true sl...

heh garbage way to download... useless bloat on the package (altough it supposely having freebasic along is "ok") it requires the IDE to compile anything made by it.. you can't export... you can't use it ouside the IDE its OOP garbage only... so its useless... the IDE just by opening uses ...

so the site is currently pointing to a webchat that does not exist anymore... (freenode became joseon and the webchat got disabled)
so... it should be updated to point to

heh among the things i was trying to get to work with freebasic, but without success they were "intrinsinc" instructions... like i could even get SOME working i.e. declare function __popcnt cdecl alias "__builtin_popcount" (n as integer) as integer print __popcnt(3) but i can't g...

ok... where i do start... first i will use the old version of it as i think the .bi expect that version.... AND... the newer version does not have windows binaries... so one would need to compile that to even try... and i wont do that, so lets work with what we have... since aspell have installers f...

ok, so it seems on freebasic 1.01+ i need to have two macros calling each other for the idea to work... and to avoid having duplicates of the macros it will have another macro to create the two macros.... so it looks like this: #macro RepTill10() #macro __GenMacro(_GA,_GB) #macro __DoRepeat##_GA() p...

so what is the current state and ideals of freebasic regarding Recursive Defines? its a very useful thing to allow more advanced parsing at compile time, but seems too much effort is doing on freebasic to try to "eliminate" that without a good reason... for example: #macro UcaseChar( _N , ...
