Your FB version is completely outdated!

Try a current version.

Val*** return types are not correct. It's always a Integer in wiki.

The informations on Long seems also irritating:

Depending on the platform, same as Integer or Longint. A 32-bit or 64-bit signed whole-number data type.

FBC is a 32bit-compiler and Long is ever 32bit, also on 64bit platforms.

I patched the examples last few days and saw this but its windows-only and i've made my varianttype some weeks ago.

Btw., the download contains some examples.

I've read wishes about a Variant-Datatype in FB. IMO it's bad to have that in FB but as a lib it could be useful.

Here you have the implementation of a variant-like datatype:

It works well but be careful with pointers.

'Get' seems to put a 'Chr(1)' into the file: Dim As Integer file Dim As String fileName = "buffer.txt" Dim As Byte buffer Kill(filename) file = Freefile Open fileName For Binary As #file buffer = 65 Put #file, , buffer Get #file, , buffer ' comment out this line and the bug goes away Print...

There are some issues with freeimage. Try to use an older version. Freeimage 3.9.3 seems to work.

Some time ago, I replied on a post about CPU and memory usage. (see http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=121691&highlight=#121691 ) Now I will give this tool to the community: With mdprocess you can get the CPU and memory usage of the PC and every single process. Download mdprocess API...

Download for SHA1Checksum see first post.

As promised I changed the SHARED variables and included the code into one .bi

Download see first post.

Just put the padding variable into the type and copy the text in MD5Checksum.bas into the .bi (except of the "include").

I'll do the changes during the next days.

I could do some optimization but to speed it really up, you'll need ASM. Due to the lack of my knowledge about ASM and how to use it properly, i can't do it.

The code is open source, so if anyone could do some ASM-voodoo, it would be great ;)

I think this could be useful for some people: To create MD5 hashvalues: #Include "MD5Checksum.bas" createHash(text As String) As String 'and createFileHash(file As String) As String SHA1 hashes: #Include "SHA1Checksum.bas" createSHA1(text As String) As String 'and createFileSHA1(...

This is how I solved it...more or less.

If you set a sleep 800, it should show the same usage as taskmanager do.
And with my code you can get usage for (almost) all processes.

I've translated my lib (mentioned here: http://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13993) so maybe it could be useful.

It's a alternative because I used WinAPI (neither PDH nor WMI).
