Some times (after several executions), I obtain a bad diagonal drawn on the second screen, but a copy (with the mouse) of such screen provides the good result when pasted. Just a problem of drawing on the text console? Sorry , but after several executions of both .bas code (quick run) in FBIDE as w...

does not work in all cases: Try it with my example provided in the bug report. P.S. I think that I found a Workaround to make your code example to work anyway ! My workaround may not be able to get the approval of Grindstone (please refer to his critique of my using semi-colon in my code above) . T...

No? The first time I controlled Winamp by a FB program using SendMessage I felt GREAT. <grin> Well , if I could control my PC from a boot prompt (booting from own core/or Linux core) using programs that I had written myself in assembler code or c/c++ then I might get the same warm fuzzy feeling tha...

Yes but the proposed workaround does not work in all cases: Try it with my example provided in the bug report. Sorry , but I have absolutely no idea how your code in the bug report is supposed to print if there were no bug, but at a glance it seem to me that the work around works just fine : origin...

Why that? I never run into any trouble using the LOCATE statement as described in the reference. https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=25917#p236891 Please see here for official general bug report : https://sourceforge.net/p/fbc/bugs/864/ There is no need of a semicolon following ...

but IMHO a site hosted on the freebasic.net server would be decent solution. You'll get a subdomain like "fbcadcam.freebasic.net" in that case. While I would like to acknowledge that I think that the CAD program Owen has written is great piece of work then I think that he does not necessa...

Screen I/O for newbies [Updated 2017-10-14] Second update : Having picked up a code suggestion from Grindstone to optimize cursor flashing the code has now been updated a second time to hopefully be both platform independent (code do no longer rely on Windows only macros) and low on CPU load. Enjoy...

Yes , the term RAD, certainly means different things, to different people. : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAD However , to me it generally means "Rapid-application development (RAD)" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_application_development ) - well ,actually , to be more precise, the...

There is the newer WinFBE by Paul Squires (also Windows), currently without Designer @Trinity, I was not referring to your answer to OP, but the one, to Carlos Herrera ... Well , from your earlier post regarding WinFBE I had difficulty seeing that questions about "designer" (RAD) improvem...

Both Paul and I have expertise with the Windows API after working during many years with the PowerBasic compiler, but we don't have expertise with Linux or other systems. Thank you. Personally then I have zero knowledge with all the RAD stuff , except the "VISG" which I had to download an...

@Trinity, Not: FireFly Visual Designer for FreeBASIC (that is a standalone Tool) WinFBE, IDE for FreeBASIC , in Forum/Projects (at the top, pinned) ??? User wrote this : ptitjoz wrote: is there a RAD to draw a form and its components? (form, button, edit, combobox, etc) I personally do use an IDE b...

let me make a very faint suggestion for Paul. Paul might notice it if you put it at the thread for the FireFly Visual Designer for FreeBASIC (Updated March 8, 2016) : https://www.freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=15796 or alternatively visited him over at his very own forum : http://www.p...

Virus ? WINFB32.EXE AVira see : TR/Nivdort.hdfcd I think that you can be sure that there is no virus in Paul's "FireFly Visual Designer for FreeBASIC (Download)" : http://www.planetsquires.com/protect/forum/index.php?topic=3643.0 If you are afraid of it then use http://www.virustotal.com ...

Not sure how to remove the flicker because screenlock/unlock just seems to freeze up the input command. The flickering will disappear for most of the time if you insert the code below and StartHiResSleep (for some reason the flickering will reappear in between and then go away) (Code by deltarho[18...
