Wiki improvements
Re: Wiki improvements
See, FBWIkiHelp
And especially, FBWikiPageNames
The only style so far is for keyword pages is FBRikiTopicSample
Wiki formatting codes is supposed to be at FormattingRules but is blanked out -- need to go through the revisions and remake that page.
For experimentation, very acceptable to play around in SandBox
Short answer is:
CatPg* pages are for categories organizing other pages
If you want to add information, in this case, for AndAlso, OrElse, you should add the information on those pages.

Re: Wiki improvements
coderJeff, thank you. The *FormatingRules*-page was, what I've been looking for.
The page exists, but is empty. :-(
(I've checked the link from: FBWikiHelp)
I'll have a look at sandbox ...

Even if the comment would apply to both? Or a whole bunch, at a CatPg...? (just hypothetically asking, currently)

Re: Wiki improvements
OK, I added:
FBWikiFormatting, which will document the formatting code to use in the wiki. The fbdoc tool that generates the manual won't accept everything. This is a work in progress.
WikkaFormattingRules, the original FormattingCodes that was provided by the wiki software when last updated, for reference.
It's a work in progress. Apologies if links and/or formatting codes are not all valid. The goal will be to make it correct before next release of the FB manual.

Re: Wiki improvements
Great start ... re-enables, the "comunity effort" on the Wiki. Thanks a lot.
Re: Wiki improvements
I have fixed the links in tutorial "Using Libraries".
However I cannot fix the code as I am not familiar with any of the libraries.
All the code examples contain problems.
I added the clip parameter to the syntax/usage in tutorial "Using the Mouse in FreeBasic"

Re: Wiki improvements
You forgot to mention that to use getmouse in a Win 10 console (Which most folk's use now I believe), you must first un-check Quick edit mode.
Otherwise a great disappointment looms heavily.

Re: Wiki improvements
Not only since Win 10, but at least since Win XP.
Re: Wiki improvements
Thanks fxm.
I checked my old xp box, it was set as quick edit mode off as default.
But My Win 10 is the opposite.
Of course, I have no intention of adding my md5 to the long list of technical authors, so my rants are not significant.

Re: Wiki improvements
I actually have no idea what quick edit mode is.
But doesn't this line in this tutorial cover it?
If not then can you write up a line that is more accurate I will add it.
I would also appreciate if someone familiar with the libraries in the other tutorial could rework the code snippets and I will change them.
Alternatively maybe that tutorial should just be scrapped?

IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that you set yourself in a graphic mode in order to use the mouse. the mouse commands will always return -1 for a value if the graphic mode is not set.

Re: Wiki improvements
Right click the console frame
properties
You will see quick edit mode.
This line:
IMPORTANT: It is mandatory that you set yourself in a graphic mode in order to use the mouse. the mouse commands will always return -1 for a value if the graphic mode is not set.
(What is a graphic mode exactly -- a graphics screen??)
I don't know what the line means.
Console:
(if you un-check QuickEdit mode, it should work)
Except the wheel is not showing. (win 10)

Re: Wiki improvements
I thought the wheel worked in windowed mode (and not in full screen mode).dodicat wrote:Console:

This is true at least for Win 7 (I can not test that on my Win 10 PC currently)
Re: Wiki improvements
Both console modes here have no wheel.

On my PC with Win 10, the mouse wheel works in windowed console mode.dodicat wrote:Both console modes here have no wheel.
Re: Wiki improvements
If I go down to legacy console the wheel works.
I cannot get a full screen in this mode though.
I have code page 850, maybe something to do with that.
