« on: January 13, 2023, 09:03:50 pm »

Chris,
I am using the default form and the properties CK.
The following is my StatusBar code:

Code: [Select]

   EZ_StatusBar %FORM1_STATUSBAR, "Left", "4"
   EZ_SetSBParts "Form1", %FORM1_STATUSBAR, 4, "25|25|25|25|"
   EZ_SetSBText "Form1", %FORM1_STATUSBAR, 1, "Left", "P"
   EZ_SetSBText "Form1", %FORM1_STATUSBAR, 2, "Right", "P"
   EZ_SetSBText "Form1", %FORM1_STATUSBAR, 3, "Top", "P"
   EZ_SetSBText "Form1", %FORM1_STATUSBAR, 4, "Foot", "P"
I am using the StatusBar as an easy way to display information tom the user.

For the first time since using Windows 11 I have uses a StatusBar in the Designer.
It appears in the code when compiled but does not appear on the screen when the code is run.
Has this been experienced by anyone?

EZGUI 5 support forum / Re: Moving Sprites

« on: December 23, 2022, 08:56:37 pm »

I apologise for posting this absurd question on something I have done many times some years ago and had simply forgotten.

I do, however, have a real problem with moving Sprites as I don't seem to be able to use IF ---- THEN before moving a sprite. This code doesn't work but if I REM out the IF THEN and END IF  lines it works okay. The trouble is, that without the IF ---- THEN it will also move other sprites.

Code: [Select]

         IF Sname$="LeftSP" OR Sname$="RiteSP" THEN
            EZ_MoveSprites Sname$, -1, 0, 1  ' Move Left
         END IF

I have also tried moving the code to a subroutine but it still doesn't work with the IF ---- THEN but works without it.

Any suggestions?

I am trying to move a sprite continuously by holding down one of the four Arrow keys but I can only get the sprite to move one pixel at a time.
Could someone offer a suggestion on how to do it.
I'm sure I did this a few years ago but my memory loss keeps increasing with my age.

Thank you for your explanation, Chris.
From that as well as reading other "GetSprite" info, I take it there is no way of clicking on a Sprite and retrieving its name or X or Y position.

« on: December 16, 2022, 02:11:37 am »

I've struck a problem with Sprites. Using the following code, I get nothing for the Sprite name and a zero of each of the X& and Y&.
I am running Windows 11.

      CASE %EZ_Click
         a$ = EZ_TestSpriteClick("Form1", %Form1_Canvas1, X&, Y&)
         MSGBOX a$ +STR$(X&)+STR$(Y& )

Can you offer help?

I have managed to fix this and many other strange events I was experiencing.
I bought a new computer running Windows 11 -- Much faster, nothing strange.
Thanks to all who offered their support.

Thank you for your reply, Frank.
I've reinstalled PB10 for the umpteenth time and it's running okay at present.
The next time I have a problem I shall carry out your recommendation.
I am running Reimage (Restoro) as a Virus checking programme.
Kind regards,
Brian Reynolds.

I am having trouble reinstalling my PBWin10. I am running Windows 10. When I compile code, the result does not appear on the screen, even though I get the message:
Successfully created "C:\SheetMusic\SheetMusic.exe".
If I attempt to run the "exe" file, it doesn't work either.
I have been using Windows 10 and PBWin10 for a few years without problems.

I have gone to Compatability and the list offers the following choices:

Windows 95
Windows 98/ Windows Me
Windows XP (Servide packs 2 and 3)
Windows Vista
Windows Vista (Service Packs 1 and 2)
Windows 7
Windows 8

There is no Windows 10 in the list.

Can you suggest a setting? It doesn't work on any of the above.

I'm beginning to wonder if one of the recent updates I have had from Microsoft is causing the problem.

NB: I have also posted this on the PB site.

EZGUI 5 support forum / EZ_FListBox

« on: June 03, 2022, 08:51:09 pm »

I am having problems with EZ_FListBox.
I note in Codeclip the FListBox is entered as:

Code: [Select]

    EZ_FListBox %FORM1_LISTBOX1, 7, 2, 30, 17, "", "STV"
When I enter a FListBox in the designer, it produced:

Code: [Select]

    EZ_FListBox %FORM1_FLISTBOX1, 7, 2, 30, 17, "", "STV"
when it is compiled.
Is there any reason for the difference?

That's odd. I got the following clip from your website a fair while ago but its not the complete info that was on the site. I can't find the complete info now. It was for loading files other than .BMP, such as .JPG, .PNG, etc. I used it a lot:

EZ_GetImageSize F$, W&, H&
Reads an image file and returns the size (width and height) in pixels, without loading.
F$ is the filename (full path) of any Image file windows supports (ie. JPeg, PNG,
GIF)
W& is a long variable to return the width in pixels
H& is a long variable to return the height in pixels
P$ = EZ_LoadImage (F$, W&, H&, QFlag&)
Loads an image file.
F$ is the filename (full path) of any Image file windows supports (ie. JPeg, PNG,
GIF)
W& is the requested width of the image (in pixels)
H& is the requested height of the image (in pixels)
QFlag& if set to non-zero (1) requests best quality possible
If W& and H& are set to -1 (or even zero) then the routine will use the actual size of
the image on file.
The return value (P$) is a valid EZGUI Picture string similiar to the return value of
EZ_LoadPicture.

I have had to reinstall EZGUI50pro and I can't find any details on the use of EZ_GetImageSize.
This may be an update after I bought EZGUI50pro.
Help required.

I have come across something very weird when compiling code.
When I click on the compile button it takes a fair while to actually do anything and when it does it goes to the PowerBasic Home Page.
This even happens when I try to compile one of your Codeclips.
I've never had this happen before and I can't figure out why it happens.
Can you offer a suggestioon to fix it?

Chris,
I was using the Arial that came with my Windows 10.
However, I have just managed to overcome the problem, using the following:

EZ_DefFont 50, "Broadway", 11, "BV[48#]"

and Printing a capital "I"

Thank you for your trouble

EZGUI 5 support forum / Printing Unicode characters

« on: April 04, 2022, 09:50:17 pm »

Can anyone help me with printing very high HEX or UNICODE characters?

Using Windows Character Map, I select Arial and scroll down to about four-fifths of the depth and there's a "Full Block" (black block of character with and depth).

It shows at the bottom what I assume to be a Hex num,ber "U+2588"

I normally print these codes (255 and below) by converting them to a ASCII number but I can't figure how I can do this one.

Can anyone help?
