WinFBE - Code Editor and Visual Designer / Tab icons
Last post by Petrus Vorster - January 23, 2024, 09:25:39 AMHi All
I am still trying to create some sort of visual "flag" for a tab-control to alert the user of pending messages in one of the tabs.
I was wondering if one could not change the TAB icon during runtime?
Currently I have a blue scheme, but I could change the icon to a red scheme if that was possible. I dont want a Messagebox that constantluy pops-up as it annoys the users.
Thanks
Peter

Last post by philbar - January 02, 2024, 03:12:35 AMHi Chris,
Some time back, I also needed a slider, and I got ambitious. Starting with the WinFBX templates that you can find in the WinFBE_Suite/Examples folder (really amazing amount of information there), I made an include file that you can add to your project to add sliders (trackbars). The idea is that you put a frame control on your form to mark where the slider will be and allocate a Slider Type that will occupy the space of the frame when you initialize it. There are properties to get and set the limits and the current value of the slider, and other stuff. If the frame is wider than it is high, you get a horizontal slider, and if it's higher than wide, you get a vertical slider.
Here's a sample project that uses it. I think there's enough comments in SLIDER.INC to get you started.

WinFBE - Code Editor and Visual Designer / Issue with the latest version ...
Last post by Bumblebee - January 01, 2024, 09:36:07 PMSimplified version of code posted earlier.
Version 3.1.0 refuses to compile because of duplicated functions:
Failed Compile (Errors 2 Warnings 0 [2024-03-15 10:28:30])
Command Line:
C:\Excalibur\WinFBE_Suite\toolchains\FreeBASIC-1.10.0-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0\fbc32.exe -m "C:\Excalibur\Test folder\WINFBE_VD_MAIN.bas" -v -s console -x "C:\Excalibur\Test folder\exo skeleton.exe"
FreeBASIC Compiler - Version 1.10.0 (2023-05-14), built for win32 (32bit)
Copyright (C) 2004-2023 The FreeBASIC development team.
standalone
target: win32, 686, 32bit
backend: gas
compiling: C:\Excalibur\Test folder\WINFBE_VD_MAIN.bas -o C:\Excalibur\Test folder\WINFBE_VD_MAIN.asm (main module)
C:\Excalibur\Test folder\WINFBE_VD_MAIN.bas(175) error 4: Duplicated definition
C:\Excalibur\Test folder\WINFBE_VD_MAIN.bas(191) error 4: Duplicated definition
Duplicate functions get added to the end of the code. When I delete the duplicates, and try to compile, the functions are added again.
The bas module was created in version 2.2.0 without project management. So it is standalone and contains a form. The form was converted and displays properly in the version 3 GUI.
I have attached a zip of the test folder.

Last post by Bumblebee - January 01, 2024, 08:19:30 PMMy laptop is using AHCI (I changed it from RST Optane so as to have the option of installing Linux).
If you start having issues with applications compiled with FreeBasic, that may be a clue as to what is going on.
Now that you've reported version 2.2.0 is working on that laptop, Paul might be able to track down the issue.

Last post by Robert Eaton - January 01, 2024, 05:11:42 PMSo it seems any of the versions of 3.x.x crash while 2.2.0 runs ok.
The original drive was mechanical. No longer spins up so I wasn't able to recover anything.
I didn't change any BIOS setting when I put in the new drive. The only thing I see in the BIOS is the SATA mode, which is set to AHCI.

Last post by Bumblebee - January 01, 2024, 04:34:03 PMHaving a problem with FBE but not with other applications is a mystery.
I'm curious. When you installed a new SSD, did you have to change the controller in the BIOS settings?
Or was your previous OS installed on an SSD, even though it was Windows 7?
My laptap is an Acer, btw. 8 gigs memory with a paging file limited to 8 gigs.

Last post by Robert Eaton - January 01, 2024, 02:18:10 PMThis is interesting.
An older version, 2.2.0 works ok.

Last post by Robert Eaton - January 01, 2024, 01:31:29 PMThanks again for all the suggestions.
The issue is only with this particular laptop.
As mentioned, I have tried it on other Windows 10 and 11 computers with no problem.
This is more a curiosity than a big problem since I can still use the program on a different computer.
One other difference for this laptop is that it is older and has the least amount of memory.
It has 4 gigs (1.6 gigs available). The other machines have 8, 16, and 32 gigs of memory.
However, no problems with any other software so far. That amount of memory was never been an issue in the past running programs that likely require more resources.
I ran a memory diagnostic and it came out ok.
