NOPE, I don't do Windows! Ask my landlord

If he can't even find his My Documents folder, then I imagine he doesn't know where his QB and PDS files are installed either.

I would try to figure out Windows Explorer first! Get some Windows lessons son!

My Qb45 files are in folders too, but that may confuse some people. The best thing is for all files to be in the same folder if you are having path problems! Also I only run programs in QB from my Basic Folder when they have data or image files to reference. QB will always look for files in it's fol...

The following Function converts any decimal Integer number (decnum&) to any base number (CBase%) up to 10 as a string number. Can be adapted to handle string entry parameters also with VAL. FUNCTION Dec2Base$(decnum&, CBase%) DO remain% = decnum& MOD CBase% 'remainder sets next digit dec...

Where are these two files?

BCL71ENR.LIB and BRT71ENR.LIB

They MUST be in the same Folder as QBX.EXE and the module you compile!

Ted

Code: Select all

FUNCTION IntegerOnly% (dec!)
decimal$ = LTRIM$(STR$(dec!))

FOR i = 1 to LEN(decimal$)
     Temp$ = MID$(decimal$, i, 1)
     IF Temp$ = "." THEN EXIT FOR
NEXT

IntegerOnly% = VAL(MID$(decimal$), 1, i - 1)

END FUNCTION

Is the program in the same folder as QBX.EXE? Did you create a Shortcut to QBX.EXE? You can place the path into each of the Paths listed in Menu Options too. Sometimes Windows may run the wrong instance of QBX.EXE if it is in more than one folder.

I think he is talking about sorting a 3 dimensional array.

I sure hope he finds that CAP LOCK key and quits yelling at us!

Some programs are just too large to compile, but you may be able to see the errors better if you compile and don't exit. There may be some other errors built in that only show on compiling. As for My Documents, I forget where it is on a 95 machine. Find the folder on your computer and copy the path ...

What error code is returned for "Out of Data Space"?

Never saw it listed anywhere.

String Space cannot exceed 32,767 string characters, whether printed or kept in an Array. If you have 4K elements how long are the strings held in them? Each character of a string takes 1 byte of memory. To reduce memory type problems, etc. try creating some SUB programs. SUBs release the memory use...

There is a problem using INP(&H60) with the Arrow keys. It seems that the arrow keys are designated as added keys and not only returns the correct scancode. but 224 also. Plus the numberlock mode may send back a 170 release code in either mode. The number lock keyboard arrows do not have this pr...

Screen 7 has pages 0 up to 7, or 8 pages you can draw small areas. Just add pieces at a time to make it look like it is scrolling. Naturally you could also use the pages to add background stuff, like bushes or hazards. You could also use WAIT to decrease flicker. A BIG PROJECT! I don't do games ofte...

I think redrawing the entire screen is AWFUL slow to begin with! Moving the background and not the character is biting off way more than you can probably chew. Perhaps you should rethink the whole idea. This stuff is not for the weak of heart or beginners! Try page flipping in SCREEN 7. (16 colors) ...

Interrupt is a good example of a Library that is used in QB 4.5. To use Absolute or Interrupt in QB45, you need to load the QB Library. That only involves adding /L to the QB.EXE command line, batch file or shortcut: QB.EXE /L For Interrupt you can also '$INCLUDE: 'QB.BI' at the start of a program t...

Here is another demo of how string characters are used in PAINT: SCREEN 13 PAINT (160, 100), CHR$(1) + CHR$(2), 15 PRINT "The pattern" DO: LOOP WHILE INKEY$ = "" CLS LINE (0, 50)-(319, 50), 1 PRINT "A line" DO: LOOP WHILE INKEY$ = "" PAINT (160, 100), CHR$(1) ...

Try using BSAVE files and BLOAD. GET can load the info into an Array and then you can BSAVE that info to a file. To Load a portion, just BLOAD it back and PUT it again. BLOAD and PUT work very fast. Naturally, you may need a large integer Array, according to GET area size and screen mode. Use DEFINT...

PUT and GET must use Coordinates on the screen. Otherwise you get an error! If you cannot see the stuff, you cannot GET it and why do you want to PUT things offscreen?

Ted

Those could just be other Functions using DEF FN. This format is still useable in QB. Probably GWBasic if it has line numbers. DEF FNH (parameters) 'Function's code END DEF In the program code after the function, you just use FNH(parameters) You may have to place the value into another variable like...

GRRRRR

There are 11 LIB files

Hmmmmmmmmmm.........

STRINGs

NOPE

They gotta be somewhere
