Once you have the image, you can GET a boxed area. You can later PUT it anywhere within the screen area. You need an appropriate sized array for the job.

The screen buffer can hold the entire screen using BSAVE, but GET and PUT fall a little short of fullscreen in 13.

You can only open COM 1 or 2. To open 3 or 4 you have to swap the port settings. COM 1 to COM 3 or COM 2 to COM 4. Also there is usually only one COM that has a modem on it. If you need to swap then let me know. Look in your Windows component settings to find the COM PORT or Modem port addresses. XP...

I have also recently had problems posting <> arrows.

You cannot post the word C_O_M_P_A_R_I_S_O_N either LOL

I wonder if something has been changed in the forum editor?

I don't think this was a problem previously. Somebody told me to disable the HTML.

Got scooby snax?

You are an apparrent asshole!

Wanna roll over and play dead? ARF

I noticed because you answered about 10 old threads on the same day! Other than that, I saw your ideas about image Arrays and you are DEAD wrong! PUT and GET are more reasonable graphic methods usually. I will not say that you are a bad programmer, but apparently you are a NOOB here. And your commen...

Read the post dates silly! They were from last year kiddo.

THIS THREAD WAS OVER LONG AGO! LOL

Your humility is beyond amazing braggart!

That's what we need here! A braggart!

Great how you picked April Fools day to join!

I have made modules of over 130K with a 26K image array. NEVER have I gotten a Memory error. The key to making such large modules is the use of SUB programs. They dump the memory required when done. If it was suicide, why is it allowed? Because it works. Screen Buffer works too, but it is usually us...

The LEAST you should do is run your code before posting it! Or is this some kind of a joke to keep cheaters away LOL.

Then Open the module with Notepad and paste it here once it is working.

I bet he never finds this page either LOL.

Ted

You cannot use OPTION as it is a QB keyword for OPTION BASE 1. That is used to start arrays at 1 instead of 0.

What does your Keyboard SUB do now? Not needed...

Ted

Deleted all of his posts because he does not want any other CHEATERS in his class to see them..........

Did you ever consider that others read these threads so that we don't have to reply fifty times? Some people read these threads for tips and ideas.

You can have GOSUB or GOTO calls in the Declared SUB, but the line numbers or names are in that SUB also. I don't think GOTO is worth my time except for ON ERROR GOTO. Try to figure a better way to return to a line by writing the program progressively downward until a loop takes it back to the "...

COMMON SHARED is also useable with chained modules that are compiled using BRUN.EXE. It is simpler than SHARED, but SHARED allows you to define the variable type without using type suffixes also. If more than one module needs the same list of COMMON SHARED each module must use it in the same order. ...

Are you passing those variables in the parameter list? Variables not passed must be shared for any Declared Sub programs.

DIM SHARED cost AS SINGLE

You can also DIM arrays as SHARED

CVI converts a string value to an Integer

MKI$ converts an Integer to a string.

They are often used together. There are other CV and MK functions for other types of number values.

Use the QB View Menu. Click Split. Once you have the windows, just click on one and goto a Sub to view it. Then you can go to another place by clicking on another window.

Hey, I just wanted to see if there were any FB people stopping by. I noticed a lack of activity here. NOT ALL of us are allowed at FB.NET you know! They are digging their own hole there! As for QB64, I would not call it ready to take on FB just yet. Besides Michael, we don't wanna start another war ...

You went from a cheater to a hider pretty quick! Don't worry about other's copying your code. If they do, then the teacher will suspect something. Also be sure to use code that fits your experience level in the class. Teachers often can spot code that is more expert than the pupil can normally do. A...

Screen 13 can GET most of the screen. Why would you need to BSAVE and BLOAD an image? That is just plain silly and will not move the image easily! If you BSAVE the ENTIRE screen buffer, it will NEVER move! Just GET the box area where the original graphic is and PUT it at another position. To erase t...
