That's a very good idea, lurah. Besides, I'm willing to "lay down my weapons" as long as the "opposing side" is willing to lay down theirs. The last thing Galleon needs right now is people destroying his reputation. But there is one person in particular that you might want to get...

Galleon himself wasn't immune to the virus either; he said quite a few ridiculous things in times past. But it appears he's been rather civil lately...and with good reason too, because screwing up his own reputation now is not what he needs. Unfortunately for him, people like burger/clippy are screw...

That rule only applies to images uploaded to the server. His avatar is remotely linked and therefore isn't forced to conform to the avatar ruleset. 150x150 is the generally accepted standard for forum avatars across the web, it's considered bad netiquette to use larger images.

Call me a doctor! You're a doctor. Most newer programmers do not DIM all of their variables, especially if they are just experimenting. There is absolutely nothing wrong with type suffixes. Look in any book on Basic! That's a pretty gross assumption. You have no idea if a coder, even a "new on...

That code would work if not for the & broken parts. All one has to do is recognize that minor issue and make the change in the source when they copy it.

Type suffixing is evil.

Don't use QB 7.1 unless you have a specific reason for doing so. Stick with QB 4.5, it tends to produce smaller executables anyways.

How do you know that his a and b variables aren't strings already?

The flicker is, of course, a result of the CLS. You're using SCREEN 7, which means you can always use screen pages. Look up how to do this in the QB help, it gives a pretty good explanation. One suggestion I have for you: if you're going to use INKEY$, don't try doing comparisons against INKEY$ itse...

Andrew, I ran into the same exact problem while testing that source code. It appears to be a little broken. Unfortunately, I did not test that code before explaining it to you, so I'm partially at fault for that. In any event, if all you need is a working BMP viewer, you can use this: http://www.nod...

Andrew: post your whole program so I can help you debug it. And ignore burger2227, he's a well-known troublemaker around these parts.

No. The TYPE is to be left alone. It's code after all. The comments simply explain to you what you should find after the header is read from the BMP file. OUT &H3C8, 0 is always going to fail. It's not valid syntax; it's a result of someone's web script monkeying up. The valid syntax is like...

I can give you some more detailed information. I did not copy the TYPE information because it really doesn't need explaining, and it wouldn't copy with linebreaks anyways. In fact, nothing did...I had to add those manually. Urg! Anyways... DIM BmpHeader AS BMPHeaderType The TYPE you see earlier is j...

Or if you want to see them visually...

There is a standard VGA palette but it isn't exactly "named" in any way. Furthermore, you can customize it to your liking with little effort as long as you understand the "6 bit rule"...that is, 6 bits for each color index, or 0-63. Each color in the VGA palette is made up of 6 b...

EDIT: Deleted. I don't have to stoop to your level.

You have some pretty serious reading/language comprehension problems. And I do mean serious. Clearly what I'm saying isn't getting through to you, but then again, that's to be expected. I have already explained it three times now, I'm not going to do it again. Grab a book on basic English comprehens...

A batch file is merely a text file that you rename the extension to .bat. The file contains normal command line instructions. You could associate .BAS files with the batch file that you would use to start up QBX with the default library loaded.

What v1ctor or FB has to do with this? There is different ways to create project. Some ones likes to publish it when its more functional and others publishes it from the scratch and works with it. Whats the matter? Are you saying v1ctor way is better or even only right one? What I'm saying is that ...

Youre ok fella by my side but even ok peoples does write time to time something that is wrong/brainless or something. In this case, i think your reply was way too rude if we consider phase where qb64 is at this moment. It is practically a baby, and if baby cant yet walk properly, you dont start yel...
