Ok, thanks chief.

VPExplorer

Thanks, but let me change the question to what my actual point was. I wasn't clear. Will the 10.02 setup replace/overwrite 10.01, or do I have to uninstall 10.01 first? I don't need multiple version, I just want the most recent version. My concern is that if I uninstall 10.01, I will have to purchas...

Hi,

I just downloaded the setup for 10.02. It says I have to install 10.01 in order to proceed.

One more question: Pie hasn't changed in the past couple of years, correct? I don't need to recompile it, I think.

VPExplorer

Perfect, thanks Thomas.

VPExplorer

Thanks Thomas, I'm familiar with the Properties dialog, but don't know how to get the maximum number of rows programatically. This is clear in other languages ; sometimes it's something like MaxColumn() and MaxRow() or something similar. If we're doing a grid for example, we need to know the maximum...

Hi, Got one more question for the week, and that should be enough to play with for the next few days, and learn by trial & error. I'm trying to build a function similar to the Windows console FillConsoleOutputCharacter(). We have the method of getting the maximum number of characters in a row, t...

Freedos has a respectable following. There are hobbyists who still dabble there, and they work with C or Pascal and other legacy languages. I'll bet there are still some Fortran hobbyists. There are languages that are almost 100% compatible between the Dos version and the Windows version. Even one s...

Thanks, Thomas. I'll be able to use some of this right away. Can't thank you enough. Yeah, I read about the Virtual Terminal plans, earlier in the week. I didn't get that the Console Api would be abandoned anytime soon. It's not only Win32 that uses the console, it's also some .net apps. For example...

Hi, 2 questions related to colors in the console - 1) Where is the list of colors and intensities? For now, I'm playing with setTextAttribute( 1, 1 ), which is obviously blue. Is there a specific reference in the .chm help, or in the wiki? So far, from trial & error, I have this: constants con_b...

VPExplorer

Ok, thanks Thomas. Got another question, related to the console. Will open another thread.

string_list. Thanks, Harrison.

Turns out this usage was deprecated, but VP fixed it immediately to

Code: Select all

string*

Hi, On the Lists and Recursion page Lists and Recursion , it uses an example domains llist = l(list); i(integer); c(char); s(string). % the functors are l, i, c, and s that applies to the list [i(2), i(9), l([s("food"), s("goo")]), s("new")] What if we have just a list ...

VPExplorer

I know, thanks Thomas.

VPExplorer

Got it, from console.pro:

Code: Select all

setLocation(coord(5, 10))

VPExplorer

Hi,

I know these aren't simple parameters, as in

setLocation(Row, Column)

, but I don't know how to write the CursorPosition structure.

So if we wanted to position the cursor at (5, 10), how would we do that?

Thanks for your assistance so far, Thomas.
