Chit-Chat / Downloaded Pelles C 13

Last post by hewurfeljr - December 24, 2025, 12:47:01 AM

I was able to download Pelles C 13 from the web site saved
on the Wayback Machine of the Internet Archive. I installed
it on Windows 11 and it works great.

Actually i want to find an old code from 2014 - 2015,
when i tested COM typelib from quartz.dll

With this code device is available, even WinMCI stopped working with it.

Hi Timo,

Code Select

I can't find an old WebCAM code right now.
Did you try some sites like the Internet Archive to find the software?

Quote from: ddainelis1 on December 21, 2025, 05:33:09 PMthe explanation above sounds what I expected Pelles C should do. I was hoping there would be a menu choice similar to the add files to delete files. However, I need to figure out how to do a right click on the MacBook Air.

again thank-yo for your help

You're welcome.
I don't have a MAC, but this Link should be helpful.
Some more help is available on APPLE site.

Welcome to the forum.

If you can't figure out Maxbook air right click, let the forum know. There are manual edits that could be made, but not recommended so only last resort.

Also possible an Add-In might be created to add feature to the menu.

Best case though is search for method to right click, many things in "Windows" require it.
