It looks like that here is the issue :
It looks like that here is the issue :
Code Select
PWORD pMenu = pPtr;
if (*(WORD*)pPtr) { // Menu ?
---------> while (pPtr) pPtr++; <-------------- This line
pPtr ++; // past zero

Last post by Pelle - February 05, 2026, 05:55:12 PMOK. Anyway, should be added now for the next version. Best guess: first release candidate at beginning of next month.

I built your code as a 32-bit console application but it crashes on Windows 7 64-bit.

That's why you should probably make libraries like this yourself, you get the most benefit from it that way.
I agree. Many people stay within the same "domain" when writing programs, so similar code sequences are bound to come up again. Rather than simply copy and pasting the existing code, thinking about how to place it in a reusable library is a useful thought process by itself. It may trigger new ideas...

Last post by TimoVJL - February 03, 2026, 11:53:25 PMA poide resource editor can be useful for designing GUI.
Just read res-file for dynamic controls to window.
As far I remember, there is couple examples of it.
Dialog code from res-file
EDIT: example code removed

Last post by alderman2 - February 03, 2026, 11:24:40 PMI have created a library for Windows-specific functions etc. I have about 800 such functions. This is what it looks like to open a window and place it in the center:
hwnd=ac_WindowCreate_1(hInst,"Xxxx",100,100,1200,720,"MIN_MAX_CLO"); //
ac_WindowSetCenterPos_1(hwnd);
A push buttons:
hwnd_G_Knapp_1 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 0,0,120,30,"Name 1","C","SHADOW",BUTT-1);
hwnd_G_Knapp_2 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 120,0,120,30,"Name 2","C","SHADOW",BUTT-2);
hwnd_G_Knapp_3 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 240,0,120,30,"Name 3","C","SHADOW",BUTT-3);
hwnd_G_Knapp_4 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 360,0,120,30,"Name 4","C","SHADOW",BUTT-4);
hwnd_G_Knapp_5 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 480,0,120,30,"Name 5","C","SHADOW",BUTT-5);
hwnd_G_Knapp_6 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 600,0,120,30,"Name 6","C","SHADOW",BUTT-6);
hwnd_G_Knapp_7 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 720,0,120,30,"Name 7","C","SHADOW",BUTT-7);
hwnd_G_Knapp_8 =ac_ButtonSimpleCreate_1(hwnd, 840,0,120,30,"Name 9","C","SHADOW",BUTT-8);

Bug reports / Re: IDE Reload. Eroteme Replac...
Last post by Pelle - February 01, 2026, 10:46:54 PMI trust the programmer to choose the proper file format when saving.
I try to identify UTF-8 encoded text files without a BOM when loading into the IDE, but an UTF-8 text file without a BOM and without any UTF-8 encoded characters looks like any ASCII(/ANSI) text file.
Not looking like an UTF-8 encoded text when loaded, and then annotated with "exotic" characters and just saved again will probably not go too well. The IDE can be smarter, but I don't want too many "helpful" dialogs either... (I usually do this: when in a source code editor: got to "Properties", and check/change "Encoding").

Last post by Pelle - February 01, 2026, 10:27:25 PMI guess this should be fixed for compatibility, but <tchar.h> hasn't been interesting since people stopped supporting Windows NT and Windows 9X (which in my book was right after the stone age...
