Hi Timo,

Thanks for your add-in. I managed to install it. Right clicking an API function, the internal browser of Pelle's IDE takes me to the first page of win32.chm, Microsoft Win32 Programmer's Reference.

Thanks Vortex, I'm completing the DLL version and fixing some minor bugs.
I forget to mention that the browser, a customized listview control, use a working thread to fill the list, this allows an efficient and fast handling of huge databases.

Hi Michele,

Thanks. We will wait for an attachment to test your library.

Hmmm - strange because I see CloseHandle no problem, using the win32.chm under Pelles Help set as above in Tools.

I also see it when the Hint Add-in calls win32.chm on its own.

Something unusual happening there - something corrupted maybe?


For CreateProcessW - Yes this is just not in the win32.chm file.  That file contains no "A" or "W" trailing identifiers at all.  This is a drawback to win32.chm which came out so long ago, but Hint Add-in and Hint_SA do include the W format so that the pointers are shown correctly.

I forget to say that the help of Gemini speeded up everything.
The program compiles with PellesC, Clang and MSVC.

I'm writing a library, named 'DynSQLite', to simplify the use of SQLite in user programs.
The library carry a table browser that allows CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) actions on each row, and to inspect blob fields as hex or image, even save, or load, a table, supported formats CSV, JSON, XML and SQL script.
The package include also a SQL editor/executor, that comes with syntax highlighter and auto-completion.
I wrote a demo program, SQLite-Browser, that is completely based on DynSQLite, the images attached shows some samples of use.
The software is almost completed in version Beta, I'll publish soon in the hope that could be useful to someone else.

I tested it first, but i had problems with it.
For example check CloseHandle and what you see ?

DialogBox -> CommDlgExtendedError
EndDialog -> CCHookProc

no help :
CreateProcessW

If Win32.chm don't work well with poide, this might help.
Just make ChmHelpAW.ini file to Libraries -> Documents folder with:
[Settings]
HelpFile=C:\your folder\Win32.chm
Source is for Pelles C 13, 14
