Punch...  ;D ;D ;D

Hi mister Mike 

Quote
Have you been able to compile my FBSL code, Aurel? Your editor can't compile it, so how did you manage to even check out my suggestions before criticizing them?

yes of course..without problem i can run your .fbs script with my ASci_FBSL editor
so i see that listbox flickering ...there is no need to lie about that ..right?

As I suspect main problem connected with flickering is because i use
WNDCLASS and not WNDCLASSEX ...

****************************************************
So proper way for GUI application is to use WNDCLASSEX.
****************************************************
also as window style must be used this :
style   = WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW | WS_CLIPCHILDREN

Here is test program with listbox control..so anyone can try to compile
and to see how work.
all best Aurel   :D

Exactly! I'm trying to help Aurel to understand English better because it is only now that he has succeeded in decrypting the very first sentence in the message I posted three days ago. :o He does not or he can not read and understand what I'm telling him! ;D


@Aurel:

The following FBSL script (and of course its equivalent in OxygenBasic if its main window doesn't have CS_HREDRAW/CS_VREDRAW and has WS_CLIPCHILDREN) will provide you with a GUI that's perfectly flicker-free ...

This was the first sentence in the message I posted to you three days ago. I am glad you have finally found the time to read it and translate successfully. I am also glad you implemented some of my suggestions in your OxygenBasic code. I also hope you will, from now on, be using SendMessage(hStatus, WM_SIZE, 0, 0) to reposition your statusbar both in your editor code and elsewhere.

I will however also strongly recommend using my BeginDeferWindowPos()/DeferWindowPos()/EndDeferWindowPos() suggestion whenever your GUI is going to host some five visible controls or more.

Good luck! :)

Aurel,

Your code contained bugs. Here's a full version that behaves for me exactly like FBSL: no flicker in both controls under Classic, slight flicker of blue selected line in the listbox under Luna.

my code contain bug  :o

Here's how you create your controls:
Quote
LBox = CreateWindowEx 0x200,"LISTBOX","", 0x50000140, lbx, lby, lw, lh, Hwnd, 0,0,LBID

and here's how they must be created:
Quote
LBox = CreateWindowEx WS_EX_CLIENTEDGE, "ListBox", "", WS_CHILD + WS_VISIBLE + LBS_NOINTEGRALHEIGHT, lbx, lby, lw, lh, Hwnd, LBID, 0, 0

Watch out for your control ID argument positions the next time you land in front of your PC to code something.


but your even don't show status bar  :o :o :o

Ya trollin' an' tryin' to make a fool of me again, man? Watch yet another one of my videos then, you seem to be so fond of them, doncha?

Please stop that, Aurel, or I won't respond to your questions ever again.

Yes you have right about wrong position of LBID and i made mistake
but i really ...really ...don't get it why statusbar is not visible this time ( oxygen code).
and there is no joke...
it looks if status control is called from include file like awinh then
is visible
but if is created directly then nothing ?????
strange..

As i say i see your video and see that status is created but
when i run your exe then there is no statusBar and
i repeat this is not any kind of joke ...maybe is problem in Oxygen ..who knows?
And i repeat again...
if status bar is created from include file then work but directly after listbox not work

I am talking about skeleton.exe that's in the zip, not about my script that's in there too, or your script that you've just posted. Please double click on skeleton.exe. Does it show both the listbox and the statusbar? Does the listbox display its text lines?

Yes ...
i know i am not kid ...
listbox is here but there is no statusbar ...and it looks i figured why is not
i forget that in include file is:
Quote
As with all common controls, you must call InitCommonControls() BEFORE you try and use them. You will need to #include <commctrl.h> in order to use this function and to get the functions and declarations necessary for use of the Common Controls. You will also need to add comctl32.lib to your linker settings if it is not already there. Note that InitCommonControls() is an older API, and for more control you can use InitCommonControlsEx() (aka InitCommonControlSex()) which is also required for the most recent common controls. However since I'm not using any of the advanced features, InitCommonControls() is adequate and simpler.

sooo that why work from include and why not from my code
sorry man what kind of trouble for nothing ...
i will resolved this tomorow....
good night ....


PS ..this is the missing thing:

dim comctl32 = LoadLibrary "comctl32.dll"
oh what a mumbo jumbo

Please tell me tomorrow if the listbox in my skeleton.exe shows the "Some listbox strings added for your enjoyment" message in its lines for you.

Have a good rest, Aurel. :)
