Weird behaviour when switching to classes...

[efgee]

Hello Charles
here is an example how to use the GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo function.
Seems to work well using "normal" code but the values are weird as soon the code is switched to a class.

Here the working version:

Code: [Select]

#file "GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo.exe"
#console

; =======
; imports
; =======
dim as long kernel32 = LoadLibrary ("kernel32.dll")
bind kernel32 (
AllocConsole_    AllocConsole      : @0
FreeConsole_     FreeConsole       : @0
WriteConsole_    WriteConsoleA     : @5
ReadConsole_     ReadConsoleA      : @5
SetConsoleTitle_ SetConsoleTitleA  : @1
SetConsoleCursorPosition_   SetConsoleCursorPosition   : @2
GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo_ GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo : @2
GetStdHandle_    GetStdHandle      : @1
GetCommandLine_  GetCommandLineA   : @0
GetModuleHandle_ GetModuleHandleA  : @4
ExitProcess_     ExitProcess       : @4
)

; ========
; CONSTANTS

def STD_INPUT_HANDLE  -10
def STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE -11
def STD_ERROR_HANDLE  -12


; =========
; STRUCTURES
; =========
type COORD
x as SHORT
y as SHORT
end type

type SMALL_RECT
Left   as SHORT
Top    as SHORT

Bottom as SHORT
end type

type CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO
Size              as COORD
CursorPosition    as COORD
Attributes        as WORD
Window            as SMALL_RECT
MaximumWindowSize as COORD
end type

; ====
; MAIN
; ====
dim _ConsoleOut  as long
dim _ConsoleInfo as CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO
dim _BufferLength as long
dim _text as string
dim _Coordinate as COORD

&_ConsoleOut = GetStdHandle_(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE)

_text = "Hello"
_BufferLength = len(_text)
WriteConsole_(_ConsoleOut, *_text, _BufferLength, 0, 0)

_Coordinate.x = 8
_Coordinate.y = 9
SetConsoleCursorPosition_(_ConsoleOut, _Coordinate)

_text = "World"
_BufferLength = len(_text)
WriteConsole_(_ConsoleOut, *_text, _BufferLength, 0, 0)

GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo_(_ConsoleOut, &_ConsoleInfo)

print "X: " _ConsoleInfo.CursorPosition.x
print "Y: " _ConsoleInfo.CursorPosition.y
print "Max X: " _ConsoleInfo.MaximumWindowSize.x
print "Max Y: " _ConsoleInfo.MaximumWindowSize.y
print "Size X: " _ConsoleInfo.Size.x
print "Size Y: " _ConsoleInfo.Size.y
print "Window: " _ConsoleInfo.Window.left ":" _ConsoleInfo.Window.top "," _ConsoleInfo.Window.right ":" _ConsoleInfo.Window.bottom

This is the one acting weird (the actual test code is inside "WriteLine"):

Code: [Select]

#file "GetConsoleScreenBufferInfoClass.exe"
#console

Maybe I'm doing something wrong or something is messing up the structure sizes or structure members.

Thanks

Hi efgee,

Taking the properties out of the static part of the class and placing them into the object body section cures te problem.

To do this simply reposition the "/"  after the last method declaration.

Code: [Select]

class oCONSOLE alias "oCONSOLE"

method CmdLine() as string
method Position(x as short, y as short)
method Title(text as string)
method Write(text as string)
method WriteLine(text as string)
method ctor()
method dtor()
       /
private

_Buffer       as string
_BufferLength as long
_CommandLine  as string
_ConsoleIn    as long
_ConsoleOut   as long
_ConsoleError as long
_Coordinate   as COORD
_ConsoleInfo  as CONSOLE_SCREEN_BUFFER_INFO
end class

Oxygen should be able to cope with class static UDTs but there is an offset problem which causes the wrong static elements to be accessed and gave you those strange results. I will try to fix this today.

Thanks,

Charles

Hot off the press: Alpha014.

efgee, I've reworked your example here, removing leading and trailing underscores, which I use for a few o2 system labels. I also took out all the "this." as the compiler checks for implicit this. But you can still use these things if you need to.

structureof this is a very useful diagnostic, displaying the resolved class structure. All class structures are flattened out except where there are pointers to other classes. #recordof also displays similar information at compile-time.

Thank you Charles, will test it as soon as I can.

BTW: sorry to find all these bugs on my own; I know you "placed" them for "all" to find - not only for me   

Thanks again
efgee

[Charles Pegge]

Yes the bugs are placed for the benefit of all!

In the biological sciences, including entomology new species are often named after those who discover them
