I swear I have the helpfile tabs open! Hangs head in shame.
I clearly am looking but not reading.
I was actually just looking for fill.

This should create a red background in the graphicbox, but it doesn't?

I mean colour is spelt wrong, but this should work?

Code: Select all

GRAPHICBOX #g.1, 1,1, 200, 200
OPEN "WINDOW" FOR WINDOW AS #g

#g.1, "BACKCOLOR RED"

END

Is there an online reference to 'undocumented' LB features? Of course, but it's a super secret club that only a few can join. It's just passed the rabbit hole on the left. But I would assume, like most things it was found or stumbled upon by accident and proliferated it's use via snippets and code ...

Completely agree, this is undocumented within LB. But is used quite frequently by its programmers. This is purely here to serve as reference point for anyone else getting caught out. As I said, not sure that this is an intended feature of LB or whether LB just allows it to happen. Often any "is...

Come across this little oddity. LB will draw a bmp at the location of the pen, LBB will not. Not sure if this is an intended feature for LB or not, but it caught me out so posting for anyone else. 'I work in LB only #1.gb,"UP ; GOTO 200 200; DOWN ; drawbmp name.bmp" 'I work in both LB and ...

Yes this is exactly what I'm looking for. Can't see the wood for trees!

I'm sure I read somewhere (but now cannot find) a way of running an LBB compiled exe and passing a string$ into it?

For instance

RUN "program.exe", String$

I see the helpfile states you can wait for execution to complete etc but cannot find about passing info in.

This caught me out earlier, While the LBB help does state the template determines which files are listed, in LB this works differently, so highlighting the issue so others don't have to spend time working this out. LBB Help; FILEDIALOG "Title", template$, returnvar$ Displays a file selecto...

Tasp

Took me a while to work this out, LB it will accept the DefaultDir as the main path, and any additional paths being added to the filter section LBB won't (ish). So thought I maybe able to save someone else sometime as I couldn't see any previous posts relating to it. It would appear that you need to...
