Maintain
CB states.rft
(9kb) |
A
short demo and article that explains how to cause a LB GUI to maintain checkbox states in
an options window between displays of the window. It is in richtext format.
The demo can be cut from the article and pasted into your LB editor to run. |
IsFile32.zip
(7kb) |
Is
file is a simple DLL that allows the LB programmer to determine whether a specific file
exists in a specific location with a very simple DLL call. Less complex than the
native FILES statement, and it handles long file names and paths that contain spaces.
The zip file includes a short LB demo program and a brief rtf file explaining the
operation of the DLL. |
Directory
Tree
(5kb) |
Directory
Tree is a small program that includes a function that will "walk" a directory
tree and catalog all the directories and files at all levels up and down that tree.
It uses a recursive call to itself to accomplish this task. It is fairly interesting
programming for anyone who has ever wondered about recursion. |
Working With Comboboxes
(4kb) |
Working
with Comboboxes is a demo and short write-up covering the fundamentals of using a
combobox. The demo allows the user to add items to the combobox on the fly as well
as resetting the combobox to a blank condition. This supplements the ThingyII
download below. |
Paths and
Filenames
(3kb) |
Paths and Filenames is a short tutorial and
demo from a recent LBNews Tips Corner showing how to separate a filename and a path from
the value returned by the FileDialog command. It includes two reusable functions
which I am grateful to Alyce Watson for her generosity in allowing me to include. |
LBNR-2
(1398kb) |
This is the complete installable (includes
source code and LB3 runtimes) version of the Liberty Basic News Reader, which would be
created following the instructions in the article "Road To Release" (see
the Premier Articles section of the site). The LBNR-2
program is basically unchanged from the LBNR version found in the article below. |
Liberty Basic News
Reader
(6kb) |
The LBNR is really an article and demo
program I wrote for the LBNews Letter (issue 97). It demonstrates the dynamic
loading of a textbox from a text file with just a couple commands. |
Centering
Windows
(4kb) |
An article from one of the LBNews letters I
edited which explains several methods of centering windows. Example code is imbedded
in the article. |
Merrel the
Great
(223kb) |
A QCard demo program that is also a cute
little magic trick. Yes that is right, Merrel the Great can determine which card you
have selected from a group laid out before you. You got to try it out to believe it. |
Hocus Focus
(8kb) |
Hocus Focus is another demo program /
article I wrote for the newsletter (Issue 98) and it demonstrates how to determine when a
window or control gains and looses focus. It uses the windows API call GetFocus. |
ProgressBar
(2kb) |
ProgressBar is a owner drawn progress bad
that uses a graphics box that is filled progressively to simulate a progress bar. |
ThingyII
(4kb) |
An example of how to use comboboxes in LB3.
Simulates a build list window. Includes comments. |
PlayMPEG32.DLL
- A DLL for playing MPEG audio files (MP3 files), it was designed with Liberty Basic users in mind. It allows continuous
playback of an MP3 song file simply by issuing a single DLL call. No other
intervention is required to keep the MP3 song looping. It plays in the system's
background as a threaded process. Download the DLL, an example and the
documentation:
