sdk skeleton for PureBasic

[Mike Mayerhoffer]

I purchased it for its price 89 dollar at todays rates. Free upgrades for life [roll eyes] Anyhow this compiles 32/64bit write once.
PureBasic targets 3 platforms as a write once solution. So a pure sdk layout was questionable.

This what I cooked up and some notes.  So use with caution , I will scrutinize it when I
have more time. My biggest concern is how the default variables work out in the long run.


Enjoy !

Code Select Expand



EnableExplicit ; aka Dim all, it is a must use

; =' comment
;. = \ in 'type or structer ' in Pure usage point.y = point\y
;no foward reference single pass compiler - reason stated
; sub and function = Procedure
; funtion aka Procedure return is defined by ProcedureReturn value
; local name as string = protected.s name  b = byte ...
;use api by adding underscore to api name e.g SendMessage_ no includes needed
;api defines has # sign prefix e.g #WM_CLOSE
; like in c OR = '|'  e.g #CS_HREDRAW | #CS_VREDRAW
; pointer is defined and used by *pointer, *who , *whatever = address of variable pointer
;a pointer is just an address to a vairable of any type long, string and so on...
; gadets = ddt stuff and it covers alot of items from buttons to MDI and even a web browser
; built in gui maker
; appears the gadet concept is write once, use on 64,32 MAC linux

A lot of work (unless you MUST use the WinAPI) 

Here's the same effect with 33 lines of code:

Code Select Expand

; Netmaestro March 2011
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 640, 480, "", #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu)
ImageGadget(0,0,0,0,0,0)
DisableGadget(0,1)

Procedure Paint(Window)
  CreateImage(0,WindowWidth(window), WindowHeight(window))
 
  StartDrawing(ImageOutput(0))
    DrawingMode(#PB_2DDrawing_Gradient)     
    BackColor($000000)
    FrontColor($0000FF)
    LinearGradient(0, WindowHeight(window)/2, WindowWidth(window), WindowHeight(window)/2)
    Box(0,0,WindowWidth(window), WindowHeight(window))
  StopDrawing()
  SetGadgetState(0,ImageID(0))
EndProcedure

Paint(0)


Repeat
  Select WaitWindowEvent()
    Case #PB_Event_Repaint
      Flag = 1
    Case #PB_Event_SizeWindow
      If Flag
        Paint(EventWindow())
      EndIf
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      Break
  EndSelect

If you really want to work with the SDK...

Here's a ZIP file of all the examples using the famous book/bible from Charles Petzold. (5th edition)

* in PureBasic of course

Thanks...is a great contribution.  May be other great programmers from PowerBasic forum have an interest in PureBasic.

Although I do not use the Windows API, I think for me it is sufficient to use
statements included in the compiler ... that are the same for OSX, Linux and Windows. I think for me PureBASIC it is the best compiler
after PowerBASIC. PureBasic has many advantages besides that ... can also be programmed in using the Web to SpiderBASIC very close
to PureBasic code.
