Does anyone have a routine to get the current UTC (Greenwich Mean Time, Zulu Time)? I couldn't find anything with a search in the old or new forums. MSDN says to use GetSystemTime : " Retrieves the current system date and time in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) format ". Google finds thi...

How to bring external application window on top? In 'modern' versions of Windows (since Windows 2000!) Microsoft has restricted this capability, because it could be abused. Specifically SetForegroundWindow() and BringWindowToTop() only work in certain conditions . If those conditions are met I thin...

You didn't respond to my reply here.

I offered to help with the testing. Have you had any further thought on the matter? I saw no such offer, and received no email notification. Perhaps the admin of the BBC BASIC forum thought it was inappropriate, I noticed that a couple of other recent posts about LBB disappeared before I had a chan...

Still, replstr$() doesn't accept to replace a character by "nothing". It seems to work for me. I tried this program: print chr$(34); replstr$("Hello world!", "o", ""); chr$(34) 'include lb45func.bas And it produced the output "Hell wrld!" which is c...

i get a function not exsist error why ? It's because you call sub sphere with parameters: call sphere 20,0,10 , 30 , rgb(255,0,0) call sphere 0,0,0 , 30 , rgb(0,255,0) but you define it with no parameters: sub sphere if stel >= 100 then exit sub s(stel,s.x)=x s(stel,s.y)=y s(stel,s.z)=z s(stel,s.d)...

Does this Liberty BASIC solution (easily found in a Google search) work?

Code: Select all

texteditor #w.te, 10, 10, 280, 280
stylebits #w.te, 0, _ES_AUTOHSCROLL or _WS_HSCROLL, 0, 0
open "Wordwrap test" for window as #w
wait

This is an LBB extension, it doesn't work in LB4.
