Requesting state for an invalid GLUT state name returns negative one...
So, we start with a -1 and wait until GLUT has initialized our window
and registered it with the OS all properly, and then use the proper
return value to move the window to the middle of the screen.
change so that the windowhandle will return a 64-bit value for QB64x64
versions, while returning a 32-bit value for QB64. This allows for
upgrade to 64-bit to be as simple as just swapping compilers and then
rebuilding QB64 with the setup script.
- Allows using _DROPPEDFILE as an array ranging from 1 TO _TOTALDROPPEDFILES.
- Using _DROPPEDFILE as an array doesn't reset _TOTALDROPPEDFILES (unlike when reading _DROPPEDFILE$ sequentially with no parameter), so it's necessary to call _FINISHDROP after working with the list of dropped files so it'll be reset.
New statement:
_ACCEPTFILEDROP [{ON|OFF}]
Enables a program to accept files being dropped from a folder.
New functions:
_TOTALDROPPEDFILES
Returns the number of files that have been received via drag/drop.
_DROPPEDFILE$
Returns the list of files that have been dropped. The function sequentially returns the file list and decreases _TOTALDROPPEDFILES with every read.
The statement works as INSTR does but starts from the end of the passed string (or from the specified position) and looks for the passed substring while moving backards.

Existing syntax:
colour~& = _RGB32(red, green, blue)
New possible uses:
- Instead of passing identical rgb values to achieve a shade of gray, pass only 1 parameter for all color components:
colour~& = _RGB32(51) 'same as _RGB32(51, 51, 51)
- _RGB32 can now take an optional alpha parameter, which makes _RGBA32 obsolete (although it still exists for retrocompatibility):
colour~& = _RGB32(255, 0, 255, 30) 'same as _RGBA32(255, 0, 255, 30)
- If you want a shade of gray and also to specify the alpha level, you can pass just two parameters:
colour~& = _RGB32(51, 30) 'same as _RGBA32(51, 51, 51, 30)
In summary:
- 1 parameter = red, green and blue simultaneously set.
- 2 parameters = red, green and blue simultaneously set plus alpha level.
- 3 parameters = red, green and blue as usual.
- 4 parameters = red, green and blue plus alpha level (same as _RGBA32).
Syntax:
_ALLOWFULLSCREEN [{_STRETCH|_SQUAREPIXELS|_OFF|_ALL}][,{_SMOOTH|_OFF|_ALL}]
Existing _FULLSCREEN statement is not bound by _ALLOWFULLSCREEN's settings, only the ALT+ENTER key combo.
_ECHO is more of a macro than a new statement, as it'll perform the following actions:
1- Save current _DEST;
2- Switch to _CONSOLE;
3- Print the passed string (only strings accepted);
4- Switch back to previous _DEST.
None of the PRINT features such as USING, numeric variables, retaining the cursor are implemented/planned for this statement.
Closes#29
- _WINDOWHANDLE exposes the current window's handle (Windows-only).
- _WINDOWHASFOCUS returns true (-1) when the program is the foremost window (Windows-only). Always returns -1 in other OSes.
- _TITLE$ (function) returns the last title set using the _TITLE statement.
Change so that modifer keypresses will only register when the window has
focus in Windows. This corrects the issue with SLEEP, KEYHIT, and
INP(&H60) registering SHIFT, CTRL, and ALT keypresses even when the
program is not in focus or is running as a background app.
Also changed _SCREENEXISTS (and a few other window user commands) so
that they require windows to have actually registered a windows handle
for the function to return -1, and not just for glut to have finished
initializing the screen itself.
- When mode = 256, _LOADIMAGE will return an 8bit image with the loaded file's colors matching the default palette.
- Slower for bigger images, because of the call to matchcol();
- Fetch an image from the clipboard with handle& = _CLIPBOARDIMAGE
- If there isn't an image in the clipboard, handle& will be -1.
- Copy a valid image to the clipboard (All screen modes, except 0) with _CLIPBOARDIMAGE = handle&
Change to mem.TYPE from LONG variable type to OFFSET. This prevents
4-bytes padding from throwing off values for mem.ELEMENTSIZE and
mem.IMAGE on 64-bit systems.
Patch should work on Mac, Linux, and Windows; both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions, giving the correct results for mem.ELEMENTSIZE and mem.IMAGE
from now on.
Also:
- Revamp _ICON so it'll use the embed icon if it's called without parameters. The default QB64 icon is still used otherwise.
- Fix "Creating .EXE..." being printed in the wrong coordinates (IDE)
- Fix the new error message (when Debug is <> 0) so it'll show properly when compiling with -x.
