Hello group
thank you for accepting me.
I would like to know a starting place for a sixty seven old man.
any help will be a big help.
I hope to here from you soon and thankyou.
hmatlock9978@...
Mr. Matlock, There are several tutorials around Bill Lopez is the best there
is.  Many have helped me and no nasty comments in return. JohnF in UK is also
tops. Dave Speck has helped. Many have offered helped me. Have you had any
programming at all?
God Bless you. Kurt - Bethlehem PA

Welcome to the group.
Liberty BASIC ships with a tutorial, which you can access from the help menu of
the editor.
This is usually a good starting point for anyone starting to use LB.
If the menu entry does not seem to launch the tutorial follow the instructions
below.
For 32-bit Windows:
1) Select "File => Open"
2) Enter "%ProgramFiles%" as the file name and hit open
3) Open the "Liberty BASIC v4.04" folder
4) Open the file "lb4tutorial.lsn"
For 64-bit Windows the steps are the same except you enter "%ProgramFiles(x86)%"
in step 2).
If you have installed LB into a folder different from the default location, you
need to browse there.

Hello!
I have purchased the DLP-IO20 DAQ and wants to use it for heating control in my
sunpower enviroment.
I wonder if annyone using LB has any experiance of 'talking/listening' to the
unit.
I have made efforts to send commands but i get no response.
The DLP-IO20 is working fine using the testprogram from audon.co.uk.
Aprishiate any help and tips.
Dag Levinsson
Have you established a serial connection?, I read this in the manual.
"Note: If you are utilizing the dual-mode drivers from FTDI (CDM2.x.x) and you
want to use the Virtual
COM Port (VCP) drivers, then it may be necessary to disable the D2XX drivers
first via Device Manager.
To do so, right click on the entry under USB Controllers that appears when the
DLP-IO20 is connected,
select Properties, select the Advanced tab, put a check in the option for "Load
VCP" and click OK. Then
unplug and replug the DLP-IO20, and a COM port should appear in Device Manager
under Ports (COM
& LPT)."

I prefer the following use of the EOF() function, since it resembles the
sentence: "While not at the end-of-file of ...".
In addition I prefer to close the file opened last as the first one, like first
in, last out.

I need to find the current cursor position so that I can continue from that
point after writing information to a specific spot on the screen. In QuickBasic
I would use CSRLIN and POS(0) to find the position.
Thanks Bruce

Sorry, there is nothing similar in LB, since the mainwin is not a real console
window.

The OP did not tell us where he likes to receive the cursor position, but from
the commands mentioned I assumed it is the mainwin.
Sure the graphics control has all the commands to get the information.

The mainwin would be the place, I guess. How do I use the command and where can
I find more information about it?

There is no possibility in the mainwin to retrieve the cursor position.
You would have to track the position on your own.
Sorry, but the command mentioned can only be used in a graphics control or
window.

If you have a static layout of your mainwin screen, then you just need LOCATE.

I don't think you should have to stop anyone from clicking. Instead, set some
kind of variable as "true" when it is okay to click, and "false" as soon as
clicking should no longer be valid. Once the variable is "false", just don't
run the code in the click routine any more.

I'm a newcomer, so pls be patient.
I need to know if there's any way I can string a number of boolean
comparisons together without running a long, long line. Like
if (a>b)and(b>c)and(d>f)...etc. In other words is there something I can put at
the end of a line to indicate there's more to come?
Thanks!
jimpitt98
Jim,
LB lines can be concatenated with the underscore "_" character, i. e.
if (a>b) and _
(b>c) and _
(d>f)...
This is often done with the long string of arguments to .DLL calls to
make them easier to comprehend.

jimpitt98,
Welcome to Liberty BASIC!!
You can use the line continuation character (_ aka. underscore). Is that
what you are looking for?
If (a>b)and _
(b>c)and _
(d>f) Then
'Do Something

Don't know how you display your end message, but using a notice box is not the
way I would go.
If you write it directly into the graphics area, you can use STRINGWIDTH to know
the length of the text on screen.
Now that you know the area occupied by the text through its width and height,
you can calculate the best position by calculating a
virtual rectangle with the lower right hand corner at the treasure points.
For each of those rectangles you check, if the top left hand corner is still in
the graphics area and that there is no treasure
point position inside of it.
Another way would be making a sprite and let it float around.
The sprite is easy to create on the fly, since it is just text, black on white
for the mask and white or any other color on black
for the display.

I am looking for VERY simple examples of Liberty Basic Sprites.
