The Hexeditor project

[mnrvovrfc]

I really wanted to compile this program to see if I could get the kewl pixel-art in the screenshot just above. But I have to do it on Windows.

In another time, I would take some time to fix this so it works on Linux.

What I did specifically was to go into "HEXEDIT.BAS" and make sure all filenames it requests are in uppercase because all filenames included in the ZIP have uppercase filenames. Then the compilation failed trying to look for "comdlg32.dll" inside one of the include files. This seems to go much further than the save and open file dialogs from Windows. Curiously in 32-bit this presented program looks for the window for "SICK64", as part of logic for "FindWindow()".

Just to let others know that I get interested in stuff available on the forum and check it out, but it's kind of hard if I need to go into Windows to compile it, and otherwise depend on a finished executable from someone else to see if it runs under Wine. :/

You are correct. It seems I borrowed dialog.inc from Sick and failed to update it to Hexedit..

You could force comdlg32.dll to uppercase but it doesn't seem to matter in Windows.

The ansi ship screen is not a graphics image -- it is a text color/print character function which can be found in Sub AnsiScreen..

It exists because it is the only older ansi function I could find.

Ok. I don't know how to interpret compiler errors well enough to understand the source of the error, but maybe

dialogx.inc is not present, or, the declare should be:

Code: (Select All)

Declare Library
    Function CreateFileA& (filename$, Byval access&, Byval sharing&, Byval sec_attr%&, Byval create&, Byval flags&, Byval template%&)
End Declare

could be changed. If this is not the case, I will remove the project until I can figure it out.

On my computer it works quite well.

Just to confirm this is intended for 64 bit and not DOS.?

Yes, this strictly a QB64-32 project.

Um, try renaming CreateFile( in WriteConfig to CreateFileA(

uh QB64-32? What is you exact version of QB64pe?

Here is mine:
