Two questions, if I may:
1) Using Firefly, I get a compile message about outdated CommCtrl.INC, but the one I have is the most recent from Powerbasic.com. It says the file I have is dated "--)"
2) I just updated my profile on this site, and now I find I am suddenly being presented the entire site in German, which is fine except that I don't speak German at all, so I can't figure out how to fix this...?
Hi Steve,
The CommCtrl.inc problem is more than likely the result of an incorrect path being set up in the Compiler Setup. Make sure that your "Include Path" path points to the PowerBASIC WinAPI folder. Look at the attached screenshot for my settings.
I will check into the German thing.... that's the first I ever heard of something like that.

Sure enough, your profile had "German" selected as the preferred language. I switched it back to English.
Thanks - not sure how I got German, but it's nice to be able to read this board again.
My Include path contains several folders separated by ";", and the correct one for the Win32API files is present but is not the first one of the three folders - it is the second. The code does compile after I get the message, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong...
The exact INCLUDE folder string (if this helps any) is:
C:\PB\COMMON\INCLUDE;C:\PB\COMMON\Win32API;C:\PB\PBWIN80\CODE\INC
P.S. - Never mind - sorry to bother you - it appears that the C:\PB\COMMON\Win32API folder must be the FIRST one in this INCLUDE string and then it works just fine!
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the update. I uploaded a change to the engine to bypass the date check just in case this problem affects you again in the future.
