QuickBasic Cafe Forum

Hi. Sorry but I thought I'd stated QuickBasic or PowerBasic! I have QB4.5 which I use on some older Win98 laptops, and QB64 which I use on some newer ones, so it needs to be portable between either version. Either way I need to "listen" on a TCP/IP port for streaming data as a chip crosses an antenn...

Hi Mike

Thanks for the reply but you've totally lost me there! Can you explain where to find and how to ensure the programs you refer to can be found? Are you saying you need to start up only in dos and not in Windows with DOS window?

Cheers

Hi I need to write a short program which connects to and then listens for data which will be streamed on a tcp/ip port. The port will be either port 10000 or 10200 on a locally networked computer (lets's say 192.168.1.199) Does anyone have any experience of setting this sort of program up assuming i...

cheers - I'm still stuck in the days of Win98 foir my laptop selection!

I've found that Valerie's PLAY instructions gives a pretty quiet click which is ok with a silent keyboard but not my clacky old thing here at home - the keys make more noise!! By experimentation, I've settled on SOUND 950, .2 as being just about right for my particular requirement in a potentially s...

Thanks Valerie

Much appreciated.

I have another solution I thought of last night so I'll try them both!

Regards

Does anyone have a code snippet which would generate a click sound each time a key is pressed when typing a string of characters?

I can make a beep when I press "Enter" or but I'd like to be able to hear a click each time a key is pressed as a string is built up as well.

Is that possible?

Cheers!

Just good manners that's all! Obliged for any assistance.

best wishes

Thanks Valerie. Should be ok for me as I use Win98 and QB4.5.

Testing the compiled version should be simple enough in that environment.

Of course, as XP has "no dos" background this may not work in that OS but all I can do is give it a go!

I'm very grateful for your help

How do I do that? Sounds simple but it's one of those things you either know how to do or not!

Hi Is there a way to ensure that the num lock key effectively stays on throughout a program, even if accidentally pressed? Sort of along the lines of "If num lock turned off, num lock turned on again". I have a small program which records a sequence of numbers, some of which may have to be typed qui...

Hi Have you tried checking your printer settings? I had a similar problem and found that by changing the settings a little this sorted it. The setting I changed was in the spool settings on the "details" tab to make sure that "spool msdos print jobs" was not selected. The other thing to try (possibl...

well yes, there's html code - that's because the example is taken from a part of a program where I write a page of plain text with embedded html codes where double quotes are needed - once a file is open (file number 4) the text is printed to it and the double quotes then show up. No need to be a sm...

just a thought but why such a big array? Why not use a random access file for each big array on your hard disk - a tiny bit slower I know but it might help you to get round all those memory problems.
