Ralph Berger's code does not compile

[Egbert Zijlema]

Hello Ralph,

I downloaded your rebar-code (rebar.zip) from the PB download section. I don't get it "talking", however. Error is "duplicate name definition: WNDCLASS".

[Jules Marchildon]

change to wcx.
add Byval where needed
add %RB_INSERTBANDA = %WM_USER +1 , or change to %RB_INSTERTBAND
compile rebar4.bas (I made mistake and compiled rebar.bas)

another demo.. http://www.powerbasic.com/support/fo...ML/000442.html

Well, don't get it working, for now. Will try later.

Your "another demo" is in the old forums, so I cannot download it. Do you know its location in the new forums?

Try using Adam Drake's "clipboard listener" application at:

I think that will work on old forum pages, let me try it right now...no, it doesn't work with the old forum pages. BUt it is really nice with new forums).

But Select all, paste into WordPad seems to work just ducky .(Using IE6)

A quick search for "Rebar Demo" ... new link

I just sent in a new a new feature suggestion...

"When the compiler detects a duplicate symbol name [eg in this case 'wndclass'], the error message should show, "symbol <symbol name> previously defined in file xxxxxx at line nnnnnn.""

Given that at least 99 times out of 100 a duplicated name is in an #INCLUDEd file, that would sure make it a heck of lot easier to find and rectify these problems.
