Hello,

I made a "Keystate-Finder" with a tutorial on YouTube.
The script:


And when i execute this i get a bigger screen, i think 640x480
with the text on the left top side. I want to make the screen
width and heigth: 196x128, but i don't know how. And after this
how can i make my script just a .exe file so that everyone that doesn't have DarkBasic can execute it?

I hope this information was enough to get helped.

Kind regards,
I. C.

Running it makes it an Exe file. If you have a project file saved, it'll be created there, if you don't then it'll be in the temp folder.

Yes, and yes use the set screen reseluton(hight,width) command (resultion is speld wrong I pretty shure)
then to make exe just run it or compile it go to your dbpro folder click on projects, fiind your project folder there should be a. Exe called applaction.exe teres your app rename it if u like

You can set the opening windows resolution to pretty much anything. The resolutions you can choose within the IDE is pretty much a pre-chosen and artificially restricted set, but you don't have to stick with them.

Open up your .dbpro file using notepad (or any text editor really), locate the line starting 'window resolution=', and change the numbers to match your requirement.

Open up your project using the standard IDE and you'll see that it has your resolution showing - don't select the dropdown box as you'll then need to edit the .dbpro file again to reset it. Just compile your program at this point and it'll have your selected window size.

Why do you need to do that?

Depending on what the original poster needs, the following seems to work directly from the IDE:



The Screen settings in the Properties tab of the editor are:

Screen Type: fulldesktop
Window Resolution: 640x480
Fullscreen resolution: 1680x1050x32.

Perhaps I've missed something?

I don't think you can. I believe they need to have suitable versions of DirectX installed even if the program isn't doing any 3D stuff (unless you can exclude parts from the compilation process somehow ).

Maybe. The window is created with the initial size specified by the IDE, then is resized to the size specified in code - depending on timing, you can see the window resize from larger to smaller.

If you hack the size into the .dbpro file, the initial window is the correct size in the first place.

If it's that instantaneous is there any need to edit the .dbpro file? I still think I'm missing the point here.

The point is that it isn't instantaneous.

On a wizzy machine with nothing running, it may seem that way, but on a not-so-wizzy system you can see the initial window before it resizes.
