InForm-PE

And as last post here a demo of the 21 game in which you must get 21 towards the Ai of the program.
21 game Inform PE

How to you retrieve textbox text from a textbox.  I haven't been able to find any information on that subject.

Thank you very much sir for you information.  It helped me finish some utility programs for Arch Linux.

you're welcome.

I think that it is the place where to post this issue that I found while I was compiling a mine Inform-Pe Project.

I dunno if this is only for Inform_pe (but I think no) or for a kind of projects with *.BI files...but activating  the compiler settings of optimization of code the *.BI has been deleted from the Inform folder!
I haven't been able to replicate the experience using a Dummy.BI file included by $include:'dummy.bi' in dummy.bas 
here Dummy.BI

Code: (Select All)

'Hi this is a dummy.BI file

Color 12, 1

here the Dummy.BAS

Code: (Select All)

'$Include:'Dummy.BI'

Print "I'm not white on black!"

here screenshots of my experience with an Inform project:
before


after


Who can replicate my experience?

IIs it possible???? Going to work on that Inform_pe Project the *.BI are again deleted!
So I have restored them and then with a window open looking at Inform folder and QB64pe IDE with Dummy.BAS loaded into it, when resetting the Option... Compiler settings...Compile program with C++optimization flag, the *.BI file in the Inform folder have been deleted again!
Where is the issue?

@TempodiBasic I attempted to replicate the issue but was unable to do so.

Sounds like an antivirus issue or windows security deleting the file.  Be certain to whitelist the folder, or disable antivirus for testing and see if the issue persists at all.

Done but nothing new under the sun. 
The issue stands there.


what adventure trying to finish the program using Inform-pe!
So many little obstacles! And the antivirus say me I'm tracked by 61 cookies!
Avast scare me just a bit!

Since it's Win11, you might want to check Microsoft Defender and ignore all your QB folders if you have not already done so. Also the same for any AV soft you run?

Hi grymmjack
thanks to confirm the Steve's suggestion, but it is a mistery:
1: the issue about *.BI of Inform-pe file deleted has been seen after I made some code to show how this option increases the speed of execution.
2: the demo doesn't use the library Inform-pe
3: after this demo I have made two application using Inform-pe with no issue during developing and debugging
4: when I tried to make a more clear example for Option Compiler Settings: Compile program with C++ optimization flag I got the issue
5: to see if it was related only to Inform or not I have build a dummy program with a dummy.BI...and also I load it in QB64pe IDE and then I set ON that Option I got that the *.BI files has been deleted! So also if "Inform\*.BI" are not in the code and are not used to make source to compiled as I click ON (and also if I click OFF ) that option of QB64pe IDE I see that those files has been canceled! I needn't to compile, it is yet all done.
6: if I rename the Inform folder, it is all ok, no files deleted!
7: the Dummy.BI file has never been deleted

Somewhere in QB64pe Ide there is track of the path of those "Inform\*.BI " files...and changing that Option will trigger, probably, the action of Windows Defender and/or Avast or someother securityware that Windows11 has in it!
I must stress that I have canceled all exceptions in both security programs and then I have set again the folders in which there are QB64pe40, QB64pe41 and Inform.
Moreover I have set as allowed app also the compiler gcc.exe in the qb64pe41\internal\bin\.
That's all folks

Well now it is solved!
The issue was between QB64pe IDE that create a MakeNNN.bat and the securityware of windows11 that put in quarantine it!
This has happened also if folders are in the exceptions of Avast antivirus and of Windows Defender!
I fix this because as last attempt I have deleted all Temp folder in the "qb64pe41\Internal" and now that saved anywhere information has been canceled and Securityware asked me if put in quarantine or let to run MakeNNN.BAT.

Thanks to @gymmjack for the raw.githack.com tip.

I played around with InForm-pe a few months ago. The program works, but what do the messages say when I start the program and when I close it?

And one more question: I'm still using version 3.1.5.3. Is it worth reinstalling with 3.1.5.4?
