(not rated) | Have you ever wanted to use the Windows key in your program?
This SUB reads a key from the PS/2 port, and puts the scancode(NOT ASCII) in scancode%. Windows key=91.
You may also see some wierd numbers when useing a PS/2 mouse, because the machine treats both PS/2 ports as the same port. I suppose you could use this method to make a mouse program that works without a driver.
This program works on DOS and Windows, however, Windows intercepts the Windows key, therefore, you cannot use it when running Windows. |

22 Jan 2010
(not rated) | A fast SCREEN 13 bitmap loader that uses InterruptX. Included code shows how to Open, Read and Close Binary or Random files. The Open procedure returns a DOS file handle if a filename is found. The handle is then used in the rest of the program. Uses QB4.5 with the Library loaded: QB.EXE /L
Does not create mistyped filenames or QB errors! 8 BPP(256 color) palettes only!
Great for loading 320 X 200 fullscreen bitmaps! |

29 Apr 2009
with 1 vote | Create your own FILES list that does not scroll too fast to read! This routine uses a DIR SHELL to pipe BAS filenames to a file. Then it converts the name data to a Screen 12 format that can display 156 files per page.
You can change the SHELL statement to find any or all kinds of files. Each time the program is run, you get an updated list of files. Use Notepad to read the .DIR files. I may add a mouse click option to open a file by sending the filenames to a string array. You CAN use the filenames in ANY procedure! |

23 Mar 2009
(not rated) | Text and graphic program that creates a fake Qbasic IDE in Screen 12. SUB programs can be used to create graphical text foreground overlays without the black PRINT background! You can even display black text.
TextSave places the 16 row byte settings as ASCII characters to the S string array. Can be set up to return ASCII codes 1 to 255! Only a few control characters (below 32) will not display! Only needs to be run once at start of program.
SetText converts the normal text row and column settings to graphics and places the appropriate pixels with PSET. The text value is any string or character that you might normally print. You could make your own SUB to use any graphic coordinates if you need to. |

(not rated) | Creates Screenshot Bitmaps of QB Screens 9, 12, or 13. Use the FourBit or EightBit SUB's in any program to get a screenshot. FourBit fullscreen takes about 8 seconds, but EightBit is only about one second. You can use the FourBit for 9, 12 or 13 (16 colors) bitmap images. EightBit is Screen 13 (256 colors) only. Includes Demo code in module.

(not rated) | This is an Interrupt routine that directly replaces an Absolute Mouse using a NEW MouseDriver SUB. Works with QuickBasic 4 up and requires that the Library is Loaded (QB.EXE /L)
Add EX to the SUB parameters if you have a lot of old Absolute calls from the original MouseDriver SUB (AX, BX, CX, DX, LB, RB, EX). It won't use it however.
Has full explanation of all the MouseDriver calls |

13 Sep 2007
(not rated) | This program adds an Absolute mouse routine to an existing BAS file or one it creates. I advise creating your new BAS file with this and then add your code or you will need to edit it! Qbasic will set the SUB when it is opened. USE the LIBRARY to run the program in QB4 or above! QBasic does not need a library.
There is also a batch file to run QB4.5 with the library in XP or Win 9x. Edit out the wrong OS with REM. There is a display at the top for button locations and other mouse functions.
Uses PRINT # to write the BAS file and will work in any QB version. |

You can also try to sketch a drawing in them with the left mouse button down!

It's ok, because the answer is here, in source code. Just download this zip, and run the BAS file in any Qbasic IDE.

(not rated) | This is a compiled program that satisfies Burger2227's programming challenge. See:
http://qbasicstation.com/index.php?c=f_forum&messageid=1750
for more info.
The source is NOT included because the challenge is not yet over. Once it is, I will provide the algorithm. Until then, you can run the EXE's.
As an added bonus, I included another EXE that uses the same algorithm but involves symbols instead of numbers!
All of this works in text mode. |

It is by no means very efficient, but when this is a program for school, it is good enough. |
