Worm HELP......LOL...plz =p

That my purebasic4 code im having a problem getting it to work though lol it works fine for bytes and kilobytes its the rest of it thats not working. any thoughts bro?

[TimeSurfer]

if even tried using double and quad rather then long and still no go. the **** thing works fine if call it from within itself im so lost.....

ProcedureDLL.s ConvertBytes(FSbytes.d)

    sTEXT = "Kilobytes"
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1024
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1048576 And FSbytes < 1073741824
    sTEXT = "Megabytes"
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1048576

i tried your fix worm yet im still having problems if the variable input is too large it wont work. like if i try to call the conversion for 1 gigabyte it doesnt display anything yet it seems to work for byte, kb , and mb ive heard this is due to the restriction of long but yet double as youve tried and quad ive tried and still nothing for gb or tb im so confused everything tells me this should work

[Worm]

Maybe pass it in as a string, then use ValD to convert it to a double.

ProcedureDLL.s ConvertBytes(BytesIn.s)
  FSbytes.d = ValD(BytesIn)
  sTEXT.s = ""
  If FSbytes < 1024
    sTEXT = "Bytes"
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1024 And FSbytes < 1048576
    sTEXT = "Kilobytes"
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1024
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1048576 And FSbytes < 1073741824
    sTEXT = "Megabytes"
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1048576
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1073741824 And FSbytes < 1099511627776
    sTEXT = "Gigabytes"
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1073741824
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1099511627776
    sTEXT = "Terabytes"
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1099511627776
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn StrD(FSbytes,2) + " " + sTEXT
EndProcedure

Your call would look similar to this

nVal = 1099511627776
sReturn = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Bytes.dll", "ConvertBytes", "\""..nVal.."\"", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)

[TimeSurfer]

ahh ok....I see thanks worm appreciate it

[TimeSurfer]

very wierd still doesnt work.

on page show code

nVal = 1099511627776
sReturn = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\Bytes.dll", "ConvertBytes", "\""..nVal.."\"", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL)
Label.SetText("Label1", sReturn);

when i run the app it makes the label go blank. very very wierd.
like i said though it seems to work for bytes,kilobytes, and megabytes. just not gigabytes or terabytes for some reason. [the dll only works for b,kb,mb if i change the procedure from double to long. otherwise i get same results as when i use double. it shows nothing]

[Worm]

Works for me... is your DLL names Bytes like mine was?

[TimeSurfer]

oops lol i feel like a complete idiot now. lol, i completely left out the convert long to double. thanks worm i appreciate the help.

[TimeSurfer]

hey worm this should work too right?

ProcedureDLL.s ConvertBytes(BytesIn.s,BytesDis.l)
  FSbytes.d = ValD(BytesIn)
  sTEXT.s = ""
  If FSbytes < 1024
    If BytesDis = 1
      sTEXT = "Bytes"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 2
      sTEXT = "b"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 3
      sTEXT = "B"
    EndIf
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1024 And FSbytes < 1048576
    If BytesDis = 1
      sTEXT = "Kilobytes"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 2
      sTEXT = "kb"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 3
      sTEXT = "KB"
    EndIf
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1024
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1048576 And FSbytes < 1073741824
    If BytesDis = 1
      sTEXT = "Megabytes"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 2
      sTEXT = "mb"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 3
      sTEXT = "MB"
    EndIf
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1048576
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1073741824 And FSbytes < 1099511627776
    If BytesDis = 1
      sTEXT = "Gigabytes"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 2
      sTEXT = "gb"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 3
      sTEXT = "GB"
    EndIf
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1073741824
  ElseIf FSbytes >= 1099511627776
    If BytesDis = 1
      sTEXT = "Terabytes"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 2
      sTEXT = "tb"
    ElseIf BytesDis = 3
      sTEXT = "TB"
    EndIf
    FSbytes = FSbytes / 1099511627776
  EndIf
  ProcedureReturn StrD(FSbytes,2) + " " + sTEXT
EndProcedure

im calling it like this

FSbytes = 1099511627776
FStype = 1
sReturn = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\bytes.dll", "ConvertBytes", "\""..FSbytes..","..FStype.."\"", DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);

did i screw it up?

[Worm]

You need to enclose the parameter you are passing as a string withing quotes, if its numeric, do not encose it.

FSbytes = 1099511627776
FStype = 1
sReturn = DLL.CallFunction("AutoPlay\\Docs\\bytes.dll", "ConvertBytes", "\""..FSbytes.."\","..FStype, DLL_RETURN_TYPE_STRING, DLL_CALL_STDCALL);

[TimeSurfer]

K i think i get it now. strings must be enclosed numerics arent. thanks again worm. I dont think Id know what to do without your help bro. Guess thats why they call you the WORMINATOR =p
