Books for Basic?

[niksha]

Are there any books or sites which can help with the basic learning for.. basic used in GLB?

The in-game help isn't working well in the demo btw, pressing F1 opens up the help file instead of showing the help on the command selected (at least for me).

Thanks.

Ff move the cursor to the command and press F1, then the help index is shown.
If the right command is selected then just press enter.

Try pressing F1 twice, something I've always done...

Nope, still shows up "The page cannot be displayed" (no page) in the help file. I still have to manually go through the commands.

Anyways, it's not much of a problem since I can still select them manually.

It does that for me, but it has the commands down the side and the one I pressed F1 on is selected so I just click it and it comes up.  But I can also click on search, index etc to move around and it works as normal once you're past that, for me at least.

If you want to get started with GLB, take a look at Peejays tutorials (links on this site and in the forums).

I do F1, then "Enter". Works for me. I don't know of a safe way to display that page, sorry.

Ah nevermind. I thought pressing F1 automatically showed the required page so I wasn't paying attention to the left column and 'enter' press part. It works fine now, my bad.

It would be interesting to see what link into the CHM file, together with bookmark, GLBasic IDE is producing...?

I don't quite understand...

The link for SMOOTHSHADING on my setup should be something like...

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

mk:@MSITStore:C:\Program%20Files\GLBasic\GLBasic_e.chm::/2%20Command%20Reference%20A-Z/SMOOTHSHADING.html

I don't know how that's related to my F1 problem. There's an API for the html-help. But I don't know how to jump to a certain page.
