Undocumented commands
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Beginners Area/Undocumented commands

| Having just upgraded to BlitzPlus, I've discovered a few commands in the Versions.txt that comes with Blitz, but that aren't mentioned in the Help. I've got some of them of this site, but there are a couple that I can't find. I wondered if anyone knew anything about them. GadgetText QueryObject TextAreaText - what format is text returned in? - the two links for this command on this site seem to be broken. FontDescend - doesn't exist - probably won't use it - but is mentioned in the versions text that comes with Blitz - probably meant to be the opposite of FontAscend - but isn't highlighted as a command in the IDE. Thanks |

| GadgetText: to get the text associated with a gadget, like a label gadget TextAreaText to retrieve the contents of a textarea gadget both return strings |
| ||
| Thanks, I should have experimented with TextAreaText - I guess that means it only returns the last text after a chr$(13) Chr$(10) - and not the entire text. |
| ||
| Should be all the text AFAIR. QueryObject is to get the hwnd etc of a gadget: http://www.blitzbasic.com/bpdocs/command.php?name=queryobject&ref=goto |
| ||
| There is Object/Handle as well for creating generic handles to type objects, and retrieving the object again from the handle. |
| ||
| The problem with the manual is however that it lacks to explain what a hwnd is, what it is used for, examples etc. All it does now is explain its name and syntax, but as nothing else is explained I figure it equals the magical CreateGame() function. |
| ||
| Thanks - I only get to read this site every 2-3 days which is why I'm a bit behind. I've used hwnd in another piece of code I dowloaded to put an icon in the prog window - but don't really know what it is. |

| You ought to update your doc pak for starters |
| ||
| I'm not sure what you mean - I downloaded v1.44 of the exe - where do I find an updated doc pak? Thanks |
