Now that you mention it I downloaded WinFBE's source code and now have WinFBE_Suite and WinFBE-2.0.6 on the same drive. Looking at the _compile64bit.bat I figured that it might be interesting to use gcc 8.3 and '-s gui -arch 686 -gen gcc -Wc -O3' but I couldn't get the bat file to work - path not f...

Awesome, I'm happy to hear that the it's all working okay for you. If you need anything else to make interfacing with WinFBE then just let me know.

LOL, well, my fingers are crossed that the implementation plays nice with your tools. Please let me know if it all blows up :-)

Version 2.0.6 (February 22, 2020) - Added: Refresh method for the StatusBar Panel class so only a particular Panel is redrawn rather than the whole statusbar. - Added: The WinFBE.ini config file is automatically reloaded should an external tool or program modify it (prior to this change it was only ...

That looks like it should work. However, prior to reading your post I coded up a solution that polls the LastWriteTime of the config file and reloads it should that value has changed. This also allows me to remove the specific pre-compile reloading of the config file and makes for a better general p...

The change I made to WinFBE was to reload the ini file prior to a compile in order to take any changes into account that that your tool has written. If your tool makes changes but does not initiate a compile, then your version of the ini will get overwritten by WinFBE's internal version when WinFBE ...

Version 2.0.5 (February 19, 2020) - Fixed: Multiple Tab Controls on a form would result in code generation error. - Fixed: Regression: Forms with StatusBar would make ListBoxes and Labels not display their contents. - Fixed: If no valid Menu items exist then "Display on Form" checkbox in t...

Version 2.0.4 (February 18, 2020) - Added: UpDown control. - Changed: StatusBar Panels are now OwnerDraw which allowed for defining Fore/ForeHot/Back/BackHot Colors, on a per-Panel basis. - Changed: Use of StatusBar BorderStyle is now deprecated as it has no effect in WinFBE programs where Windows T...

For Windows programmers, make your life a hell of a lot easier by downloading Jose Roca's WinFBX library of functions from GitHub. It is 100% source code and includes just about everything you need to interface to the Windows api. Get WinFBX from: https://github.com/JoseRoca/WinFBX Support for WinFB...

I finally got WinFBE Suite downloaded and running yesterday. It worked well and I wrote a couple of short programs to play with it. Today whenever I compile I get an error wherever the cursor is sitting on screen (by line and column). It happens in a newly created file and in a file that I created ...

...and it would be nice to know if it is a specific EXE within the archive that is setting off your alarm.

I have run WinFBE on multiple computers using Windows Defender and/or McAfee anti-virus. Never detected any warnings for the WinFBE32.exe or WinFBE64.exe files. I have heard of some users getting false positives with the Avast anti-virus product.

Feel free to use a different editor or write one yourself should WinFBE not be suitable for your purposes.

Version 2.0.3 (January 14, 2020) - Added: ListView property OddRowColorEnabled (True/False). - Changed: ListView removed property "Sorting" until such time as sorting code is added to the control. In the meantime, use the SortByColumn method. - Fixed: ListView now draws significantly faste...

On December 17th, 2017, 3:47 pm: ... Dual file display is on my radar but I got caught up with the visual designer implementation ... Still on your radar? It's been 2 years. Version 1.5.7 (February 4, 2018) - Added: Dual pane split screen file editing. It is the same file but you can have two views...
