VisualFBEditor - IDE for FreeBasic

[Avata]

I like the darkmode but I have to say that the border color of the control such as Textbox, GroupBox is too bright in darkmode.

Yes, I join.

I will try appy all control with with blue background color.

Not all elements support background color. For example ComboBox, ScrollBar, ToolBar, Form title bar and etc. You must draw them yourself with this color.

Recently, I deeply used VisualFBEditor to make a comprehensive application of bass, which feels great!
However, compared with Visual Basic, some suggestions for VisualFBEditor are as follows. It would be better if it could be implemented.

1. The code editor is divided into two areas to facilitate viewing and editing definitions and codes.
2. After the control editor copies and pastes the control, the property becomes the default value, hoping to retain the style of the control when it is copied.
3. Control editor edit properties at multiple controls are selected, I want to change the properties for all selected controls.
4. Tag property in the control cannot be used yet. It is useful sometimes.
5. Control to add the function of ToolTipText.

not to be offensive, just be curious

a cross-platform GUI lib is a hark work. as far as I know, MyFbFramework is the infrastructure of VisualFBEditor IDE which is yet another hard work.

what is MyFbFramework's unique feature, or in other word, why MyFbFramework is used for VisualFBEditor?

There are some mature cross-platform GUI libs, i.e., QT, wxWidgets and IUP. QT and wxWidgets are huge, however IUP is smaller. So is it possible to use IUP for writing VisualFBEditor, and let VisualFBEditor's GUI designer create code for IUP binding? Thus, more energy can be put on VisualFBEditor.
