VisualFBEditor - IDE for FreeBasic

[Tolo68]

Anyway, I'll wait for you to upload this version to GitHub, since you have more control over it, and what takes me hours to do, surely you will do in minutes.

Tomorrow I'll see maybe I make another release for you.

Someday when I have time, I'll look at the source code, since I'd like to learn how it works.

This is welcome.

By the way, I studied Electronics too, so if you need anything you can ask me, and if I know the subject I'll be happy to help you

Right now I have no interest yet, but thanks for the offer of help.

Hello Xusinboy !!!! Thank you very much for uploading the new version !!, I see that you have added many interesting and useful news. Greetings from Spain !!!! By the way, where are you from ?

I did not see the list of functions, what is the button like or what menu is it in???

The Form/Code view in the IDE now if I have it in Win XP, as you told me before it did not come out due to a bug or error, but now the buttons do come out.

And the double click on the form in the project explorer also works well, to go to design mode, that's very practical.

One useful thing I saw would be being able to scroll the list of controls on the left of the IDE with the mouse wheel, just like you do in the code and properties windows.

Also if I'm not mistaken, the "About" menu hangs the IDE, and you have to close it and open it again, or at least in Win XP, in other Windows I don't know.

The good thing about your IDE is that I can run it from Linux with Wine.

If I find more utilities that the VB6 IDE has, I'll tell you, since many programmers still use this IDE, despite the fact that the last version came out 25 years ago, and the more similar it is, the better.

Greetings, congratulations on the project!

The Function List is located here:

I need to test this on WinXP.

For Linux, there is also VisualFBEditor64_gtk2 and VisualFBEditor64_gtk3.

After entering the code, there is a helpful hint below the code.
When the mouse pointer is just above the prompt, or when the mouse is moved to it, the code editor loses focus and can no longer enter code.

1: The black UI looks much better than before, and it's done very well. But what about those who don't like black? Hope to consider adding different color options.

2: When double-clicking the code, the cursor will go to the next few lines, hoping that double-clicking the code can select it.

Hello Xusinboy, Good morning

I already saw the list of functions, in version 1.3.1 it also appeared, but today I realized that depending on the width of the IDE, it appeared and disappeared, but in version 1.3.2 it's already perfect.

I'll take a look at testing VisualFBEditor64_gtk2 and VisualFBEditor64_gtk3 on Linux to see how it goes.

In VB6 there is the Debug.Print statement, which displays the data in the immediate window
For example...

Debug.Print 2+2 & " " & "MyString"

I see that VisualFBEditor has the immediate window, but I don't know how to write data to it.

Thank you. Greetings and have a nice day.

Fixed: Edit control lose focus on mouse move to tooltip hyperlink:

Changed: ToolTips:

1: The black UI looks much better than before, and it's done very well. But what about those who don't like black? Hope to consider adding different color options.

As I said, for other colors, we will need to draw the ComboBox, ToolBar, CommandButton ourselves. I'm not planning this yet.

2: When double-clicking the code, the cursor will go to the next few lines, hoping that double-clicking the code can select it.

When I double-click, the words are highlighted.

For example...

Debug.Print 2+2 & " " & "MyString"

I see that VisualFBEditor has the immediate window, but I don't know how to write data to it.

Now you can only show messages in the console using "Print" or "?".

Ok, thank you very much, it's how I usually do it

[Avata]

In VisualFBEditor, the Function DebugPrint has the same function like Debug.print and could save the infomation to log file.

Thank you Avata, but this is not exactly what I am saying, I have tried your example, and what it does is show a MsgBox.

Greetings

[Avata]

Oh, It could write a logging file and show the message windows. But Should delete it in time or it will get more and more bigger. Suggestion it was delete when IDE start.

Code: Select all

Private Sub DebugPrint(ByRef MSG As WString, bWriteLog As Boolean = True, bPrintMsg As Boolean = True, bShowMsg As Boolean = True)
	If bWriteLog Then
		Dim As Integer Result, Fn = FreeFile()
		Result = Open(ExePath & "/DebugInfo.log" For Append As #Fn) 'Encoding "utf-8" Can not be using in the same mode
		If Result = 0 Then
			Print #Fn, __DATE_ISO__ & " " & Time & Chr(9) & MSG & Space(20) 'cut some word if some unicode inside.
			Close #Fn
		End If
	End If
	If bPrintMsg Then Print MSG
	If bShowMsg Then MsgBox MSG, "Visual FB Editor"
End Sub
