Another bug :

in option, in "project" tab
i check option "request user mode on Vista"
i press OK
close jaPBe
launch jaPBe
look in option and "request user mode on Vista" is not checked.

I think you don't save this value in preferences.

Thanks

Should be fixed in build 856

jaPBe provides a menu option for 'Compiler/Purifier' and a shortcut key to use it. However it can only be activated with the shortcut key and not by selecting the menu option.

Here is a short 2 line code that contains an obvious problem that can be used to demonstrate this:


The purifier only activates when pressing Shift+F6 and not from the menu option.

Should be fixed in build 857.

Feature : Sometimes the search function ignore "exclude comments" option, especialy in folded parts which are unfolded for first time after loading, by the search function itself. On second rerun anything works fine.
Another Feature I found is that search does not expand foldings if the found string is in the first line (and so protected from changing).

Click on button "Select Source" (top right corner):



Another problem is that jaPBe after every code change, reloads all panel items like "proc", "book", etc.
This results in longer codes to significant delays.
Maybe you can restrict the update to only necessary things? Or is it possible to prevent (disable/enable)
the update by pressing a specified key...

Don't know if this is possible, or if I'm missing something and the feature's already available, but one thing I miss from using VB6 is the ability to find/replace within the current procedure - much easier than having to select all the lines in the procedure and then 'replace in selection'. Also, in VB6 I could navigate through procedures using Ctrl/UpArrow and Ctrl/DownArrow. Very handy. Any chance of implementing these features in jaPBe?

I'm trying out jaPBe again, so I have a couple questions...

I have both the PB IDE and jaPBe set to Courier, 10 point. However, when I set the window heights to match, the PB IDE fits 75 lines but jaPBe only fits 61. Is there a Line Spacing setting so the lines have less space between them?

Secondly, if I page-down through my 6k-line file in the PB IDE, it takes about one second to make it. However, with japbe, it can take 10, up to 30 seconds or more. It is especially slow the first time, and after that randomly stops scrolling here and there. Am I missing a setting? I've got a "modern" low-power laptop with dual core (not Atom) and 4GB RAM. Can I speed up the IDE?

Thanks.

There isn't, sorry.
JaPBe scans the whole file the first time it loads.
I have no problems myself with a 1.71 Mb source file.
Try deactivating some syntax coloring options.

I like the check to make sure the compiler is 32bit Shame though, I was hoping for a nice editor for 64bit compiler. No plans, right?

Nope.
However, the source code is available ...

Hi PB-friends, i need your help:

I have two probs with " joystick.pbi "...

1. in structure joy_old_status there are 2x axisz.l declared (I commented one; right?)

2. i get the error "joy_status_() is not declared." (asm off) or the error "can't use an asm keyword for an affectation." (asm on) in procedure examine_joy(JoyID). (...and yes, i restarted the compiler

I'm using jaPBe V3 (3.11.6.856 - G P I/gnozal) - PB4.51 (original version) at Win7HomePremium64bit, but in this case PB 32bit version.

Thanks for help!

Hi DirkJes,
I made some changes in 'joystick.pbi' and updated the jaPBe package.
However, I am not the author of the include (from 2004?) and I have no joystick, so I do not know if it will run as intended.
At least there is no compiler error anymore...

It works. Great. Thanks.

Whenever I install a new version of jaPBe I lose my indentation preferences and have to restore Syntax\jaPBe_Indentation.pref from my backup drive. Can you change the instaler so that the file is only created if needed, thereby preserving any existing changes to the indentation preferences?
