I think that the main mistake made by Paul and Idigicon is that they don't give the users any information.

Is IBasic Pro round the corner or is it another year until it is released. Because of this I don't use IBasic anymore.

I really hope this will never happen to Purebasic - and why should it?

Well the program is copyright IDigiCon and according to xmystik it is developed in Blitz3d and PureBasic.

Idigicon already has blitz (or had) and IBasic. I just thought it interesting that they (or the programmer) used PureBasic.

So what do I know, they don't sell it yet, or maybe they have ...

IDigiCon using PureBasic?

Hi!

I made some searches after reading the post on Blitz and IDigiCon.

I found that IDigiCon sells applications developed in PureBasic!

According to this site developed in PureBasic and Blitz:

I don't think the developer of IBasic will listen much. He has too much invested in the deal with IDigIcon. A lot of people at the IBasic forum didn't like it much when he signed that deal.

A year ago, or something, there was much talk about the new IBasic version. It would be a real compiler, just ...

Thanks GPI!

I will try to sort things out after reading your advice. :D

It's sad though not being able to trust ones applications to run on ordinary windows systems. I cant really find any bugs and still it crashes on people.

I really hope it doesn't drag my project in the dirt :cry: , since it ...

Program crashes in WinME and not in WinXP

Hi all!

Are there any general principles to think about when coding apps for winxp vs winme?

I can't really post my app, since it's too big. The program has a few tabs. It opens files. Reads some information. Calculates a new file name and then renames the file. It also supports drag and drop ...

A new version can cause all kinds of trouble. Personally I do not recompile every application as soon as there is a new PB version available.

If Fred releases frequent new versions, you still have the option not to download it. If you download every second or third new release, you can pretend that ...

Moving away from zero terminated strings would, I imagine, cause Fred working a long time fixing something that's not broken. Try to call the API with a string like that. Is it possible to convince the API that zero is not the termination character? I don't know.

Sure, it could be neat being able ...

Hi!

The way I use the visual designer is this:
1) I start the visual designer.
2) I design a nice GUI
3) I put file names in the project options. I call the main file main.pb and the include file common.pb
4) I don't care much for the event loop since the visual designer will overwrite it every ...

So has anyone else had this problem?
First I thought that it was because I started the GUI design in an earlier VD 3.71 beta. That doesn't explain why it didn't work when I started it all over. I am thinking in terms of tab problem, a menu problem, too many gadgets on one tab, or maybe some ID ...

Visual Designer Trouble

Hi all!

I have experienced some serious problems with visual designer. After changing some items in a menu, I can no longer get the GUI to work. The menu appears in the about window. I rewrote the whole gui/visual designer part. I have 4 tabs in a window. It looks ok in the designer. After ...

I have had the same experience. While it is a good thing not having to reinvent the wheel, I still wonder why we should have to use someone elses wheels. Any plans for rewriting the file routines included in PB?

Still, having completed my first major project in PB I can only say that I love it. My ...

Well, yes maybe it is a bug. I wasn't sure until someone else tried it. I will post it in the bugs section as well. Thank you for confirming my findings!
