PureBasic Forums - English

Back in 2012 it got a little quite around the team and some of us were concerned about PureBasic's future. So I initiated the "PureBasic Poll 2012" which was kind of successful with about 300 participants. I think it showed some interesting insights about us developers back then: Who are we? What do ...

ArraySize() is misleading as Dim array(5) actually creates an array with 6 elements ("0" included). So simply remove all "-1" and you'll see that SortStructuredArray() works as expected.

I think it would already be a very big advantage if we would be able to instantiate Modules. My feature request with surprisingly PB-like behavior and only minor syntactical changes: "Class Modules" (Create Instances of a Module)

skywalk, thanks for pointing this out. I wasn't aware of it either and really think it should be noted in the help file.

Hey Keya, thanks for your investigation. Currently I'm manually unpacking the provided CHM with "hh -decompile output PureBasic.chm" and then creating a ZIP of the output folder. It's tedious and annoying but for me it does the job until we get the HTML on all OS's...

it's not as simple as you might think.
m::var(0)\arr[0]\s

cursor here, what would you like to get in that case?
arr[0] ?
arr[0]\s ?
m::var(0)\arr ?
m::var(0)\arr[0]\s ?

'arr' is simply the correct word at cursor position.
..and just think about UseModule / With,EndWith etc. For me it's ...

Hi c4s Get`s all the selection [...] Thanks for the code, Zebuddi123! Too bad that there doesn't seem to be an easy (built-in) cross-platform way, or is it?

I have never read it as being described as anything but an individual collection of allowable characters terminated on both ends by ...

Thanks for your reply, freak.

Well, it returns the word at the cursor as the description says. It doesn't perform any deeper analysis of what that word means or the context in which it appears. Its not a bug. I know what you mean but define "word" in the context of a programming language IDE. It ...

Don't you agree that it's unusable like this for modules? I'd say this is even a bug. I clarifying reply from a team member would be highly appreciated...

How can I get the IDE's full "word currently under the cursor" for procedures/constants/variables of modules?

Unfortunately in this case the environment variable PB_TOOL_Word or the %WORD argument is unusable... Because when hovering e.g. over MyProc() of MyModule::MyProc() it should return ...

See this topic for a very related feature request: Improve Macro Handling with MacroIf and MacroParam()

In the meantime is something like Windows' #MB_ICONQUESTION also available for Linux/Mac?

IntelliJ IDEA for example. But I have to admit that I thought/felt more support it (just checked VS Code, Notepad++ and Eclipse).
