PureBasic Forums - English

pb files are text files, so you can edit them with any text editor, e.g. notepad. But why do you want to edit them without the PureBasic IDE?

PureForm and jaPBe have been great contributions to PureBasic, and we all hope that gnozal is well. Would be nice to get a short contribution by him in this forum about his situation. I think we all sould thank him for his work and wish him the best.

A small interesting note: Vanya has developed a ...

Hello Foz,

the runtime library has been added with Version 5.20 LTS.

Automatic generation of BindMenuEvent() / BindGadgetEvent() and callback procedures, based on the gadget names. Example:

I also got this error sometimes. When I switch from design to code view and try to compile again, it works. So I ignore it. But I cannot reproduce it now.

deanathpc,

I suppose you use Polo's Form Designer which is integrated into the IDE? Did you switch your form from "Design View" to "Code View", and did you edit the code of your form? This would be dangerous, because if you write something into the code which the Form Designer cannot translate, the ...

I can answer your first question. Event files are not used any more. You can assign an event procedure to each gadget in the Form Designer, and you can write all your event procedures into your main file. In the PB help file there is a short chapter "Form Designer" where this concept is briefly ...

An other possibility would be not to generate and define event procedures in the form designer. In this case, the form designer generates only the "OpenWindow" procedure, you can write a short event loop in the main file:
Repeat
event = WaitWindowEvent()
Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
And ...

A good description how to use the Form Designer can be found here:

I agree with these ideas. I think we need a more automatic generation of event procedures in this way or similarly. Actually, working with projects and the Form Designer requires a lot of manual actions:
- creating a project folder (not mandatory, but useful for larger projects)
- creating ...

May the description of ReadConsoleData() and WriteConsoleData() in the PureBasic help file be usefull for you?

Hi gerd,

would be nice in the event loop, too. But I want to be honest: I still prefer very much to work with Polo's Form Designer, because:
- you can manage projects with more than one form
- form design (pbf file) and coding (pb file) is strictly separated, so you need not change your code when ...

You can find an example how to print text or tables here:

The example is written in pure PureBasic without WinAPI and should run on printers with any resolution. "PrintText(text)" prints a line of ...

Thank you!

On the IDE when double clicking on a XIncludeFile "my_form.pbf" line, sometimes the #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue gets replaced on the enumerations by FormWindow or FormGadget words.

I could reproduce this bug very quickly. It is a permanent error. How can it be repaired? :evil:
Or is it a ...
