Visual PureBasic

[Tipperton]

What do you think about Skittles ?

Yuck! I never did like those.

It would be great, if the existing source of the current Visual Designer or PureForm would get used to build such a project. Simply double-clicking on a gadget to edit the most common event-code will be great. Right click will open a popup-menu to select the event you like to edit. Simple but very effective. I would love it surely!

You might want to look at Edwin Knoppert's PBDev (http://www.hellobasic.com/pbdev/). I'd use it except that there is no further development being done on it except to fix any bugs that are found so it is essentially a dead product IMHO.

I don't have a big problem with the current PB IDE

Nor do I. Someday however; I plan to build all the files needed to make UEStudio (http://www.ultraedit.com/products/uestudio.html) into a full fledged PureBasic IDE, then switch to it for all my future development work.

I have been using Ian's Ultra Edit since his first release when his pitch was a message from god that told him to write it. After 2 million sales later, I guess he made the right decision. I have been after Ian for years to expand the UE API and only recently have I seen activity in this area. It's still the best text editor I have ever used and a perfect foundation for an IDE.

You might want to look at UEStudio then, I don't know if it will meet all your needs but it is basically an IDE using Ultra Edit as it's editor.

I think I first encountered Ultra Edit when it was v3.xx, been using it as a general purpose editor since until about a year ago when I switched to UEStudio.

I got a Google Alert that this app has been updated. The home page is here:

http://vpbide.codeplex.com/

But when I download the binary, it crashes with this error:

Code: Select all

---------------------------
Visual PureBasic IDE.exe - Application Error
---------------------------
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).
Click on OK to terminate the application.

Does it crash for anyone else? I'm using v0.1.0.3 (Mar 14 2009, Alpha).

(BTW, can a mod move this to Announcements? It's not exactly off-topic).

I have not tested it yet, but have you seen the comments on the "releases" page?

Attention: Be sure to copy the contents of "(copy to system32)" to the "system32" directory in your Windows directory!

no, did not crash (but i have all that M$-VisualStudio stuff installed) .

and moved.....

@Kukulkan: No, I didn't see that as my browser window was too short
to see it (small screen res at the moment). Thanks for pointing it out!
But, it wasn't in the BinariesOnly release; it's in the normal release. But
even after I copied the file inside there (SciLexer.dll) to System32, I still
get the same error and crash...

hey community! i just googled "Visual PureBasic IDE", because i have written the IDE, and saw this thread appearing as a result only now.
pb, if you are getting such a message, this most likely means that you haven't yet installed the .net framework 2.0. windows doesn't know how to handle the executable. hope that helps...
if there should be any further questions, feel free to ask.
p.s.: i apologize not for putting the SciLexer.dll into the BinariesOnly zip file.

[PB]

.NET? Noooooooo! Thanks for your tool anyway, and for replying.

[nickpl]

no problem, but i think i need some help, because i currently do not have much time for development... any volunteers ? i think Kale said, he wanted to help me. that would be great then!!!

[nickpl]

anyone asked, why it is written in C#. simple reason: it's easier for me to manage all that objects and events. also it was necessary to build abstract classes and interfaces. it's hard to realize that in PureBasic.

another question: "is this VD-Panel forced into this tiny size, or could it be maximized as a second window?"
you may maximize the VD-Panel as a second window.

btw, the designer is currently useless. i have to implement all that PureBasic gadgets and finally a code generator for it.

now, my only pending feature to implement for version 0.2.0.0 is a TemplateManager linked with the DocumentManager to handle solution, project and file templates (so: loading and applying them). also i will do some bug fixes and replace the german remains with english ones.

the next version of VPBIDE will feature a fully functioning and integrated visual designer.

that's all for now.
