What is for you, THE function PB misses!!!

For me it's the /COMMENTED option with compiler (but it will be ok in the next release)

I think the biggest thing missing is not a command but a form editor. This is the first compiler I have come across (for creating utilities) that does not have a built in form editor.

It sure does take a long time arranging gadgets with just code

i think that that the purebasic missed a lot is
extra super duber dual fat reference guide (like these
in c which are 2000pages for exlpan only the Ansi C standar)
but a little smaller will be ok
(anyway i think that one is written for for the commercial version:))

Well I gota say some basic hi-level bitmap/image handling routines, that can be used to draw to windows. Mind you I think these are ment to be in the next patch (or soon anyway).

See http://www.basicguru.com/rapidq/docs/contents.html !
I like to use Rapid-Q (and PowerbasicDLL). And now PureBasic...

Yes, PB is young compared to RapidQ, but it grows up rapidely...

I think RapidQ is perhaps too visual for me.

A form editor would be cool. I don't know if there is any project like this, but it might be a cool common project for PB.

Anyone interested???

First enable to load gadgets at runtime, then a Formeditor is only
a lot of work

In very NEW to Pure Basic, however i want to give my opinion.

I think that Pure Basic need: (sorry if my english are not too good)

-Real time adding of gadgets (buttons, combos,etc)
-A way to call Win Apis directly, i know it uses it as if it where BASIC commands, but if there is just ONE API function not available via this BASIC like command, the API calls needs a way to call it directly
-The RUN command needs to be able to run other apps as hidden
-a way to change the control's (gadgets) size and position in real time
-some way to 'store' resources inside the application and some way to call it at runtime with out the need to extract them (as the $resource function in Rapid-Q)

Maybe some of this functions are available now, but i can't find them

I notice that the Pure Basic developers are very talent and i know if we give them support (registering) and the properly feed-back they will make the changes and will make Pure Basic the best BASIC option (its not far since Pure Basic has right now the best idea: making a object oriented software that compiles in BASIC a small and fast executables !! with out the need to distribute dlls or any other libraries)
