Hi,

Here is my wishlist for PureBasic:

1. Include ready made functions(commands) for sending and receiving emails through POP3 and SMTP servers.
2. Include ready made functions(commands) for connecting to databases through ODBC and performing queries.
3. The current editor should be upgraded to a comprehensive Visual PureBasic IDE

Cheers!
Anil

Nice wishes but I think you have to wait till Version 5.30

I would like to see the following features in one of the next pb releases:

- MD5FingerprintStream for hashing files directly from HD
- same for CRC eg.
- Correct eventhandling
- Optional ID argument for memorybank, file, gadget, sprite eg
- some network commands like ip$=GetInternetIP or ip$=ResolveIP(socket)
- SetGadgetItemColor(gadget, item,#RRGGBB,[column])
- SetGadgetItemStyle(gadget, item, Flags)
- SetGadgetColumnGFX(gadget, item, column, *bitmap, [#Flags])
- Caching events on a column-click
- AddGadgetItem should support images for PanelGadgets and Combogadgets too
- MenuItem(MenuID,txt$,[*bitmap]) for adding small Icons in Menus

- receivenetworkstring() should be removed couse it could never work correctly in one call

I think thats all for now.

Fred, lets do it. hehe
Have a nice day,

Cheers
Yours Mike

Great suggestions! I agree wholeheartedly with the email features. They are highly needed and very valuable to a programmer.

And pleassssseee, Fred, please add a FlashGadget so that a PB application and Flash can communicate easily and efficiently without the need for difficult and clumsy COM programming.

Thank you sincerely for all your work!

I dont know what you all mean with "Sending emails via pop". What should that be for a command?

SendPop3Email(*pointertomail,length.l,pop3ip.s,user.s,pass.s) ???

Isnt it the work of a coder to code a "SendEmail" routine? I think such a command is highly "high level" and of course not the work of Fred. You can do everything by using SendNetworkData and ReceiveNetworkData. I think I have found some small Email-Clients in the forum some month ago. Possible that helpes.

Or do I think wrong?

Cheers
Mike

I think that is not so important to get it. You can allready do it
with the network-library. You have only to know how to use the
protocol of Pop3 and SMTP.
But I agree with tranquil, this are nice ideas and it could be good
for using PB

Until Fred supports E-Mail sending, you can use the smallish example
that I just posted at this URL to send SMTP mails:

Why dont we have a ready made 'text box' (editable multi line string box)? Though it can be achieved using some flags on the string gadget (code found on this forum), i feel it should be made a seperate gadget.
