PureBasic 4.00 - Beta 4

Post by **Fred** » Sat Feb 25, 2006 12:07 am

Hi there,

Here the fourth beta of PB4, which brings an important thing: a preview of the help file. It's not 100% finished, but all the library docs should be upto date, and the main topics about the new features should be complete as well. As usual, a lot of bugs have been squashed since the last beta. We also consider this version as 'reliable', so it should be safe to switch now if you want to, as it will help make the final release better. Other changes are:

Code: Select all

- DisableToolBarButton() and ToolBarToolTips() now take a new parameter
- 2 new pseudotypes: p-utf8 and p-variant (direct variant structure as parameter, useful for COM functions)
- GetGadgetItemAttribute(#Gadget, 0, #PB_ListIcon_ColumnWidth, 2)    ; return width of column 2
- SetGadgetItemAttribute(#Gadget, 0, #PB_ListIcon_ColumnWidth, 100, 2) ; set width of column 2 to 100
- GetGadgetItemText(#Gadget, -1, 2)             ; return header text for column 2
- SetGadgetItemText(#Gadget, -1, "New Text", 2) ; change header text for column 2
- The debugger has now the 'Step over' and 'Step out' features.
- The famous help file

Have fun !

The Fantaisie Software Team.

Here are some questions, sticking points I meant to address earlier in the beta vetting:

1. The ability to F7 and quickly choose to create either a .exe or .dll

2. Where is the area that allows for external Help files to be quickly viewed?

Both of these are present in PB 3.x

Ideas? Am I missing some factoid or menu area?

TIA
