How can I wrap long lines of code?

[benco5000]

I've looked through the docs, and forum. The latest I found was an entry
from several months ago. Was this ever corrected so we could wrap long
lines of code?

Code: Select all

;------------------------------------------------------------
; create a main window
;------------------------------------------------------------
mainWin = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 270, 140, "ListViewGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget |#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

vs.

;------------------------------------------------------------
; create a main window
;------------------------------------------------------------
mainWin = OpenWindow(#PB_Any,                                  ;; create a window and assign id to mainWin
                      0, 0, 270, 140,                          ;; window size
                      "ListViewGadget",                        ;; name of window appears in title bar
                      #PB_Window_SystemMenu |                  ;; include a system menu
                      #PB_Window_SizeGadget |                  ;; allow resizing
                      #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget |              ;; allow minimize button
                      #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget |              ;; allow maximize button
                      #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)               ;; center on screen

thanks in advance.

Nope. No wrapping of long lines.

Code: Select all

#MyWindowFlags = #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget |#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered

mainWin = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 270, 140, "ListViewGadget", #MyWindowFlags )

there's no need to write long lines since PB is not an interpreted language.
literals and constants are processed at compiletime, no speed gain in putting it in one line.

any chance we can encourage developers to reconsider?

use the forums search, read the Feature-Request-Section.

                      #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget |              ;; allow minimize button
                      #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget |              ;; allow maximize button
                      #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)               ;; center on screen

Using my preprocessor LPP, it would look something like this:

Code: Select all

$Lpp

;------------------------------------------------------------
; create a main window
;------------------------------------------------------------
mainWin = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, _                                ;; create a window and assign id to mainWin
                      0, 0, 270, 140, _                        ;; window size
                      "ListViewGadget", _                      ;; name of window appears in title bar
                      #PB_Window_SystemMenu | _                ;; include a system menu
                      #PB_Window_SizeGadget | _                ;; allow resizing
                      #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | _            ;; allow minimize button
                      #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | _            ;; allow maximize button
                      #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)               ;; center on screen
