Maybe there is already a good language like PB that does that?

VB?
As basic-like languages (and not from Microsoft)?

I know only 2: RapidQ and HotBasic.
RapidQ is not developed anymore (since 2000) - freeware
HotBasic is new (2 years young) and compiles straight to OBJ (no assembler needed) - commercial

ON THE PUREBASIC FRONT:
With Didel's oop preprocessor a nice oop gui can also be accomplished with PureBasic.

You can't do things like:

form1.Caption = "Hello World!"
WhatsTheCaption$ = form1.Caption

like in HB, where no Set/Get command is needed (at least for internal/compiler objects, not user objects), but IMHO it's a minor issue, and maybe most people don't like it anyway.

So if you own PureBasic, just code your oop-gui and you're done :D


BTW1: With a better parser Didel's preprocessor could do it too (look if "=" is left/right from "form1.Caption" and access Caption_Property or Caption_Method - while assigning the Property (variable) Caption needs to be internally renamed to Caption_Property and the Method (procedure) Caption needs to be internally renamed to Caption_Method...)

BTW2: Actually there is another oop basic-like language called UberCode (commercial), but uses a 600KB runtime (produces single exe files though) , but I don't know who would use it :wink:

Ha! They even have a language called "Visual Fred". So I guess we'll have to stick to "PureBasic". Maybe "FredBasic"?
