Nothing new, just a new link.
Follow the link from the first message above ok?

Thanks very much~~
Your pwrdev is very strong,hope pbedv following footsteps

PBDev is not a work in progress anymore.
Only fitting towards the latest compiler and make sure it does the same as before.
Existing users know this and i will not abandon these users for long time.

PBDev is not a work in progress anymore.

And I'm O.K. with that...
PBDev does everything that a fast Visual Designer should do... work as intended!

Thanks again,

Thanks Bob..
I know users keep on using it since it can especially be used for rapid development.
Maybe.. some day i may write it over to the newer PwrDev looks.
Technically it won't change nothing but its appearance would be more jolly
I still compile this one with the older PwrDev 1 version and i would have to rewrite PwrDev 2 to spit out PBDev code again.

Maybe ever..., hmm it's a promise i usually not hold, but i will hold my promise to keep this version working for several more years, i mean bugfixes.
(Hopefully 6 or more years)

Hopefully 6 or more years

Why

Is that when you'll be moving to Thailand?

You know everything ain't you?

@Edwin: I took another good, close look at PBDev (I also own a license for it), and even though I once complained that it generated too much code (in my eyes), it is an impressive app. It does look and feel just like Visual Basic, right down to double-clicking gadgets to add click routines, etc. If anyone here has come from VB to PB, check out Edwin's app, as it'll make you feel right at home.

One of the simple annoyances i ever wanted to solve is to use a BYREF situation for the twipstopixel conversion.
This would remove at least one function and could increase loading speed a little.
Just 4 variables x, y, xx, yy to be reset byref.
If you want to help me a little with the @ ? and * things i can't remember ??

When I wrote my vis2pure conversion app, I just divided the number of twips by 15 to get the pixels. This works fine, ie. the form and gadgets were all the right size. I don't know if doing pixels=twips/15 is wrong somehow, but for all intents and purposes it works fine for me here when converting VB5 forms to PureBasic.

No, you have to calculate this.
I'll check this out, i agree that there are functions which may never been used by the end user.
Though, it's already a bare minimum.

There is a new download again.
From now on i'll no longer or in a rare occasion submit changes on this board.
If you are interested in PBDev and it's changes overtime, please visit my board (see link above) and check out the announcements board.
It has a topic on PBDev.

I did some code reduction but frankly, not much can be removed since most of the code directly applies to the event and color handling.
Some of the other functions will barely take any space.
Note that you can use PBDev for direct coding only, no need to create forms via PBDev at all.
Just a minor 'overhead' of about two functions to get it working.

In this case i did only a short test, you may want to save the current PBDEV.EXE in case there is a problem.

Does this work in windows 7 ok? Anyone tried it in win 7 yet?

Works just fine on Windows 7.

But on regular installation you can't change the settings, this on all system without admin privilege.

Don't know what you mean.
Settings like the environmentsettings?

The setup requires admin access or at least an extra warning is what you get.

I just used my W7 RC to do this setup and afterwards i set the compiler filename stuff.
I have restarted PBDev and the compiler was still set.
