jaPBe 3.13.4 [IDE for PB 4 and PB 5]

[gnozal]

1) Can someone explain jaPBe projects to me?
a) Do you reopen a project by opening the .pbfl file?
b) Are there other advantages to using projects beyond (a)

In jaPBe, a project is a list of files saved as .pbfl file.
If your project only has one file, saving as .pb is enough.

2) What is the best way to use the PureForm plugin to maintain forms within jaPBe projects?
a) Should I create a separate .pbf file, use "Save as code" to create a separate .pb file and add it to the jaPBe project, or use the code windows "Copy code to jaPBe"?
b) If I later modify the window/gadget code, do I always need to use "Translate from source" to get the changes recognized in PureForm, or is there some way to have PureForm rescan the code automatically?

PureFORM is still in development.
Currently, to update a source, I maximize the CodeView window, then copy and paste the code changes in my source, and then minimize the CodeView.
The "Translate from source" feature is convenient to import forms from sources not created with PureFORM, but not to update an existing form, as you will loose some information (not all PureFORM features are implemented in the import routine).
I am working on an 'automatic' source update feature, but I am still not sure how to do it. PureFORM will probably have to add some 'code tags' as comments in the generated code and update the code in your source between the code tags. I will probably also add some 'code inject' feature.
But this is WIP ...

Crash report

2byte-charactor-code, I set Japanese(932). but from 4.0.
Set UTF-8(65001).

I write 2byte charactor, and jaPBe crushed. Please add UTF8(2bytemode)

Thank you.

Thank you.

Sorry, can't reproduce this.
My sequence :
New file
F8 : Set Japanese(932)
Type "éééé"
F8 : Set UTF-8(65001)
Type "éééé"
No crash ['é' in UTF-8 is 'é' in ANSI, so I assume it's a 2 byte character]

hello gnozal,

It would be nice to support 'https://' and 'ftp://' for the url-hotspot feature.

A valid url can be easily checked with win32 api :

Code: Select all

Import "urlmon.lib" 
  IsValidURL(*pBC, Url.p-bstr, dwReserved.l) 
EndImport

Macro CheckUrl(Url)
  (#S_FALSE - IsValidURL(#Null, Url, #Null))
EndMacro

Debug CheckUrl("//not/a/valid/url.pb")
Debug CheckUrl("file://server/test.pb")
Debug CheckUrl("ftp://www.purebasic.com")
Debug CheckUrl("http://www.purebasic.com")
Debug CheckUrl("https://www.purebasic.com")
Debug CheckUrl("mailto:support@purebasic.com")

[oryaaaaa]

TEST, thanks

No crash

Load UTF-8(65001) Source
TYPE " " (UNICODE 2byte charactor by IME, input 2byte x charactors)
Crash

but no problem (Scintilla DLL), Its jaPBe bugs

On the todo list.
Nice example, but PB4 only, and jaPBe code is still PB3.94.

Sorry, no crash here (WinNT4 french).

jaPBe 3.7.1

Changes :
- added 'https://' and 'ftp://' in URL style
- fixed URL not being styled if more than one URL in a comment

On the todo list.

ah yes but this one is PB3.94 compatible

Code: Select all

Procedure.l CheckUrl(Url.s)
  
  Dim unicode.w(Len(Url))
  
  id.l = OpenLibrary(#PB_Any, "urlmon.dll")
  
  If id And MultiByteToWideChar_(#CP_ACP, #Null, Url, Len(Url), @unicode(), Len(Url))
    result.l = (#S_FALSE - CallFunction(id, "IsValidURL", #Null, @unicode(), #Null) )
    CloseLibrary(id)
  EndIf 
  
  ProcedureReturn result 
  
EndProcedure

Debug CheckUrl("//not/a/valid/url.pb")
Debug CheckUrl("file://server/test.pb")
Debug CheckUrl("ftp://www.purebasic.com")

[EDIT]
Too late Gnozal's faster than Lucky Luke.

Since update to 400 the debugger is no longer running.
I always get a "written" error message.
My source is really great, more then 30.000 lines.
The debugger works, when used directly from PB.

[gnozal]

400 ?
You mean PB 4.0x ?

What version of PB are you using ?
What version of jaPBe are you using ?

[JoRo]

PB 4.02
Japbe 400 / 3.7.1.602
It is since I update both to version 4.

I had this in the past, in an earlier build of japbe too.

[gnozal]

PB 4.02
Japbe 400 / 3.7.1.602

No problem here (same versions).

The user oryaaaaa had an analog problem, wich he apparently solved (see a few posts back in the same thread).

So F6 does not work ? what about F5 ?
F5 and F6 share the same code, it's just a flag change : PostThreadMessage_(CompilerThreadID, PB_MSG_ID, #PB_MSG_Start_Compilation, flags)

The debugger works, when used directly from PB.

Internal debugger / External debugger / Both ?

[JoRo]

The compiler works, only in debug modus, the error occurs. Correct me if I am wrong, but F5 is without debugger.

Do not know much about the system of PB compilers when started in PB directly, I just enable "Use Debugger" or so - I use Japbe

Well, I think, you should open for every build a new thread, this here is nothing to search, in which version which bug was fixed or worked around, and of course get an own forum inside this forum. I would run crazy, if I had to use the PB editor.

Oryaaaa problem was gone with build 4.02, I use 4.02, and the problem stays.

Yes, F5 is without debugger but as I explained it's the same code in jaPBe.

In the PB IDE, look at 'Debugger' in the 'Preferences' dialog : there is a combobox 'Choose debugger type'.

There is probably a problem with your PB and/or jaPBe installation.
