Suggestion: Line continuation character _ to attach the next line onto this
line. Very useful for long function calls like OpenWindow.

Suggestion: Option to uppercase all keywords/builtin functions.

Suggestion: Perform case correction on procedures.

Suggestion: Case correction for predefined constants.

Suggestion: Global ... EndGlobal with a list of variables in between (just like enumeration except that they don't get a value and are variables).

Suggestion: Support for gadget "alignment" (called Dock and DockStyle in Windows Forms.) <- Important!!

Suggestion: More flags for OpenFileRequester():
#PB_Requester_FileMustExist (File must exist. Windows has a preset for this.) <- More important
#PB_Requester_NoPlacesBar (No places bar (My Documents, etc...) in Windows 2000/XP) <- Less important

Suggestion: More flags for SaveFileRequester():
#PB_Requester_OverwritePrompt (Display a prompt before returning a filename that is already used.) <- More important
#PB_Requester_NoPlacesBar (No places bar (My Documents, etc...) in Windows 2000/XP) <- Less important

Suggestion: Find and Replace requesters. (They're standard under Windows)

Suggestion: Flag for ColorRequester():
#PB_Requester_FullOpen (Opens the "define custom colours" flap by default)

Suggestion: A way to define the custom colours for ColorRequester before showing it for the first time.

Suggestion: An easy way to measure the height (and maybe width) of a gadget
text for designing scalable user interfaces. For people with poor eyesight who
have large font settings, the text could go outside buttons, etc...

Hello,

Right, it would be useful. but

Suggestion: Global ... EndGlobal with a list of variables in between (just like enumeration except that they don't get a value and are variables).

It is possible if you type Globa var1,Var2,etc but if the "_" to continu the in another line was, you'd be able to do global Var1,_
Var2 etc. But all others suggestion, I also think they would be useful.

Just adding my 2c worth of support for this wishlist.

Also perhaps some additional gadgetevent constants (and returns) like mousemoved and windowmoved and windowchanged.

It would be very very good if resources (XP skins, Version Informations, and others resources we want to include) were not ignored when compiling a dll.
