jaPBe: Converting source to PB4

Hi,
I've just started to port the latest sourcecode from gnozal for jaPBe to PB4.
So far it looks promising.
The IDE is already running, there are only some problems with the
compiler, it's not running yet, I get "compiler terminated" and a permanent timeout in the info window.
Hopefully I'll solve this problem today.
BTW: BlitzTools PB-converter helps a lot, without it, it would have taken
days to convert all the sources.
edit: Converter link:

Greatings,
technicorn

BlitzTools PB-converter
What is that? Is it AL90's converter? I can't find anything called that here or on google.

Please note the jaPBe uses undocumented PB3.9x features like EventwParam() and EventlParam(). I am not sure they work the same way in PB4.00 !

EventwParam() and EventlParam() works OK in PB4.

That's good. I don't know why they are not documented, but they help much if you don't want to write a lot of API code to get things done.

they are not documented because - at the contrary of the PureBasic philosophy - these ones are Windows specifics.

I think they should still be documented somewhere for the benefit of those like me who are only interested in Windows development.

I agree, could someone tell me what they functions do?

EventwParam() and EventlParam() are the equivalents to wParam and lParam in a Windows Callback, they allow you to access these values without setting up a callback, which is quite handy.

Exactely.
to more precise, here is a small snippet :
Code: Select all
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,480,"test",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #WM_KEYUP
Select EventwParam()
Case #VK_RETURN: MessageRequester("", "Hello")
Case #VK_ESCAPE: Break
EndSelect
EndSelect
ForEver
CloseWindow(0)
EndIf
which a simpler way to do this :
Code: Select all
Procedure MyCallback(WindowID, message, wParam, lParam)
Protected result.l = #PB_ProcessPureBasicEvents
Select message
Case #WM_KEYDOWN
Select wParam
Case #VK_RETURN: MessageRequester("", "Hello")
Case #VK_ESCAPE: SendMessage_(WindowID, #WM_CLOSE, 0, 0)
EndSelect
EndSelect
ProcedureReturn result
EndProcedure
If OpenWindow(0,0,0,640,480,"test",#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
SetWindowCallback(@MyCallback())
Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

Great initiative.
Can we
help you in any way, with that ?

It seems to me that your
first code snippet was the
simpler of the two examples.
No?

Many thanks for the offer, but it's already finished, I hope
.
I'm already make last changes using the converted version!
Hopefully I haven't introduced to many bugs
@gnozal: If you want to, I can send you the modified sources, I marked all places where I messed with the code with my nick.
I think it will make enhancements you want to incorporate into jaPBe far more easyer.
And could you or someone else host the updated source,
as I don't have webspace to put the files up.
Although the PB-compiler is still somewhat buggy, I hadn't any trouble compiling and running jaPBe for PB-V4

Maybe you could find a place to upload your file so everybody could test your converted jaPBe and see if it's stable.
I suggest PureStorage
http://purebasic.myftp.org ; there are also many free web providers.

Ok, here are a short info text, the executable and the new sources:
Info text
Zipped executable
Zipped sources
The unpacked exe is about 1.4 Mb, compared to the about 550 kb of the
PB-V3 compiled exe, but it includes the on error linenumber support.
But even without it, it's still about 1 Mb.
Just download and test.
Edit: Sorry, got wrong links, corrected and tested. Please try again
