remove the structure viewer

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

remove the structure viewer

Post by Dr. Dri »

The embedded structure viewer tool is way too old. A resident viewer would be far better. Something which could allow to choose the the resident we want to "view" with options for unicode and subsystems. Something also able to show macros and prototypes (anything you can find in a res file)

I find the embedded structure viewer usefull, please don't remove it.
On the other hand, a RES file viewer would be nice (or a documentation of the RES file structure).
For free libraries and tools, visit my web site (also home of jaPBe V3 and PureFORM).

if it's replaced by the Resident viewer i'm suggesting you won't need it anymore...

Maybe it's not clear but suggest a viewer which shows :
- constants
- structures
- interfaces
- prototypes
- macros

i also ask for features informing :
- which resident file contains the elements listed above
- in which subsystem you can find it
- whether it's a unicode resident or not

I would additionally request the possibility of searchings constants by value.

e.g. if I debug the return value of WindowEvent, I maybe want to look up
the constant by that value to see what event was fired.
oh... and have a nice day.
