PureBasic Forums - English

Hello,

After programming using PureBasic since three years now, and releasing some commercial PureBasic applications, too, I found out some wishes that seem very important to me:

I would like to see some official(!) library's for
- e-mail handling (SMTP with auth and SSL/TLS, POP, IMAP)
- actual cryptographic functions (AES, SHA, RSA)
- optimized(!) conversion routines for ASCII to HEX to ASCII
- graphics using DX9
- PDF functionalities (maybe for easy creating PDF's)
- basic HTTP support to download websites and files using HTTP and HTTPS(!)
- better bitmap-support (multipage TIF, PNG and GIF transparency)
- other official GUI elements:
--- text-editor control with RTF or HTML support and some features like font selection, size, style, wordwrap, margins, tabs.
--- property-control (similar to Visual-Studio)
--- editable grid (with image, text, date, checkbox and combo-fields)
--- command-bars (for MS-Office style button- and menubars)

I know that there are some existing user-librarys for some of those functions, but we need official and portable librarys (except DX9 features). Most of the user-libs are windows-only or are simply not migrated or available to Linux/MacOS.

Thanks for your attention.
