Dont want that.

If i would need that, i would use Delphi.
Others would use C/C++ or VisualBasic.

Why not let PB in the Old Style ??

Visual Editors can be made as addons/external appz
by PureBasic coderz,
so Frederic can concentrate on the language and the compiler.

Thx for your understanding

I have already discussed with Fred WHY its not possible to let all this simply to external people.

Take VB. You have don a Visual environment, compile the program, run it.
NOW you have to RELOAD it to change something.

All those "selfmade Visual Code Compilers CANNOT let you RELOAD code.
(Maybe they could use "REM-statements to do such things).

However, normally the ability to ReLoad earlier done Programs into an Visual Environment needs
interaction between the Visual-Tool and the compiled code, the surface and language-Definitions.

Please proof me wrong at any time and sent me an Visual Editor with this ability for PureBasic.
I really need one.

When you say "change something", you are referring to changing a gadget, yes?

Can you please explain what you mean by this? I don't quite understand...

The next version of "vis2pure" will let you edit your PureBasic forms without
losing any program code, if that's what you mean?

I still kept the Viual Editor fred made long ago, but need some modification to make it work now.

I want the way to link 32bit .RES in Win32 version, I use Lcc for a long time and get used to store RC externally.
However, it will break the cross-platform compatibility if use .RES.

Well, everyone needs to do something for living.

Yes PB, IMHO as long GUI code and 'normal' code are stored in separate files it must be possible.
The only tricky part is to not mess up the event stuff while changing the GUI.

Visual Environments don't have to compile code - it's done by the PureBasic compiler itself.

BTW: I have to do more testing with PureGUI (GUI and Event Wrapper) specially after the added possibilities of PureBasic v3.1, but I hope to release it in May.
Stay tuned.


Have a nice day...

Sometimes you have to go a lonely way to accomplish genius things.

Yes, that's how the next vis2pure works. No custom code written by the
user will be lost.
