Hi,

I made a VISUAL IDE in VB for Rapid-Q and it easy for my to translate it for Pure Basic, but i have read that some other guys are just developing some and i don't want to make anything that disturb the Pure Basic Community.
Can anybody tell me if i can do it or not?

I can have a BETA IDE in a week or less...

Thanks

Don't worry about "disturbing" the PB community... the more apps we get for the language, the better.

OK, im gonna make the changes and release it.

Im gonna do it in steps:

1.- The easy and speed change i can make i to release a first version that
give SKELETON of the interface. Without any other additional code.
User will need to open th e resulting skeleton and add their codes.

2.-Then i will add the functions, etc. Then when you make a gadget in the VISUAL IDE, you only need to rightclick each gadget and add there their respective code with some wizards. My Rapid-Q version does it, but i need to translate it to Pure Basic.

If anybody want to contact me to talk about it, please sned me an email to: [url]mailto:ricardoarias@yahoo.com[/url]

Tthanks

Well, the first step is DONE.
download the very first pre alpha version at:

http://www.pro-software.com.ar/pbvisual.zip

you will need the VB stuff (runtimes) to run it.
Get it at download.com or any other VB site.

I was wondering if some one could make some application that transalates VB code to Pure Basic, its not TO hard and it will be very usefull sine VB has tons of examples.
Maybe Fred could make it

I hope everybody give me feedback in this VISUAL IDE, i need it

Thanks

I will update it almost every day, then keep in touch

I am using Win2000 and your IDE doesn't always seem to free itself from memory when you exit the application. If I check the Task Manager, there could be 4 or 5 instances of it still in memory from the last session.

Hi,
i've tested and played with your IDE for Purebasic.
For a first Beta it looking good and some nice features (GRID-Align) are implemented.
And it is easier for me to test the PureBasicCompiler.
(And he crashes with an Image-Gadget)

First of all, I'm a serious pro. coder since vb1 and know all about VB.

Most of the coders know VB and if a IDE is VB_alike (and a bit better) it is easy to use and understand.

Some Tips:
1) Put all Gadget-Types (Command,Check,OPtions, Text etc...) into a seperate Form.
2) scan the form for keystrokes (Form.Keypreview=true ) and scan for Delete (=8) for deleting
any gadgets.
3)Add Load/Save for any Form.
4)Programm MDI alike to use more than 1 Form on the Screen.(See VB-Examples)
5)Use a Resourcefile to implement more than one Language.(See VB-Examples)
6)Use a shape to retangle a bunch of gadgets (Okay this is a very pro part)
7)Use RTF as Code-Container (It's easier to color Keywords and Syntax)

If you have any questions about the points, remail me.

-Grid Align was suggested by PAUL

-Image don't write the ImageID() at this moment

When I try to use your Edit Menu feature, the whole IDE freezes up when I try to close the Edit Menu box.

Also if I press 'Del All' and then the 'Insert' button, the program crashes with a 'Run Time Error 381' Invalid property array index.
