Well it has a menustrip, but look slike it is missing the ListIconGadget()
Still look intresting... but does it independently compile PB?
Seems that would be wrong somehow!
{{EDIT}} No it uses the PB Compiler...
Now the real question... does it somehow manage to step around the unregistered compiler limitations?

what I thought when looking at the screenshot:
is this VD-Panel forced into this tiny size, or could it be maximized as a second window?
if this tiny only, I would call it "almost useless", sorry.

Looks interesting, hope it gets farther than Woken did.
Still, I think I'll stick with what I know works, the official PureBasic IDE and Visual Designer.
Though I may look at PureFORM sometime.

Looks good, except that it can't decide if it wants to be German or English.

Also, without an ability to save the code it's pretty useless so far.
BTW, why is this off-topic? Nothing was ever more on-topic!

btw, it is alpha software NOT a finished product.

Who's building it? Someone here active on the forums, or the (in)famous unknown?

He/She is definitely a German - the comments in the code are in German
BTW: There seems to be a problem with Scintilla.NET and Vista x64 - it always causes
a crash that I tried to understand - no way, it simply doesn't work on Vista

Bugger me that looks cool!
Have I read this correctly - runs on .NET?
Still, it has a loooong way to go yet!

I think its for x86 only but its not that hard to convert to x64. I like the feel of its visual designer like in MS VS 08 very smooth and has intelligent snap and resizing.
Its opensource so its good.

lol, I had the Idea of a PureBasic IDE programmed in C#, too, while playing around with C#, in that way... (but now the idea turned around, building an Linux-only IDE

)
But out of the Screenshots, it doesn't seem to be more useful than the normal IDE. Not really amazing.
