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 :P

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. 8)

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 8) )
But out of the Screenshots, it doesn't seem to be more useful than the normal IDE. Not really amazing.
