Ya, he's getting back into fbide development. And has some pretty interesting plans.

take it from someone who knows these guys... there all completely stuck up there own asses. there a self contained backwater, and like any isolationist group they dislike outsiders. a logical argument really doesn't matter to these guys , like victor said nothing short of a perfectly function qb clo...

if your witting a scripting language, then it wouldn't be really hard to attempted multitasking that way using a round robin table. where your interpreter switching between scripts to be excluded. that how all the little QB GUI shells projects worked. they compiled a byte code language and had a int...

come on the offtopic sub form was a ticking time bomb, there no easy way to moderate a form like that since your going to Πss of a segment of the members no matter what you do.. and if you leave Π$/- of people to there own devices long enough it spill over to the other forms in one big overly dramat...

if offtopic was becoming to much of a hassle to mange then removing it was a good idea. really in the end offtopic really was kind of an oddity for the flagship forum of Freebasic , it never really contributed anything to the forum as a whole it was just a junk yard of well crap.. really that type o...

simplest way to do this is to shell out to ftp .exe a nice little tool that comes with windows (although to be honest i have no clue if XP (although i think it has it) or vista as this nice little tool) anyways ftp .exe has a nice little switch -s that allows the program to execute instruction from ...

indeed005 the guy just wants to get his program running so its perfectly acceptable to advise someone of a quick and fast way to edit the code to get it to run. besides look at the code it isn't really all the clean to begin with so changing a letter here or there isn't going to be all that big a de...

its impossible to help with out code to reproduce the seg fault. your going to have to upload the source to your program somewhere otherwise its pointless.

he is talking about playing with windows API direct for windowing apps which in general is hellish process because of windows $%#@ API (just my opinion)

anyways it can be easy with a good lib to clean things up.

how to use command line ? well in theroy you don't need to touch command line and can just use an editor like fbide that will do that for you but its really not all that hard cd C:\program files\Freebasic ' i belive this is the defult for the installer fbc foo.bas which outouts foo.exe some of the u...

i think we finally hit a bit of a wall with sourcing QB tutorials, pre .17 it was more or less fine since some of the evils of QB programming style were still a semi legitimate part of FB. but now days with the default lang -fb i feel a bit uneasy even telling newbies about the -lang qb option in fe...

you should be fine with the introductory QB stuff , array , basic UDT type stuff. but there are a few things to look at for when you do dive into some of the old QB tutorials , i.e. tutorials that take advantage of implicit variables i.e. not diming a varible , FB doesn't like this in its defult lan...

remerico kind of already here in the newest version. not to the extend i would call it full OO but there enough to do real OO like structure. i.e. Type foo private: X as integer =>10 Y as integer =>20 Public: declare Function Sum() end type function foo.Sum() Return X+Y end function Dim F as Foo pri...

i sometimes do a very simplistic flow chart of what will happen showing the function that will be used and how it should all work.. but in the end normaly it ends of being hacked togather while i'm doing it.

even the most well planed project will be hacked togather at some point.

it wouldn't break compatibility exactly, but you would be introducing a whole new way to do the same thing. and if you wished it to solve the ambiguity problem then you're introducing an exception to () i.e. () will work like [] expected when in classes in which case you must use []. it that or comp...
