Re: Recommended settings for FBIde users

Probably the best way to request this is through a Pull Request on Github. Is that something you're able to do?

Re: Print Using \\ doc

Thanks. I've reworked it a little to try and explain more clearly what happens. I've also added a note to mention that strings are padded or truncated on the right.

Re: Pure FB Runtime Library (in progress)

The lack of a direct replacement for C's logical not operator has proved to be a nuisance. Not() by itself doesn't really work when all sorts of functions return longs valued 0 and 1. And Not(CBool()) is just no. The compiler tends to use (… = False), I think. Note that it’s not a great idea to use...

Re: Unable to Input line 88 for variable A7

I can't easily tell without copy/pasting into a text editor, but I'm guessing this is the code starting at line 88: Input A7 A7=3:S3=1 ... Whatever value Input gives A7, it will assigned a value of 3 immediately after. EDIT: or maybe it's here? PRINT "Will FreeBasic accept A7 input twice and no...

Re: Is safe to save pointers in an integer array?

I agree with fxm that Any Ptr is the most appropriate kind of datatype for storing varying kinds of pointers. My suggestion would be to make a Typedef once for Any Ptr (perhaps also for Sub/Function As ... or anything else you need), then you can use the Typedefs everywhere you need to in code. You ...

Re: Blowfish does not work

Where has the code come from?
Does it work if you replace Uinteger with Ulong?

Re: Video & Audio data base & Player

Sounds interesting.
Instead of mplayer, you could try ffplay (part of ffmpeg), with the -autoexit flag.

Re: Wiki improvements

coder Jeff I tried a while ago to build fbide from source. One has to get the exact mingw and the exact dev-c++ and the exact wx widgets. (looks like) I used the makefile provided with a different mingw (can't remember, 4xx something), I nearly got there. I was going to do away with tolower() in th...

Hi visualfreebasic5, It’s great to see this IDE progressing. Unfortunately I have to ask you please to change the background image in your screenshot.

Re: Unexpected String behavior

Yeah, it sounds like maybe an old version problem. 'byval as string' used to do something much less intuitive. In this case, I suspect the "More" constant string data is probably being overwritten in memory when "is Less" is appended to "Less". String data: 0 1 2 3 4 5 ...

Re: SELECT CASE error

Good find. An unhelpful error message might be worthy of a bug report, rather than just a documentation note.
