"Very similar to Visual Basic" I like the way VB (and Jabaco), when you double click the widget, creates a sub and puts the cursor right where you need to be coding for that widget or event. Make it do that and I'll use it for sure. Visual C# does the same thing and it makes life very eas...

I'll have a complete visual designer (100% winapi based) ready for the community very soon. Very similar to Visual Basic. I really hope that once it's out that it will make creating Windows based applications much easier.

I would also like to see a new official FB release.

The best place to save your data would be in WM_DESTROY just prior to your PostQuitMessage. You could also have put it in WM_NCDESTROY. Some people put cleanup code immediately following the main message loop but that is usually frowned upon especially if you are interacting with GUI elements that m...

Further to what Zippy has said, here is what I use in my manifests: <trustInfo xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v2"> <security> <requestedPrivileges> <requestedExecutionLevel level="asInvoker" uiAccess="false" /> </requestedPrivileges> </security> </trustInfo>

marcov, I agree totally that Win7 is really only an improved Vista. On my machine the stability is much improved over Vista and it doesn't seem as "sluggish". Maybe I just want to believe that Win7 is better and I have convinced myself of that because Vista was horrible on my machine. I ha...

Windows 7 is leaps and bounds better/stable than Vista. Very happy happy that I upgraded.

@McLovin That's not true. I've already delivered some contributions to FreeBasic (see some of my previous postings, e.g. bindings & examples for a PDF library, a plotting library and a glade converter for FreeBasic). ..... //haegar Yes, right you are. Sorry about that haegartheroot - I apologiz...

Sounds like yet another lazy person wanting someone else to do all of the work. Don't just talk about any shortcomings, put some effort into changing the situation. This is open source and requires a bit of effort from everyone to keep it current. These doom and gloom posts about the demise of FB ar...

Thansk mathwizard44 and stylin, really appreciate the answers. However, some C code uses structs like the above in such a way as to have a variable-length array field, where the elements themselves are located in the same memory allocated for the struct itself stylin - I think that you're spot on wi...

i have been converting some C code and i am not 100% sure how to handle code like the following:
How is the "items[1]" converted to FB? Is it an array of 1 or 2 short values?

I hope so!!!

OMG AGS, I am working on a very similar project! Over Christmas I was porting LEMON parser to FB but got to the stage of building the tables and then I got a little lost in the C code. I am keeping most of the LEMON port but I am now combining it with BYacc code to create the tables. The resulting g...

A new version of the JellyFB Editor is available from the PlanetSquires website. The download link is available on this page: http://www.planetsquires.com/jellyfishpro_freebasic.htm This version does a better job of dealing with the compiler's output and displaying compiler errors. It also creates a...

Hi SARG, Thanks for the new version. I will try it out more tomorrow when I have more time. In the meantime, I think that maybe you can modify your resource file to eliminate the hard coded paths to the images. Try the following: 1 ICON "fbdebugger.ico" 1000 BITMAP DISCARDABLE "./butt...

When I checked out CB I learned that he also wrote Emergence Basic... also gone. I heard that he had another "Aurora" (a C like language) that he sold off for $1500.
