Maybe you are using an outdated version of mdTypes... Do you remember the download url? Maybe you can try to update it from one of the provided sources.

1. 2 .0 or 1. 20 .0? Are you talking about the Recent-Git-Builds ? These are inofficial builds from the current state of the repository. These might have bugs or something has changed (breaking changes) so that the mdTypes code doesn't work anymore. The official releases are listed here: https://fre...

Well, it's not really maintained anymore. Lots of years ago I've tried to "pass" it to the FreeBASIC community by renaming all modules to create a "generic" version, but it was never added. I almost don't use FreeBASIC these days, so I'm not improving or testing the code with new...

All I can tell you now is to check the sources. Within the plugins folder, you will find some examples of how to develop a plugin for wxFBE. Using the plugin system (which is based on https://freebasic.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21217), you can get access to the scintilla editor (getSTCPtr wi...

As you can see, it's for all types as it's not only containing Strings but itself. Check the examples.

#Include Once "md/util/mdList.bi" mdListDeclare(String) mdListDeclare(mdListString) Dim As mdList(String) strings1 strings1.add("1") strings1.add("2") strings1.add("3") Dim As mdList(String) strings2 strings2.add("4") strings2.add("5") str...

I'll try to explain algo 5, but it's quite some years ago, so it might be not 100% correct: Algo 5 was introduced to get a "better" random number. Basically, it uses the default algo 3 Mersenne Twister but uses CryptApi or /dev/urandom as additional initial value. Both APIs are a bit slow ...

The reason my Variant works this way is, that at the time I wrote it, there was no Extends keyword and everything related to it. Furthermore you cannot overload the Select Case statement for your own datatypes, it always demands a FB primitive datatype and doesn't trigger the overloaded Cast As &quo...

Well, I'm using it too on my PC and notebook. It's my main IDE, even though I'm still Π$/- I've never added the function browser.^^ It runs very well on Win7+8(.1)+10. But as I don't use any productive Linux (except for servers without any GUI) I cannot tell, if it still works well. Maybe St_W can a...

That's true, wxFBE is an IDE with an integrated GUI designer, which works on Windows and Linux. However, the Linux builds are pretty old, I didn't get many people to test it, so it might not (but is supposed to) build anymore (and it was never really easy to build it on Linux because of all the depe...

There's an old project of mine: Variant This allows you to store strings, integers and doubles in one datatype (you have to remove the ucase and lcase overloads from the Variant.bi as FB changed these recently). In combination with mdTypes you can achieve what you want: #Include Once "Variant.b...

mdTypes also provides some Map classes . Simple example code: #Include Once "md/util/mdMap.bi" mdMapDeclare(String, String) Dim As mdMap(String, String) map Dim As String temp temp = map.put("key1", "value1") temp = map.put("key2", "value2") temp = ...

The download contains a lot of examples and test codes and the linked tutorial is hosted by a german site but is written completely in english.

mdTypes also offers a feature like that, and also uses the same interfaces for MySQL and a simple file based data format: mdTypes persistence api tutorial

There's wxFBE which comes with windows/linux support and also an GUI designer. Just have a look at it, but to be honest, currently I'm not working at it as not many people are using it.
