VisualFBEditor - IDE for FreeBasic

[Xusinboy Bekchanov]

Did I miss something to update my VisualFBEditor?

To compile a new version, you need to set MyFbFramework corresponding to the version.
To do this, in the project properties "Controls/MyFbFramework" must be replaced with "E:\Learning\FreeBasic\VisualFBEditor-Nightly\Controls\MyFbFramework"


Otherwise, during compilation, the MyFbFramework library from the IDE folder is included: "E:\Learning\FreeBasic\VisualFBEditor.1.3.5\Controls\MyFbFramework"

What's the standard procedure to do this?

To do this, you can use DownloadAndCompileWithQuestions.bat from the VisualFBEditor folder.

Done.Thank you.
If “include path” window in IDE accept relative path (relative to "The project<root folder>"as well,it should be great.

May I expect any examples for common libraries developed & used in the projects,say containers,string manipulations,etc. will be available in the future?So that I can adventure/learn FB in one place.

By the way,it is really great to see VisualFBEditor has more and more examples in the project.This recalls me when I was adventuring wxwidgets and QT,their rich demos/samples folder provides almost everything you want to know about the library,every detail about every component.

Improved: The IDE looks for Components first in the project folder:

These examples are in the compiler folder. And in the IDE directory there is a Compilers folder. If you install a compiler there, you can see all the examples regarding the FreeBASIC language.
I think that in the VisualFBEditor folder there should be examples regarding the IDE, and in the MyFbFramework folder there should be examples regarding only the library itself.

Yes, these examples are added by users and contributors of the IDE and library, thanks to them for this. I think that over time there will be more examples.

Hi,

I give a try to compile with GTK3 under Windows and thats what I get :

D:\FreeBASIC-1.10.0-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0\inc\win\windef.bi(115) error 4: Duplicated definition, max in '#define max(a, b) iif((a) > (b), (a), (b))'
D:\FreeBASIC-1.10.0-winlibs-gcc-9.3.0\inc\win\windef.bi(116) error 4: Duplicated definition, min in '#define min(a, b) iif((a) < (b), (a), (b))'

VisualFBEditor.bas(317) warning 3(2): Passing different pointer types, at parameter 4 of SETTIMER()
VisualFBEditor.bas(356) warning 3(2): Passing different pointer types, at parameter 4 of SETTIMER()

VisualFBEditor.bas(459) warning 3(2): Passing different pointer types, at parameter 4 of SETTIMER()
VisualFBEditor.bas(632) warning 3(2): Passing different pointer types, at parameter 4 of SETTIMER()

Not very sure that the error come from VisualFBEditor...

mmf.bi compile well and give a mff64_gtk3.dll

Something to do ?

Regards.

Fixed: Compiling with GTK on Windows:

When I installed this GTK3 Runtime it worked well, otherwise for several days I could not start the IDE with GTK3 in Windows:

Great!

But when I compiled & built the latest IDE and try to compile Bass sample in the example folder,the compiler complianed can't find mmf/form.bi.

Yes,sure. just a personal impression when I adventured wxwidgets,it's samples folder is so rich almost every component/wxLibraries can be studied in deep.

It works now.Appreciated.

I found that the documention of MyFrameWork(click from Help) actually is not available in my copy."Not available"means when clicking on many many of the links of the topics,say "Animate","TextBox",etc. but got nothing detailed information.

Documentation has not yet been fully written for all controls.

The wiki is updated over time. All the properties, methods and events of the components have been added, but the definition of all of them has not yet been added:

MyFbFramework.chm has also been updated.

Hello, I created an editor for FreeBasic based on the library MyFbFramework. MyFbFramework is based on Nastasa Eodor 'FBGUI, the library has been expanded and cross-platform added.
VisualFBEditor is also cross-platform, there is the possibility of a designer, debugging, project support, etc.
For debugging, I used the codes of SARG .
Many thanks to the creators of FreeBasic, separately to SARG and Nastasa Eodor.
And I am waiting for help for the development of the library MyFbFramework.

Releases here:
https://github.com/XusinboyBekchanov/My ... k/releases
https://github.com/XusinboyBekchanov/Vi ... r/releases

There is no executable file only source code.

Here are the executable files:

Sorry but that's not what appears on the same exact file I downloaded from that URL.

On that note why would I lie about something like this as you implied. If I said I found no executables is because there are no executables on my end.

You are looking at the MyFbFramework.1.3.5 library. You should be looking at VisualFBEditor.1.3.5
