Can you separate keywords of darkbasic and "block keywords" like in the ide of the latest newsletter? I explain:

To me, keywords are : make object, texture object, load ...

block keywords are: do/loop
while
for next ....
it would be great (i think especially for using 2 different colors)

@DidRocks

Yes you can do this in the next version (not Beta 2). Do / Loop etc. will be called "Scope Keywords" and you can colour them independantly of the normal keywords.

Similar to IanM's suggestion: Make the Media list more versatile, ie something like a Tree View where you can move Media files from folder to folder or collapse folders to make them easier to view. Similarly the ability to add more then one media file at a time would be great.

One thing that is slightly annoying is the keywordsxxx.ini files are renamed to a format used by BLUE. Unfortunately, my web site wants the original file....

Its no real big deal, I can just re-link my website to the alternative .INI file - just though I'll let you know.

@TheCodingArea

It isn't my IDE doing this. The keywords files are not renamed, one of the other IDEs does this but not blue. All that BlueIDE does is to scan all of the keywords files, compile a list, remove duplicates and then save the list to the bluekeywords.ini file, leaving the original INIs intact.

@Exeat

Yup - definately agree. I have decided to replace the includes & media system with a "Project Explorer" - a treeview like VS where you can add and edit resources. The compiler also supports the ability to add entire media folders (ie. whatever is in that folder will be added to the exe when it is compiled). I will add this in a future version as well.

Awesome. Also, one more bug I came across: Can only compile when you're in the Main DBA file, otherwise it gives all sorts of funny errors.

I can compile from within any file here, but others have reported this problem.

Can you email me a project file showing this and if possible screenshots of the errors?

Strangely it's stopped doing it now. Don't know when exactly it stopped as I got into the habit of compiling in the Main file. I can describe the errors though, it was just things like:

"Cannot understand command 'itle' at line #"

And I beleive that was referring to the first line in the source I compiled from, which was:



If it starts happening again then I'll send the source, but at the moment I don't see the use. I'll also probe around a bit and try to get it to happen again. I suspect it's another combination of maybe adding a new source file and then compiling without saving or something.

Ok, I got somewhere with this bug, I added a new source file to my project that was just some made up code:



The compile info was:



I changed my new source to:



Error message was:



This message turned out to be a bit more useful, the previous source file's last 2 lines were:



That's also the very, very, last line on the source file so obviously it's merging the 2 together without adding a new line in between. The simple solution on my half means all I have to do is leave an empty line on the bottom of each source file and it will run. I tested this by adding an Enter after the "EndFunction" and it ran fine. Removed the enter, same error.

Problem found. Now it's your turn to fix it.

I don't see the need to send you a source file now but if you'd still like it, I'd be more then happy to send it.

Edit: Oh yes, and just reminding you, it still only errors when I try to compile from the new source I added. Any other source at all and it runs fine.

Thanks Exeat

I have a habit of leaving empty lines at the bottom of my source files so I didn't encounter the error.

In light of this, I will update the Beta 2 setup sometime this evening with a Beta 2b which fixes B2 bugs and adds Recent Items + AutoIndent. Then I can continue work on a new version which will feature the VS-style Project & Code explorers.

No problem. Just one little final request

Line Number correction from the debugger. Basically just correct the line number it outputs, provided you have access to all this information it shouldn't be too hard at all. The VB Code could look something like this:



I've tested that by manually inputting my source file numbers into the array slots and the error number the debugger told me and it works fairly well. It still gets it one or two lines off though but it's better then the one the DBP debugger gives.

Of course, if you do decide to implement it, you can do it however you like (this only took me about 5 minutes because I wanted to test the formula so it's probably not ideal), the formula still remains the same: Add up all the previous sources total line numbers and then subtract it from the line number the debugger gives. It's that simple.

lol, I guess this post shows how much free time I have on my hands... I really should leave the coding to you lol. I have no doubt you could probably find a more accurate and effecient way to achieve the same result.

Hi,

I just got an error on the compile/run, Run-time error '5' Invalid procedure call or argument, then the IDE closes itself.

I also find that when I compile/run my DBP app runs behind the IDE, the IDE takes focus after the run starts.

I downloaded the Beta 2 (7MB) last night.

p.s. I'm running Windows 98 SE.

Thanks!

Hi Lampton,

Does it make a difference if you use the Compile button instead of hitting F5?

DBP should bring itself to the fore, however there is probably an OS issue here.

Rob, I've got a small bug report.

If you type "Rem?" the editor sees it as a correct rem and so puts it all in italics, green, etc. The compiler returns an error as there is no space between the rem and the ?. It seems to be limited to symbols as "rema" is correctly understood by the editor not to be a remark. But "rem!" is also wrong.

Cheers

Philip

Thanks Philip, but there is nothing I can do about that I'm afraid, the editing component sees "?" and "=" as seperate tokens ("words").

Added some new features for next release.
Right click menu allows you to:
- Goto the Definition / Search for References to the function / var / type / label under the cursor ala. Visual Studio. GoBack allows you to easily return to the position in the code before you jumped around.
- Check File Path <- Check if the media path under the cursor is valid
- Open File <- Open the path under the cursor

In addition, saving of edit window setting & the Code Explorer window is coming along nicely.

Keep those bug reports coming folks - If you have VB and can compile the source code and get the line causing the error that would be very helpful.

I had noticed...

With the BBC, both ? and ! were commands (Useless fact #10023).

Totally unrelated to the REM? problem though...

Hi

Any updates beyond Beta 2 in the near future?

I still can't use your IDE because of the compiler errors I told you about in a previous thread (and email).

It does look good though - The code snippets function looks particularly handy

@rob k - I really like this IDE you've made. When I code I have a habit of always saving by ALT-F-S after changing the littlest things. Anyways, while the cursor remains on the same line, the page scrolls to the top so the cursor is at the bottom of the page--- know what I mean?

Also, could you add a maximize window button when viewing code snippets in its window?

Thanks,

- JeKu

Hi Scraggle,

Did I send you an updated version of the IDE?

You should be able to fix your problem just by replacing the underscores (___) with some other sign (====) in the comment above the label definition. Underscores are the concantation character.

There will certainly be an updated beta released in a few days time.

No you didn't.

I will change the underscores though and let you know if there is still a problem.

I have found another (very small) bug that you might want to know about.

I entered the command SET GADGET textureflag,#,#,#,# but the help bar (is that it's name?) at the bottom of the screen read the command as SET GADGET TEXT.

It's nothing major but I thought you might like to know.

Added macro support

Currently supported commands:

#variable_name=[Integer Value]
#variable_name=[variable_name]
#if [Boolean Expression, eg a=b, a=0]
#else
#endif

eg:

#release=0
#debug=1
#build=debug

#if build=debug
...
...
#else
...
...
#endif

Multiple levels of branching are supported.

Suggestions for other macro statements are welcome - The macro preprocessor is written as an editor plugin - source code will be provided

Your a star man

Here are some suggestions:
#ifdef and #ifndef
Do the #include too with include search paths like you have in C
Add the ability to automatically include symbols during compile

That last one needs a bit of explanation ...
- define DEBUG when compiled in debug mode
- define VERSION for the DBPro version number (eg 520 for the current version)

I like the auto-defined symbols idea

Not quite sure why #ifdef, #ifndef though, surely:

is the same as

One thing that would be nice, is when starting a new project, you can specify a set of commands that are inserted into the project before you start typing - specifically :

dot 0,0 : ` Basic2D
load object "",1 : ` Basic3D
load bitmap "",1 : ` Bitmap
autocam off : ` Camera
cls : ` Core
ftp connect "","","" : ` FTP
close file 1 : ` File
load image "",1 : ` Image
hide mouse : ` Input
delete terrain 1 : ` LODTerrain
delete light 1 : ` Light
delete matrix 1 : ` Matrix
delete memblock 1 : ` Memblock
free net game : ` Multiplayer
delete music 1 : ` Music
delete particles 1 : ` Particle
show window : ` Setup
delete sound 1 : ` Sound
sprite 1,0,0,1 : ` Sprite
disable systemkeys : ` System
text 0,0,"" : ` Text

Hi Rob,

firstly...sweet!

Here's a list of the issues I've found, I haven't had time to read the full thread so thety may already be reported...

Pressing F5 to compile always gets a message box "Your project is already being compiled", but does carry on and compile OK.

Bookmarks don't appear in the bookmarks list

The function list includes any line with the word function in, including comment lines

When you first open a project that was last edited using the standard DB Pro editor, it completes the executable filename wih the full path. When you compile, it repeats the path and refuses to go any further. The workaround is to manually remove the path.

Damn good work!

Found and fixed

Quote: "Bookmarks don't appear in the bookmarks list"


If you type in this line:
`-This_is_a_bookmark

Does it appear in the bookmarks list? Don't confuse CodeSense's built in "bookmarks" (which aren't very useful) with BlueIDE's ones. The line has to start with "`-" and there must be no space between the "-" and the start of the bookmark name.

Quote: "The function list includes any line with the word function in, including comment lines"


IanM found this one earlier. It's due to the rather stupid way I coded the comment etc. line detection. This is still on my to-do list. They appear in strings as well.

Hey Rob, good job.

I downloaded beta 2 to try and get my code working again, after U5.2 messed it up. I get this message when compiling...



I can't really make much sense of it, so I'm wondering if you can. I can run it in debug mode without the error, does it just skip some stage in the compiling process?

Thanks.

It means that the executable filename is invalid.

Change the exename to something else in the Project Tab - if there is any path information in the exename then delete it.

This is probably the same bug that BatVink found.

You would use the #ifdef and #ifndef to see if *any* value has been set ...

#ifndef MyValue
#MyValue=1
#endif

This would assign a value if a value has not already been set.

Another suggestion ... replace all of the #MyValue=1 lines with #constant MyValue=1. That way, you could join your pre-processor values with the DBPro text substitution.

Hi Rob,

a couple for you...

CLEAR ENTRY BUFFER doesn't auto capitalise, even though it is recognised as an opcode.

IF capitalises, but IF followed by THEN doesn't.

Cheers

EDIT:: Ignore all the above, the capitalisation has switched off, and I can't find the setting to switch it back on!

Merry XMas Everyone. Here is my Christmas present to the DarkBasic community.

Uninstall any existing version of BlueIDE on your PC before installing this version

BlueIDE Beta 2b: http://www.robertknight.me.uk/files/darkbasic/blueide_beta2b.exe (7.7MB - If this is too large for anyone here I can produce a cut-down version with no media browser / CHM Help etc.)

Full changelog:


> BlueIDE Beta 2b (23/12/03)
- Improved media browser
> Music / Sound / Animation support & miniplayer
> Media Information
> Fixed bug in 3D media display (slow speed)
- New vastly improved right-click menu:
> "Goto Definition " - jumps to declaration of identifier (function etc.) under cursor
> "Search for References" - searches for references to identifier under cursor
> "Go Back" - Return to your position in the code before you jumped using "Goto Definition"
> "Check Path" - Verifies path under cursor
> "Open File" - Opens path under cursor in default editing app
> "Preview in Media Browser" - Opens path under cursor in media browsers
> "Insert Path" - Browse for and enter a path. Returns relative path if possible, otherwise absolute.
> "Insert file contents" - Browse for ASCII text files and insert their content into the code
- Added recent items list (current limit = 10 recent items)
- Macro plugin: variable declaration & #if,#else,#endif statements
- Added "Open Project Folder" link on Project Tab
- Project Organisation items can now be re-ordered via a popup menu (accessed by dbl clicking on the item)
- IDE Color settings can now be saved - those who like their editors to be a ghastly matrix-green on black can now do so

- Many sub-forms now show as children of the main window - prevents them going behind main form
- Improved multilanguage support (Still not fully complete yet)
> Widened / adjusted various form elements to allow for longer text in other languages
- Unicode language files can now be loaded (but not displayed)
- Fixed bug changing main DBPro file name - confusion over relative/full paths
- Fixed media problems (media root path not specified in DBPro file)
- Fixed compiler loading problems (changed show mode to 1)
- Fixed bug where double click was required to update function parameter help
- Fixed bug where default Help page showed contents of help folder instead of main.htm
- Changed case of Intellisense-typed commands from upper to lower case.
- Fixed sporadic / rare bug where compiled exes could not find media when launched from BlueIDE
- Code box scroll position now remembered when saving / compiling
- Code edit window is now resizeable
- Improved speed of keywords update and added progress dialog
- Fixed sporadic bug where blue.exe would continue to run after main window was closed
- (Hopefully!) Fixed type-mismatch error when loading plugins, caused by non-agreeing object types
- Fixed bug where words like "function" would be detected even when inside strings, reorganised and tidied up code in this area for speed.
- Unable to fix bug where full exename paths were rejected by the compiler despite being valid. Beta 2b enforces relative paths for now,
until I can talk to Lee and find a way around the problem.


If I have not yet included your suggestion please do not worry. Exeat: I haven't included your line no# fix yet but I will do for the next major release.

It's been a great year - enjoy tommorrow folks
I'm off to assist "santa" with my little sis & bro. Cheers

Haven't tried the ide yet but I think I'll use it from now on as it looks really good. Happy xmas!

I have a suggestion too that I don't think is in it. How about highlighting a number of lines and a right click option to rem and unrem them? Saw this in a program I was using the other day.

Good idea - of course with macros you can just do this instead:

#if 0
[Code You Want To Remove]
#endif

Merry Christmas

I don't know if it's possible Rob, but if it is - would there be any chance of a collapse Gosub?

Thanks

I have started to use it for all dbpro development now
A couple of small niggles.

It would be nice if you could close the help viewer window by pressing the esc key, or any key that is easier than alt+f4

If you copy some text to the clipboard then go to paste it into the code editor and accidently hit ctrl+c instead of ctrl+v it wipes the text out of the clipboad even when no text is selected. It happens with ctrl+x as well.

Keep up the good work.

Clicking back in the source code window closes the help window on my system.

@the_winch,

As scraggle said, clicking in the code window will close Help as well. Although having the Escape key is also a good idea.

Hmm, I'll have to think on the copy issue. I think it is a bug in the editing component, I can probably work round it though.

Rob K - Love the new IDE One nitpicky request is for the default Tab length to be '3' instead of '4' because the original DBPro IDE's tab length is 3. If you import a project from the original and edit it, the tabs don't match up. Like a said, small nitpicky

Yes, its the IDE of choice now... Except when I'm using Visual Studio 2003 .Net Professional...

I've changed both DBPRO and DBA filetypes to point to Blue now.

Hi JekU,

Changed default tab size to 3 & Tab size setting in Code Window Preferences is now saved.
Also added support for subfolders in the Code Library and double clicking on an item will insert it into the edit window text.
