Possilbe problem with the latest one (Although i've only just noticed it)

if you have a keyword like else or endif and you cursor right into it or cursor left into the command, it starts to fight back either jumping to the end of the line or the end of the keyword and basically gets stuck. Doesnt seem to do it for blue keywords or variables that are fixed case.

It's been mentioned before I believe.

Thanks Rob, my plugin is now working like a charm, I just need to make it a bit easier to use and a little bit more functionality and hopefully it will be that little bit better then the default Intellisense in BlueIDE.

Edit: I've just spent the last hour or so toying around with writing plugins, they really have the potential to become quite powerful. You can manipulate basically anything within the IDE. Great work.

I have just one question though, is VB.Net supported? I don't think it would be because BlueIDE is written in VB6 and I don't think that can load VB.Net DLL's. However, it's worth a try I guess.

Error reporting is much better now. It consistantly highlights the line after the error.

Hi,
I get runtime error 5 when pressing pf1 over menu plugin commands. Have tried debug mode - log attached along with menu keywords file.

hope this helps

If it ain't broke - try harder.

Fixed. Crash occurs if no help file exists for a keyword.

@jasuk70

It was originally designed as a useability feature, when auto-loop complete is enabled, it allows you to easily navigate to the end of the ENDIF etc. and create a new line afterwards.
I'll probably disable it for the final release though if people find it more annoying than helpful.

Tried the lastest build and it's working great.

The "Allways open in seperate window" help option is being saved but, when I reopen an existing project it clears the option. The help still opens in a new window until I exit when it presumably saves it as off because the option is blank.

Also anychance the help window could save it's size and position.

@Rob K

I'm using the very latest version - per your post on 31 Jan. Can I just say that this IDE is such a boon to the development of my project and, indeed, my sanity and health in general that you are right at the top of my Christmas card list. And thats high praise because its very difficult writing cards with a paw.

Anyway two small points:

1. I'm afraid "case default:" is still not being recognised correctly. The "case" part is fine and is displayed in the correct colour but the "default:" part is shown in the default text colour, i.e. the same colour as, say, x = x + 1 would be shown in.

2. "Seperate" is spelt "sepArate"

Cheers

Philip

Hi Philip,

1. I can set the word DEFAULT to be shown in the standard keyword colour, but not the scope keyword color.

2. Whoops.

Hi,
I might be going mad but I'm sure i used to be able to highlight a word and hit ctrl+f3 to search for the next occurence.

It just gives me the search box now.

Sorry to be a pain

There is no "FIND NEXT" option, just hit F3, press FIND and it will go to the next occurence of the word. Alternatively, use the project search box (Edit > Search > Search Project), and you can navigate through occurences easily.

Very Strange problem I think to do with fix up case.

Paste the following code into the Editor



Position the cursor before the = in the second function and the type Mx (Not that the case is different to the LOCAL in the first function)

2 things happen 1, a local variable in one function shouldnt be taken into account in the second. 2, the line turns into:

=MOUmXSEX()

Sorry to be a pain.

I think it would be good to have the "default" shown in some kind of distinctive colour so even the keyword colour would be good.

Nice work guys .. Testing RC1 ..

Bugs:-

- Tools .. IDE preferenences .. save on compile .. doesn't do anything .. The menu option "save on compile" works ..
- If I modify an existing function and I press enter after the end of the function name and parameters .. it puts an EXTRA end function
- Under Project -> Help tab - > request help in forums doesn't do anything ..



Features needed:-

Ide Options
- Place * by the file tab when the file is modified ..
- Backup files .. ability to have 4 backup files every time u save .. bak1..
- Auto format existing code ( the ones that were written using DB Pro editor ).. putting proper spaces in functions and capping all keywords.. it should be right click option when you select your code ..
- Code folding like the DB PRO IDE
-Help should be on the same tab as the files that way you get a better view .. too crowded where it is now ..
- IDE should be customizable .. Tabs on bottoms .. Project Window on left insetad of right ..

Project Options
- Ability to change dll files that are linked with Dark Basic Pro executable ie 2D, 3D.. Basically have an option to move dll files that aren't needed inside plugins folder to plugins-back-up temporarely during compile .. You can save upto 2mb that way ..

Installer
- It should install in c:program filesblueide by default.. Not c:program filesprogrammingblueide ..

If you are looking for more features that will make the editor better:- Check out http://www.jcreator.com .. This is an excellent Java IDE

Re: Feature Suggestions

Quote: "- Place * by the file tab when the file is modified .."

Good idea

Quote: "- Backup files .. ability to have 4 backup files every time u save .. bak1.."

Good idea - will not make it in for the v1.0.0 release though.

Quote: "- Auto format existing code ( the ones that were written using DB Pro editor ).. putting proper spaces in functions and capping all keywords.. it should be right click option when you select your code .. "


Yes - this should really be a plugin rather than an inbuilt feature though

Quote: "- Code folding like the DB PRO IDE "

I'm afraid that BlueIDE will probably never have code folding. Its a technical limitation.

Quote: "-Help should be on the same tab as the files that way you get a better view .. too crowded where it is now .."

Surely placing the help on the same tab as the files would make it even more crowded?

Quote: "- IDE should be customizable .. Tabs on bottoms .. Project Window on left insetad of right .. "

Several others have suggested this to. I will look into adding it.

Quote: "- Ability to change dll files that are linked with Dark Basic Pro executable ie 2D, 3D."

The compiler does this automatically depending on what commands are in your source code. If you don't include 3D commands, the 3D DLL will not be included. Another forum user has already written a utility to do this though - does anyone have the link?

Quote: "It should install in c:program filesblueide by default.. Not c:\program files\programming\blueide .."

I'm afraid that I strongly disagree about that, you can alter the path though - what do others think?

I catagorise all of my applications, like this:

C:\Program Files\Games\Quake3
C:\Program Files\Multimedia\iTunes
C:\Program Files\Applications\Mozilla

And the same with the Start Menu, I find this far more logical and much easier to navigate that having all 400 folders straight under Program Files.

Actually no it doesn't .. Tested with a small program non 3d.... the file was approx 2 mb smaller with normal exe option when I used the program `dll move` that one of the members in the forum created ..

Yes it does, what the DLL mover *does* do that the compiler currently *does not* do, is that it moves out all of the 3D model conversion DLLs which are currently included regardless. (which total about 2mb) The actual 3D DLL itself is only included if 3D commands are used in the source.

Quote: "Help should be on the same tab as the files that way you get a better view "


Actually that's a point - I'm confused by exactly what you mean when you say "file" tab - Do you mean the Project tab (where you specify includes), the "Media" tab, or the "Library" tab?. They are all equally wide.

What I mean by the help is you shouldn't have one as a tab .. In the menu is fine enough .. If the user presses F1 then you load help page, the same way as a source code file instead of opening a seperate window for it.

Also can you have an option to have empty workspace .. Instead of this loading up something .. Have it in the ide preferences where you have the option, "open most recent project "

Bug:-
Tools -> Rebuild keywords -> gives me runtime error '5' .. unknown proc ..

Compile -> Compile & Run does the same as Compile Only & Run Only

Auto Ident -> Doesn't work properly in functions or nested statements .. ie ..
fucntion x
for x
if x then
|-> shows cursor here instead of x spaces forward
end if
end x
end x

Exe file -> it is being stored in temp directory instead of acutall project directory ?

I changed it to install in "C:\Program Files\BlueIDE" but don't really care where it installs to by default as long as I can change it.

Is there any way to see the source joined together as it is sent to the compiler?
If there isn't it would be nice to have because when you get a runtime error on line x and you have mulitple source files it's very difficult to find the line with the error on.

The standard for most applications will install to the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Company\Application

I personally just use:
C:\Program Files\Application

This is because when I navigate to a folder in Explorer I'll type the name rather then going through folder by folder, and it saves me more time by having less subfolders. On a side note, I also use:
C:\Games\GameName

So only Programs are under Program Files, it's all personal preference though and because you can change it I see no point in even bothering setting the default to something else. Having said that though, I actually installed BlueIDE to:

C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Professional\BlueIDE

That is not valid DarkBASIC syntax! - if statements are written either as :

if a=b then do_something()

or

if a=b
dosomething()
endif

Plus there it should read "endif", not "end if"

Ah, I understand now. I'll consider it for future addition after the release version.

Sure, just change the default.dba file in the BlueIDE Install Folder\Templates directory.

I'm sorry, I don't quite understand the bug from the pseudo-code you posted.

If you type IF expression THEN statement, the following line will not be indented. If statement is missing, the line will be indented, but its not valid DB syntax.

If you type IF expression, the following line will be indented.

Quote: "Any ideas how to fix this ?"

The exe is always stored in the project directory, unless its name is temp.exe

Quote: "What I mean is to load up nothing .. You have to manually load a project."


But nothing is loaded up at the moment - just the default template which you can change. If you are referring to the empty "Untitled 1" tab, that is always going to be there.

Quote: "Is that fixed ?"


I couldn't reproduce the bug I'm afraid. The only way to sort these issues out is a discussion over IM.

Quote: "Why is this technical limitation since isn't it the same as cut and paste .."


No, its not the same as cut and paste. This would make life very difficult as you would have to keep track of all the snippets, know where they belong in which source file at what line, you'd have to reinsert them all at compile time, and when the file was saved. If this doesn't happen on just one occassion - *poof* the source is gone. All-in-all a recipie for disaster and source-loss / source mis-location.

Every editor that I know which implements this feature does it by instructing the code display area not to draw a given line of code to the screen. The code is still there in its buffers, it is just not drawn. The CodeSense component which BlueIDE uses does not provide any methods to hide/show lines.

@Wik

I have fixed the exclamation mark bug (I told you already), I have considered the other options, and they may be added *after* the release version.

I've just tried to set the screen resolution to 1024x768x16 using the settings tab but the colour depth doesnt seem to make any difference, i.e. it always stays at 32 bit.

I believe you can assign shortcuts in the 'edit styles' diag box but it doesn't seem to be working fully... I think.

Major change today.

Whereas previously the editor would load all project files, this caused slowdown when saving, compiling and generally with larger projects (>10 include files).

I have now redone a few parts of the editor so that only the main source file is loaded when you first start the IDE, if you wish to edit other source files, just select their name from the dropdown list. This is like the default editor.

I have also added a proper Third-Party DLL browser, if you click the plugin information button, a dialog now pops up showing you the commands in the DLL, parameters, return types and syntax (if the author has included syntax info in the DLL).

Will post what I hope will be the final RC over the weekend, if all goes well BlueIDE version 1.0.0 will be released early next week.

Found a little bug:

Loaded blue.
typed in a simple spinning cube program
compiled - ran ok on ati radeon 9000
copied exe to wifes laptop with S3 Savage gfx card.
Error came up - invalid display mode depth.

Looked at project settings for windowed mode - selected resolution - colour depth wasn't checked.
Checked 32 bit - recompiled and ran ok on both machines.

I don't know how many machines this might effect.

Just thought I'd raise it so maybe a default value could be popped in

Cheers

If it ain't broke - try harder.

Try the 1.0.0 Release Candidate version.

I made some changes which should make plugins load more reliably.

Karlos - that looks like a hardware/software program - the laptop probably doesn't have enough video memory for a 32-bit display.

TCA - It works though when 32bit is checked on the project options.

It's when neither 16 or 32 bit are selected it crashes.

Laptop probably tries to set to bit depth 0.

Serves me right for buying the wife a cheap laptop

If it ain't broke - try harder.

recommend including your dll updater tool with the main download with instruction for "in case of failure try this". Yes, I had the .ocx error too and that fixed it.

I Like this IDE and it loaded my projects just fine... well, minor stuff, but the original ide had problems loading them too. Sometime it would "forget" that some files are part of the project. That's probably the problem here, the default forgot and your editor never knew

Another odd thing... minor tho
why does the help always pop-up over the screen even if its on the side bar? Could you have it so it one or the other or maybe a toggle?

@waffle

I would always advise saving the project after adding a new include / existing include.

@Karlos

Fixed the bug - now set to 32bit colour by default.

Release Candidate 3
==============================================
You need Beta 2 installed to run this version.

Changelog:

- Changed the way Goto Definition now works, it now uses a browse info file automatically created as necessary, enabling closed files to be browsed
- Only the main file is now loaded when a project is first opened, making work faster and easier with larger projects
- Full screen res now has 32bit colour depth specified by default
- Added progress info to help search
- Project comments working (finally!)
- Help viewer mode now saved
- Help view tab no longer shows "Page Not Found" site if no help file exists for a command
- Added a proper viewer for 3rd party plugin DLLs. Clicking "Plugin Information" now shows name, DLL name, parameters, return value & syntax (if specified)
- Search project dialog now shows line text next to each item for easier identification
- Added print dialog
- Macro processor now much faster. (VB slows down quite a bit with huge strings,
so I changed the system to use an array of smaller strings instead)
- Changed the way error line identification works as a result of change #2 (above)
- Many other bug fixes & tweaks

Known Issues
============
- The line number tracking does not take concantation into account.
- The "Default Project Folder" setting under IDE preferences doesn't do anything at the moment (see below)

Download: BlueIDE Release Candidate 3

*Note*
I do not intend to add any more major features before the version 1.0.0 release. I may add an auto configure project option, its half-completed but no guarantees.

Nice to have features after RC3 ..

1) Add * when file is modified code
2) Hightlight ( and ) when cursor is near them
3) Add external files and source files to opened in editor without it creating new project ..

Major features:-
1) Dockable & Resizable & Moveable windows and project window
2) Office XP Sytle Menus .. New Ones .. Their is VB code floating around that can do it ..
3) Is it possible to have sample sytle layout as Visual Studio Solution Explorer

Project ( Card Game )
Source Files
test.db
1.db
Resource Files
ghad.wav
2adsf.bmp


- When you click on resource files it pops open a resource .. If image and image popups up ..
- Project Options go in the menu .. When u click it, it pops up a dialog telling all the options ..
- Help offcourse could be removed since it is their in the menu ..

- Help viewer mode now saved
It's still broke unfortunatly, when I open an existing project it clears the radio buttons in the help tab causing it to save the wrong options when I exit blueide.

- Added a proper viewer for 3rd party plugin DLLs. Clicking "Plugin Information" now shows name, DLL name, parameters, return value & syntax (if specified)

Thanks for adding that, any chance you could not make it so it has a proper size close button or an easier method of closing than a tiny button.
There are also a few other dialogs with no obvious method of closing other than the tiny [x].

Also if I open a project modify it and save it when I open another project it will show a dialog asking me if I want to save the project I just saved, also the dialog has no cancel button.

Quote: "Whereas previously the editor would load all project files, this caused slowdown when saving, compiling and generally with larger projects (>10 include files).

I have now redone a few parts of the editor so that only the main source file is loaded when you first start the IDE, if you wish to edit other source files, just select their name from the dropdown list. This is like the default editor."


Could you have an option to change it back to the way it was or only not open all the include files if there are a more than a certain number or are over a certain size. Having to manually load all the include files was a pain in the default ide and even though it is easier in bide it is still a pain.

The project oganisation window also has white areas on it, see
http://winch.dbspot.com/temp/proj.jpg
I am running win2k if it makes any difference.

Sorry about the almost entirly negative post

- Fixed the Help view mode bug
- Fixed the save message bug
- Added an "Open All Includes" link at the bottom of the Project tab
- Added a close button to the Plugin Info dialog

Note that the help dialog can be closed by either clicking in the main window area, or by pressing the Escape key on the keyboard.

Re-download RC3 from the above link.

1) That's a biggie. I don't really have the time to make that kind of change, although BIDE is open source...
2) Do you have any links to relevant source?
3) If I get the time.

Thanks Rob, you've even fixed that problem where the text jumped around if it auto cased a variable in the middle of a line of code. It was staring to drive me a bit mad

Can you post the recent sources for BIDE .. Thanks . What version of Visual Basic are u using ?

Here is the link to Office XP Sytle Menus

http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=650&lngWId=10

How about these features that I discussed above:-

3) Add external files and source files to opened in editor without it creating new project .."

1) Good idea - could cause issues though as I often do checks against the tab captions when locating files.
2) I can't do that because CodeSense doesn't support it - sorry.
3) You can open source files seperately anyway - just select .dba from the file type drop down list. BlueIDE is highly project-orientated, but you can still work with standalone files. I know that if you create exes it doesn't place them in the same folder as the source file though, I need to change that.
