I think blueide is clearing the clipboard when a program is running.
If I start blueide and type in
do
loop
Then run the program. While the dbpro program is running any text I try to copy to the clipboard disapears.

Will look into it.

I've had a few reports of a "Run-Time Error 13" on startup with RC3/4 which did not happen with Beta 2.

Does anyone here experience the error and do they have VB6 on their PC?

Rob, does CodeMax/CodeSence have a method that saves the key assignments when they are configured? I mentioned this a few posts back about BlueIDE not saving the key assignments from session to session, can this be one of the next changes

Cheers.

Paul.

I am having three problems ...

1 - fixup is happening on commented lines
2 - fixup does not work for function parameters
3 - I can't get my bl**dy plug-in working with the IDE. I'll send you a copy of the project files if that's Ok with you.

Oh, and I *don't* experience this error that everyone is talking about, and I *do* have VB6 installed

Sure:

Just create a comment like this:

`-BookmarkName

Hi Ian:

1) I need to find a faster way of doing variable fix-up in order to give me time to do checks for comments.
2) Function parameters are not yet parsed for var declarations - can be done though.
Fixup case doesn't know about variable scope yet either.
3) Please send me the plugin & project files and I'll see what is happening.

Hi Freddix:

Do you have VB6?
If not, Can you put your IDE into debug mode by going into the registry (start > regedit), navigate to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\VB and VBA Program Settings\BlueIDE\General key and create a new string value called: ide_debug and set its value to "log" without the quotes.

A file called log.txt or blueide_log.txt should then be created in the folder where BlueIDE is installed. Can you email the log to me? Thanks.

Does anyone know if the Common Controls library (comctrl32.ocx) is different for different language versions of Windows?

I dont think there is a different one for each OS. One version should run on all...

Any chance of updating the version numbers for each release ?

Hi Rob

May I be so bold as to request a number of additions/changes for your next update?

1) The cursor files. I've mentioned it before but here it is again: Only the last cursor in the list is saved with the project. Which is fine if you only use one cursor but not when using more (7 in my current project).

2) In 'Help > About' could you please make the version number a little more specific. It claims I am using version 1.0.0 when in fact it is release canditate 4 that I am using. A minor niggle but it could have saved me downloading RC4 twice because I wasn't sure if I was using it or not.

3) Would it be possible to use 'ctrl+a' to Select All? I know the option is there in the menu but I am used to 'ctrl+a' in other programs.

The first point about the cursors is the only one that is causing me problems. The other two are minor niggles that I could live with if I have to (but I'd rather not).

Otherwise - great IDE! Keep up the good work and thanks for listening

If I have this code


And I change the endif to an else and press return it moves the else over. I end up with. ("`" character shows where the cursor ends up)


Instead of



I have tab size set to 2 and the convert tabs to spaces while typing option on.

Also would it be possible to use a colour picker instead of the combo boxes to select font colours? I don't like looking at a white background for too long and none of the colours in the combo box really work as a background colour.

@RobK
reg: "Runtime error 13- Type Mismatch"
Do you use time/date or other "locale related" stuff during the app's startup by any chance?
Change the Regional Settings/Regional Options to eg. "French" to reproduce Freddix' error message.

@empty

Thanks

I could reproduce the error, but I think its a bug in VB, I had a line of code something like this:

if (LCase(Right(iniFile.name,4))=".ini")

changing it to this

fileExt=LCase(Right(iniFile.name,4))
if (fileExt=".ini")

solved the problem!

Can people who experienced the errors please try this update:
http://www.robertknight.me.uk/files/darkbasic/blue.exe

(You'll need to place it in your BlueIDE install folder)

Hi Rob.

I can't use Wolf's Tokamak wrapper in your IDE.

Ordinarily I would assume it is a problem with the wrapper but it works fine in any other IDE.

In yours (my IDE of choice BTW) whenever I enter one of the commands, as soon as I have finished typing it I get the error message:

Run-time error '9':
Subscript out of range

When I click the OK button in the message box the IDE shuts down.

Any ideas?

Its back to the good old bug hunt, I'm afraid...
Using RC4 : Tools -> Rebuild Keywords. Press OK and wait for the process to finish. Once done, I then get Runtime Error 5 - Invalid procedure call or argument...

I am having problems getting the new netlib plugins keywords to work with Blue IDE. I keep getting a Runtime error '9': Subscript out of range error when I use any of their commands. It works fine with twilight IDE and default IDE. I also get a Runtime error 5 everytime I try to rebuild keywords. I am using beta2 release candidate 3.

They're completely different, the IDE is the editor you actually program your DBP applications in where as Blue GUI is a third party plugin that allows you to add Windows command buttons, text boxes and other components to your DBP application. Basically it adds additional commands to DBP.

CattleRustler has made the keywords in an unsual way:
gen_MsgBox==(ByVal Title As String, ByVal Message As String, Optional ByVal Style As Integer = 0) As Integer

The problem is that BlueIDE doesn't like the fact that the isn't anything between the 2 ='s when there should be a link to the help file. We don't have a help file so CR left it blank, most people stick a *no help* in there so it will work. So basically, this entry will work:

gen_MsgBox=none=(ByVal Title As String, ByVal Message As String, Optional ByVal Style As Integer = 0) As Integer

Then you need to do that for every command, personally, I'd change it to something easier to read anyway:

gen_MsgBox=none=(Title, Message, Style) As Integer

I can't right now, but I'll make a new version of the keywords file for you later.

Umph. Same problem with the IDE crashing because of it here. I'll be glad when that fix comes in.

It'd be nice if the readme contained some actual examples of the commands in use too, just as a suggestion.

I have a logitech optical wheel mouse but I have tried a microsoft mouse as well. It works great with default IDE and twilight but I really want to use Blue IDE . I have latest drivers and everything. Thank you.

I get that but the keywords update so it isn't really a problem.
The problem is that it doesn't let you cancel the closing of the ide. Modify a project then update keywords and your changes are lost.

My keywords do not update. I have to manually delete the blueide keywords file and reopen blue ide to update them. But this is no big deal because I rarely update them. I even made a bat file to do it.

From looking at the source It does this.



c:\windows usually only exists under win9x.
If you have vb6 it should be pretty easy to fix.

It is also the default path under Windows XP. Admittedly its a very poor way of doing things though, it should really use the API command to get the windows path.
