A friend of mine developed a nice text editor in auto it! We thought why not making it a IDE for darkbasic ...! Problem is how to call the compiler witch is an .exe so that it could compile what we have in the text editor! Or at least a saved file

It's very possible to do. Look at this thread for an explanation of what to do. You have to create a .dbpro project file and send that to the compiler. You don't use any command line switches to call it.

However, the tricky part is to figure out when the compiler is done doing its thing so that your IDE can launch the .exe file. You do this via the ShellExecuteEx() and the GetExitCodeProcess() Windows API functions. You can also get the current line number the compiler is compiling as well as any error messages it sends by use of memory mapping (MapViewOfFile, or something like that.)

Trust me though, writing a functional IDE isn't as easy as you might think. I've wasted 1.5 years on mine.

Wow! Thankx ! No way are thinking of making something that complicated! Is just that well theres a small romanian DBPro comunity starting to form, and we wanted to make a romanian IDE for them, and to help starters to understand what is an ide, how to use commands etc!
