| WooHoo!! That feature list is getting long! Thanks Ed!! |
| ||
| The dogs dangle berries of an IDE! |
| ||
| 1- I want to add extra info in userlibs file. VBlitz could use them to generate command help page like blitz ones. What do you think about this idea ? ;<command> ; SetWindowRgn%(hWnd%,hRgn%,bRedraw%) ; <params> ; hWnd% - handle window ; hRgn% - handle region ; bRedraw% - True To redraw window ; </params> ; <description> ; Set window visible region ; </description> ;</command> SetWindowRgn%(hWnd%,hRgn%,bRedraw%):"SetWindowRgn" 2- What name can I use as decls name ? for xxx.DLL 'xxx.decls' 'moomoo.decls' 'doh.decls' |

| Your website seems to be broken at the moment... |
| ||
| Perhaps too many downloads in same time... It worked for me a few minutes ago. |
| ||
| working like a charm under Win98 I did not believe I would see the wonders of your IDE, but I was wrong. thank you Ed |
| ||
| Hi. Great IDE. But I have a little problem with the syntax highlighting. I think the error is that the keywords.ini file says it missed a runtime.dll on the first run. Could anyone send me a keywords.ini file or give me a clue in what format I should write the commands to it to get syntax highlighting working. Thank you beforehand. Marcus |
| ||
| Got it. There are .decls that don't fit. Now I got it running perfectly and it's breathtaking ! Thanx Ed ! Marcus |
| ||
| Congratulations on this fine IDE! The best IDE since pigeons for shoes. |
| ||
| @Mighty MAC Thanks for your comment. I didn't notice that. :) It seems that Blitz generates keywords by including userlibs commands. It's perhaps the last compilation bug which I forgot. |
| ||
| I must be the only one that this happens to, VBlitz only fires the blitcc up when VBlitz is set to debug. Otherwise if it's set to Release nothing happens? Works fine with older version. Brilliant IDE, I can't work without it. |
| ||
| @bushsolo - Which version do you use ? - What happens when you try to create executable ? |
| ||
| Ed this IDE is simply awesome... have you considered to make an IDE for PureBasic based on this? It would be really cool. |
| ||
| @Bushsolo I wait for your answer... @Jedive Oh... But there is already a IDE project under contruction, it's 'Japbe'. This IDE uses Scintilla like mine. I think that I would not have enough time to do a hack of my IDE. It would already be satysfying to finish this version :) |
| ||
| Ed, you should crack a deal with mark to get your ide shipped with blitz. |
| ||
| Project managment functionality would be a great addition. |
| ||
| Can't tell you what version I'm running, can tell you that it allows me to fold and unfold functions. This is a slighly newer version than the previous one but I still can't use the latest release. I can create executable without fuss, but try to run code without Debug brings no joy, B+ is now 1.36. |
| ||
| [3.09.12] - Added : compilation progress bar - reduce compilation time - bug fixed : reset quickhelp - bug fixed : line numbers shift +1 - bug fixed : autocomp does not stop after typing a space caracter |
| ||
| this won't run for me on win98 - i get an invalid page fault after the splash screen =[ |
| ||
| Hello! With this version (and the version before) the code runs only with debug active. I use win XP an Blitz+ 1.36. By the way, Fine IDE!! |
| ||
| Anyone else having problems setting up a file association with BB files? It seems that WindowsXP refuses to believe that VisualBlitz IDE is a program... I always double-click on BB files to open them rather than opening the IDE first, so this is quite an issue for me, even though it might be a minor problem for everybody else... |
| ||
| [3.09.12+] I've fixed a compilation bug |
| ||
| a small gift for so big contribution (VISUAL BLITZ) CHECKS YOUR MAIL ( Ed From Mars ) |
| ||
| hey Ed. The latest updates have added a lot to this very cool editor (especially the compile progress bar) :) A couple of comments. I have a variable called toolbar in my current app. Each time I type it in the syntax highlighting turns the to (at the start) into To. Its a small thing but frustrating since I always keep variables in lowercase. Also when I am typing something the auto-complete appears even if the command isn't in the dictionary. For example typing edfrommars I can see the auto complete at the start of the line flashing 'Each' as the selection. Again its a small thing but I touch type so seeing that flash a lot is off putting :) Otherwise thanks for a very cool editor |
| ||
| Hi Ed, This version crashes right after the splash screen. I use WinXP Pro. Previous versions ran fine. Thanks, MK |
| ||
| Odd. I seem to be having the opposite results to others: Works fine in Win98 whereas earlier versions didn't (locked up at 'loading keywords' on the splash screen), and file association works fine - sort of. Double-clicking on a .bb file gets VisIDE to open, but it opens as if I've opened it without loading a file in ie my .bb file isn't opened, just the IDE. Still, I'm sure it's On The List, and I'm not going to look this particular free gift horse in the mouth just yet. :o) |

| ||
| @makakoman - Which version did you test ? (look in about window) - Did the previous version work ? (3.09.06) @Binary_Moon - I don't understand exactly your problem You want a option to disable syntax correction - you can turn off 'autocomp upon typing' in preferences panel and use CTRL+Spacebar |
| ||
| Hi ED, trying this versiom i´m unable to run the source code without debug on. Hmm, weired (with debug off) Source code with about 40 lines, run succesfull. Source code with abou 1000 lines, run not succesfull. Ralf |
| ||
| argh !! I've installed VBlitz on Win98 with B+ 1.36 and it didn't work |
| ||
| Strange !! I've the same problem like Sky009 |
| ||
| Same here. |
| ||
| What is the last bugfree version? I am using v3.08.25 atm. |
| ||
| hmmm Ed i have a strange problem with VBlitz... When I try to run a program, if there's an error in an include file, the file is opened and the error line highlighted correctly, well... but, I fix it, save the include file, try to run again and... Blitz stil gives the error! I have to close VBlitz, open it again and everything works fine. |
| ||
| @Nebula Arf :) - There's no bugfree version. - VBlitz is always under contruction. - all features are not implemented. @Jedive Tell me which is your Vblitz Version. Does VBlitz still show the error messageBox ? Does VBlitz still highlight the error ? |
| ||
| Ed - I don't understand exactly your problem You want a option to disable syntax correction Try typing these as upper case (for use as variables) - type them, don't copy and paste TOTAL MODEL TEXTURE Basically I think the syntax hilighting should only happen when the space or return key are pressed. I mentioned it before but don't know if you noticed it. It would be nice if we could double click on a function name (in the code explorer) to expand/ collapse the selected function. Also is there a way of capturing the html clicks on the help page in the same way blitz does. If the luink points to a folder the open file dialogue should appear. If the link points to a bb file then it should be opened in VBlitz. Both those would be very useful. BTW I can run the latest version fine in both release and debug mode Ooh yeah - The error Jedive mentioned above... I had that one today as well. Closing the editor and reopening sorted it. I'm using the latest version |
| ||
| Tell me which is your Vblitz Version. 3.09.06 Does VBlitz still show the error messageBox ? Yes Does VBlitz still highlight the error ? Yes |
| ||
new version 3.09.16 - bug fixed : detect file modification after compilation (win98) - bug fixed : no compilation in release mode (B+ only) @Nebula @Sky009 @Bushsolo 'Tell me if this version compile correctly. @BINARY_MOON 'OK I understand. It would be possible. |
| ||
| Ed - latest version. I see a dos box at the start. It remains there until I close it. The editor does not show up. |
| ||
| @Nebula I see a dos box at the start. It remains there until I close it. It is hidden on win98 but not yet on XP. Don't close this DOS window for the test. ...and the compilation, does it work without any problem ? |
| ||
| @Nebula I've fixed the XP bug. |
| ||
| How about this feature: When you type a close squiggly bracket "}" it looks for the most appropriate Blitz End command (EndIf, EndSelect, Wend etc) and inserts it, replacing the bracket. I ask for this because I like the readability of Blitz but can live without some of the typing. :) |
| ||
| Ok, the editor now loads and compiles, both in debug and runtime. The compiler progress bar is kind of neat. Thx |
| ||
| @Sky009 @Bushsolo ...and you ? |
| ||
| This version seems to work ok, except I only have icons in the menu bar for "Calculator", "File Viewer" and "Command help". The rest is blank. |
| ||
| hmm strange ... Does it happen often ? |
| ||
| Hi ED! The Editor runs and compile in both modes here!! Win XP, B+ 1.36 Thanks for the fast bugfix! sky009 |
| ||
| This version seems to work ok, except I only have icons in the menu bar for "Calculator", "File Viewer" and "Command help". The rest is blank. This has happened to me is other PureBasic applications too when I was using Windows98. Minimizing the window and then restoring again usually fixed it. |
| ||
| @ED : Yes, all the time. @Jedive: Minimize, maximize does not help. |
| ||
| @Peter Can you take a screenshot of this bug ? |
| ||
Here! :) |
| ||
| Nice bug. :o) |
| ||
| when i make a change in the code and check it still thinks the old code is there. |
| ||
| @Rob Pearmain which version do you use ? (look in about window) |
| ||
| BETA 3.09.16 It is when I edit a file that is "included". When i recompile it does not pick up the change |
| ||
| Vblitz doesn't recomplie the keywords list when loading... it's annoying when developing a dll. It works if I manually delete the keywords.ini |
| ||
| Also should the edit userlibs and edit code templates under options menu work?? Don't do nothing for me... Besides that... top work! |
| ||
| bump |
| ||
| Hi Ed, Visual Blitz crashes with the new Blitz3D update. I removed (renamed) the old keywords.ini file so that the ide can generate a new list. Now it crashes immediately upon loading. Here is the error message I get (under WinXP) ################################################# AppName: ide.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: user32.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.104 Offset: 0000bccb ################################################# |
| ||
| Doesn't crash for me with the 1.85 update. I've tried it on two machines (both running XP Pro). |
| ||
| it crashes whilst loading keywords for me, if I remove the old keyword.ini. Presumably it is supposed to autogenerate? |
| ||
| Your userlibs may have some conflicts (dobule commands). |
| ||
| Good call Bouncer. I removed math3d.decls and math.decls (Halo's I think) and it now works. Thanks. |
| ||
| It does appear to be related to userlibs (I renamed my userlibs directory and the program opens fine, regenerating the keywords.ini), but I don't think it's to do with duplicate entries. The Blitz IDE performs a check for this and warns you of it, and it will load fine. |
| ||
| @All Users Visual Blitz will be published on BinaryPeople website @Perturbatio When Blitz compiler generates the keyword list, it includes your userlib functions in this list. You can see them in the autocomp window and the quick help statusbar. That's why your problem is related to userlibs. BLitz IDE hasn't this problem because it knows the keyword list. |
| ||
| How long till the full version gets published? I am looking forward to see how this develops after version 3.09.16+ |
| ||
| visual edit is a bit buggy 1) if i paste a code - VE don't highlight it 2) if i change a word - VE change it sometimes to a command: example: if you change "object1" to "object2" - you delete 1 and add 2 - but after this you have "Object2" but not "object2" |
| ||
| Blitz IDE (i.e. the original Blitz IDE) also adds the keywords from my userlibs, it works fine with my userlibs. Visual Blitz IDE adds the keywords from my userlibs, but doesn't work fine if I tell it to regenerate the list. It would appear to be an issue with Visual Blitz IDE rather than the Blitz IDE. |
| ||
| @Qcat and MrCredo 2 beta version are still to be done before I can publish. The Syntax Highlighter must be perfectly operartional before publishing. I work on it. |
| ||
| Using the code explorer it often hilights the wrong part of the function/ label name (when you select a function) the selection can be anything from a couple of letters to a few lines out. |
| ||
| "I work on it." ok i'm waiting... what is when you have BB2D/BB3D/BB+ ??? can you add a combobox to select a compiler? Sometimes i have 2 versions of BB (old and new one) - it's cool if you can free define a compiler-name with compiler-path in preferences and you can just select a compiler to compile next program in main-editor... |
| ||
| I deleted my userlibs but the ide still crashes as soon as i set the blitz3d folder. |
| ||
| Wow that's really nice. I downloaded an earlier version of this but didn't get on with it somehow. I'll definitely be using this from now on though, cheers ED. One small 'bugget' I've found. When it highlights a line in red because there is an error, the line stays highlighted even after you remove the error. |
| ||
| link is still broken ??? when will it be fixed ? greetz |
| ||
| the beta version has been erased. A new demo version will come. |
