hi Dav

Sorry to hear you’re out of work.  I hope that changes soon.

I mostly use Dav's IDE.  It was written for QB64 and can be found here http://www.qbasicnews.com/dav/projects.php#DAVSIDE.  It's not perfect.  Tithere are one or two things that need to be added  (Dav you were going to update it months ago!).  However, it looks and acts more like the sort of IDE that it sounds like you are used to.  Also, it uses CTRL+F for find.  It won't hurt to give it a try.  It might be all you need.

QB64 Discussion / Re: QBASIC for Win10
« on: December 03, 2020, 05:22:30 am »
Installed it, tried it, uninstalled it.  Microsoft needs to check what's in its Store.

Seriously, why would you want to use it when you already have a much superior product in QB64.  Judging by earlier comments the QB product isn't that compatible with Qbasic, whereas QB64 is.  The only benefit (if it is a benefit) is that the QB product is an interpreter, whereas QB64 is a compiler and you have to wait a few seconds before you can use it (that is if you don't want to make an executable file).

My advice: stick with QB64.

Try using Dav's IDE  http://www.qbasicnews.com/dav/projects.php#DAVSIDE.  It includes a print function.

Tommy Chong says... Dav's not here, man.

Terri Richie's gone AWOP, too. They both make good stuff. Hope to see them surface, soon.

Not long before Christmas, Dav said he was hoping to get his updated IDE issued before the end of the year.  I can understand that around Christmas and the New Year a lot of things can get in the way.  I just wondered if Dav was getting any closer.

QB64 Discussion / Re: IDE doesn't auto-cap DECLARE SUB/FUNCTION?

DECLARE SUB and DECLARE FUNCTION are probably just depreciated. They were necessary in QBAsic but were made unnecessary in QB64. They d not get capped in y browser, either.

Pete

DECLARE SUB/FUNCTION do auto-cap in Dav's IDE.

Dav
Any news on an update to your IDE?

Hi all,

You're right.  https://www.qb64.org/forum/index.php?topic=617.msg4839#msg4839

It's in Purebasic, not SmallBasic.  My apologies.  It seems my memory isn't what it used to be these days.  :(

OK. Then since Dav' IDE is written with PureBasic and this compiled language is available for both Linux and OS/X as well as Windows, would it be possible to get the executables for Linux and OS/X or to get the sources to make it for Linux and OS/X (accordingly to the PureBasic home page, the source are immediately portable from one OS to the others).?

TIA.
Only Dav can answer.  Although Purebasic is multi-platform, it is probable that the IDE contains Windows only specific calls and  Dav may only work with Windows.

Hi all,

I'm playing a little bit with the Dav's IDE and I like it.

Now, since it's an interesting alternative to the QB64 original IDE, it's (for now) a Windows only program (and that os isn't my cup of tea).

So, although I do not know the programming language that Dav used to develop it (I suspect C or C ++), is it possible to easily adapt this IDE to Linux and OS/X (unless that there are many calls to purely Windows APIs)?

Cheers.
Fifi

IIRC it's written in SmallBasic, so Windows-only.

Could Dav please clarify, because I read in earlier posts that his IDE was written in Purebasic.

Open an '$INCLUDE file from its IDE for editing.

Could be a handy function.

Menu options for handy tools like calc, notepad - not so useful. I have those at my finger tips always. Not needed in the editor. I'd like the IDE to be a clean QB IDE not a muddled QB/os tool interface.

Dav

As a long time user of your IDE, I'm looking forward to your update.

At the moment only one code page can be open at a time, so it would be useful to be able to open Notepad from the menu to do some 'dirty' programming, copying and pasting sections of code, etc.  I have these programs on my computer (obviously, otherwise you couldn't link to them) but it would be much quicker to access them from the IDE menu. I must say I don't have much use for the calculator.

It's the one nice thing about the old QB45 program I liked.  Source code printing.

Now I have to use Programmers Notepad ( http://www.pnotepad.org/ ) to view then
print my code.  Because PN, see's the code as visual basic (close enough) it creates
color separated printing output.  AKA, makes it easier to read.

It may not be easy to include in the IDE printing.  But maybe it's possible to "cmd"
out to some printing program or send the code to PN to be printed.

Dav's IDE allows you to print out your code.  Unfortunately, it only seems to do it in black text. 

Dav, maybe this is another thing to look at when updating your IDE.

@RNBW: Thanks for the suggestions.  An earlier IDE version let users choose font & size, but I removed it when realizing using other fonts messed up High ASCII code in some code.  So I made a code page 437 font, 3 sizes of it eventually.  The word wrap I could probably add, will see if it can be done easily with just scintilla calls - but if it messes up the way I'm doing lines/linecount I'll have to reprogram some things.

@anon1:  Thanks for the link. That's sure is a good looking editor. Yes, the IDE is being made in PureBasic.

- Dav

I must say that wordwrap is very low in my requirements.  It's a nice to have, but not essential.
