Ok most functionality is in now. it saves and loads reliably, and it needs slight optimizations, complete functionality and a more winXp look.

all the winXp stuff should work correctly. this is the longhorn pdc slate style.

screen1:

screen2:


known issues:
*if you repeatedly add and remove files from a project, the new files *may assume the identity of the first one.
*if some vb6 runtimes are missing the program will not start.
*if the swifttemp directory is not set then you will experience a crash.
[edit (again)]
to skip the directory check, create a file called swiftsettings.ini and place this in it




i just want to know what you guys think about the interface, and what you would add.

and the ide itself:
note, please do not place this in a folder with any important projects.
after you create a project you can look at the project folder structure and comment.
known issues:
looks stupid in res's lower than 1024x768
buttons are not fully functional
[edit]
any constructive critisicms ,requests ,questions and suggestions welcome.
feel free to contact me on aim or drop me an email with swiftIDE as the subject
also. the toolbar will be replaced just not sure what i want to put there since the toolbox has so many usefull project functions. it will probably have just global stuff

yeah, i dont believe in using controls for routines that i can do on my own, that's why syntax coloring isnt fully in yet.
[edit]
It has come to my attention that the ide itself contains an absolute path so i will fix it and re-upload when i get home
[edit]
updated. may need a few vb6 runtimes though.

please list anything you want to see in the editor.
stuff that may or may not be in that rip off (synergy) which still hasnt shown fully yet. It said it is expired, and i havent even ****ing used it yet. it looks like .net garbage anyway and isnt dedicated to dbp but seems to be to draw people to omegabasic. I dont know why tgc gave it a page.
[edit]
btw , mods, is synergy the NEW official ide or is there room for a new one?

@Greed: here is another suggestion (i already suggested that for Freddix but he also said he will do that)
the sugestion is that if u will make your IDE WITH map editor, it will be really cool

i plan to just create a plugin folder and allow you to shell things from the plugin folder so your media editior and stuff like that can be shelled from there. I have no idea how to get data from these programs back to the IDE but we will have to see. If you use the download you can go into the toolbox tab, and you will see a plugins button which will become a buttonMenu.

If you are using the .NET framework, have a look into reflection. By the icon I beleive you are using VB6?

I been thinking about writing a tutorial for writing plugin based apps with .NET framework, being around how my IDE is woring.

You doing nice job, looking good.

what happened to darkIDE? i was drooling waiting for it to come out
[edit]
im using vb6, i dont believe in the .net craze


update>>
Last night wanted to try to color words within a msflexgrid control- didnt work out and then i thought about making a msflexgrid/floating richtextbox combo for doing source entry, in the end , decided against it, and now that i have gotten a list of messages you can send the richtext box, i can now retreive lines from the textbox and determine which line number is which, so syntax coloring will be next as i am doing it line by line rather that chunks at a time.


which do you prefer a line to be colored while you are doing it, or after you press [enter] and is there any reason a line would be longer than 255 chars?

also, can keys be added to a dbpro file or is it restricted to the keys in there already? I wanted to add things like currentLine, currentSource breakpoints and that kind of thing.

It still being worked on, not much in the past couple of weeks though. I'm just now getting the more DBP related stuff in it. Right now there is not really much compatibility betwwen it and the default editor, but that is comming. I'm hoping to have all lose end tied together within 3 months, time has really kicked me in the ass the past year.

Heres the link to the thread: http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=65234&b=8

I'm working on the keyword editor right now. Next will be getting plugins written up to add media icons and cursors to a project.

I want to have a plugin to handle text and rech text editing to before the IDE is relaesed. As soon I get VS2005 I will work on getting a web browser implemented.

ok expect a small update tommorow.
Have a number of things in store for this one baby

gonna include some new and unseen features which i will not disclose yet as i dont want to see them in synergy first
however please comment and leave constructive criticisims.

btw, my approach is different now, i now have a msflexgrid array in conjunction with a richtextbox control as i couldnt color words in the flexgrid individually.
this means the following:

>project saving now may be slightly dodgy but not for long, just needs testing to ensure everything is complete before release.
>a new routine for line numbering in addition to function folding is on the horizion.
>text formatting will be done on the fly. using richtext tags.

ps: does anyone know if rtf can contain custom tags?

keep track of which line number is for which file when you create the TEMP folder. (so when the compiler returns ERROR: LINE 1249, it will take you to the line it's talking about and highlight it) that would be the best thing you could do...

okey dokey, the 26th ill release an update. function folding works now,and will be mouse sensitive so all you do is click on an '{' to fold and a '{...}' to unfold and youll be on your merry way.
youll never believe how i did it

[edit]
mostly working now
basically you will use curly braces to define reigons of folding which will automatically be inserted for you after function and label declarations






this is how it looks before folding



and this is how it looks after

Is it possible to create lines between the different parts? - that would be awesome :: Just have a look at vb...
There is a line between end w/e and w/e function/sub which is a very nice feature

Anyways VB is my favourite Editor - to bad it can't compile DB apps

i thought about that, but i thought you would enjoy netbeans ide style folding more.
@gogetax
I plan on doing that, but function folding is very quirky and only folds the first one. im working on it now.

function folding works for all lines but is still a little dodgy as im using a straight richtextbox control. if anyone has any idea how they would like it to be activated please drop me a mail or see me on msn with my email address.

probably not.
im having a hell of a time getting this to work.
what works now -
when you make a new file or include a file, it gets copied to the src directory under the project folder, so when you open a project from another ide, the locations will be "\src\filename.dba"

however the project saving seems to work in other ide's so now i have to get loading to work right.

****update****

this is the latest version please remove the previous one and report any saving/loading problems to me at my email or msn me at the same email address.

If someone can explain how you use unicode, please contact me and i will attempt to put unicode into the next version. I think it can be done but I only type in english so i need your input.

*******UPDATE!!!!*******
this is the update, wont be long until release now, just gotta do coloring and finish the compiling routine, and we're in business.
you can import your projects from the standard ide (after which you may open them up regularly) ,and open up projects made with the ide now. source hierarchy is preserved.

any feedback greatly appreciated.
[edit]
there was a problem with people not having the appropriate built in controls so they are included in controls.zip

the original ide's project is not guaranteed to be layed out in the same way(make a test project and look at the folder that is created) so the import option just loads your project and puts it in an appropriate directory. and from then on you'r set.
if you look includes are sourced from the \src directory and are copied there if they do not exist there already.

When importing a project with the project wizard I get - "Run-time error '339': Component 'RICHTX32.OCX' or one of its dependancies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid" - then the IDE immediatly closes.

ok syntax coloring. pick any two, fast accurate reliable.

so far i have accurate and reliable but it is only fast if used on one line. im getting there but the next version's syntax coloring will be much more on point.

the problem is that i cant hilight the entire document prior to viewing without consuming a long period of time prior to load. im fixing this now.

its coming!. I tweaked the syntax hilighting routine, so you should notice that it is quite a bit faster now. I will most likely base my compile routine off of robk's routine.but after the toolbar is down pat that will come next and then the peripherals, and lastly i will tweak the syntax coloring routine to the very last nanosecond. Intellisense is sorta in, but im not sure it will be in the lite version.
