If you do your resizing in the WM_WINDOWPOSCHANGING message you can specify a minimum for the dimensions if they go below your required value.

There's a little problem with saving in the IDE.

The first is that new files added to a project don't get added permanently - the project file isn't updated.

The second is that source files don't always get saved. This one I can't always reproduce, but I know for certain that I lost a few source edits last night.

[EDIT]I just lost a source file - the one I added manually just got overwritten by my main source file.

IanM,

I've reverted the project saving back to the way it was (attached). The last thing that I want is for BlueIDE to be the cause of people losing code. I use BlueIDE myself but admittedly I have not added a new source file to any of my projects in awhile. Which is one reason why I failed to detect the overwriting bug. Thank you for bringing to my attention.

I pray that the lost source is something easily replaced.

Regards,

Nah, I retrieved the lost one from backup and changes I'd made elsewhere were small enough to redo.

I've reverted back to the previous version for now.

Bug report:

When I select several lines of text with the mouse leftbutton pressed and right click at the same time (to get the popup options), if I then let go of the mouse buttons, move over to the line number margin and left click it crashes.

Bug? Sometimes while editing my project I get an "Out of string space" error and then an immediate crash. I've been losing source code. I'm running Vista on a Core2 Duo with 4 gb of ram.

Also, performance is suffering lately. I've got 18 include files open at once (I have to!). While I'm typing in a file it does okay, as soon as I click another include file it hangs for about 15 seconds. It does the same thing when I search the file.

I just found that if I unstick the right panel with the function list the hanging stops. I do not have automatically refresh clicked. I've got 306 functions but it's still reporting 612 because any command that has the word 'function' in it gets included and I've set up the project so that every single function gets registered with Lua via IanM's function pointer commands.


Come see the WIP!

Cash how many lines do you have so far? 10k+? I'm only at 5k and sometimes get an occasional random crash but if you compile more frequently than you save your project, you can retrieve the lost code by replacing what you have with the _backup copies in the backup folder.

I've found I have to unstick the code panel for performance reasons myself but I like seeing more code so I have both panels hidden anyway.

I wonder if testing of large projects is needed. If you find the specific steps to cause the error it will be easier for Balid to fix.

I use Blue 2 exclusively now. Codesurge, as great as it is won't work on my Vista machine. Blue filled the void nicely. Since I unstuck the code panel I haven't lost any code in ages.

When you so a "Search Project" search it searches all of the project text as it was when you loaded the project initially. In order to conduct the search properly you have to save, exit, and then search. Not a big deal but certainly can be annoying. I guess that's my biggest gripe.

Again, still having the occasional problem as stated in my earlier post.

I really appreciate that you can still edit code while compiling and also while on search dialogs. That's a BIG help.

A great addition would be a high contrast theme. I got used to it when I scratched my cornea, but I have to set windows to high contrast then manually change the IDE colors. It's a much more relaxing way to code.

Great editor, I love it.

Not to hijack this thread, but Cash, did you ever try the newest version of CodeSurge? I made some changes specifically for Vista users and people with very large projects. I was hoping you'd give it a try and see if it actually works for you now.

CodeSurge
Version 1.0 finally released! Code your DBP projects in style. (And save the kittens!)

Just as a warning to BlueIDE2 users I can get it to crash everytime. If I select a block of text and while doing it I right click, if I click somewhere outside the popup menu it crashes BlueIDE and I lose my changes (that were not autosaved). Since I select/deselect lines of code as a nervous habit (when I'm thinking about something, for instance) it was happening to me a lot. A workaround is to stop and make sure I select an option (usually Select All is the least intrusive), click somewhere to remove selection, and then get back to coding.

Anyway, Balid is not updating/fixing BlueIDE2 anymore, but I still think it's a great editor. I like all the code highlighting options and the way it handles language keywords like if/then, while/endwhile, etc. It's nice and perty and I haven't seen other IDEs give as many options/categories for highlighting syntax.

Cash,

Congrats on getting BlueIDE 2 to work on Vista. I personally have not been able to keep it running on Vista for more than a day. I'm glad that you've been able to work around the crashing issue as well.


For those who haven't guessed by my almost 9 month absence, the cats out of the bag (well half of it).
Quote: "Balid is not updating/fixing BlueIDE2 anymore"

For my part, the development of BlueIDE 2 is done. I've tried to port BlueIDE 2 to .Net but the CodeSense control used doesn't work well in .Net and not at all with .Net on Vista. There are many features that I wish BlueIDE 2 had like, work consistantly on Vista (and 7), Function/Lable/Comment folding (that allows you to read the Function/Lable name), more highlighting options (yes more), and moveable windows (like CodeSurge and Synergy). With that the birth of Indigo came to light. It is a cross of VB.Net, C#, and C++. Using the Scintilla control for syntax highlighting. This is meant as my personal editor but I would be open to sharing it. (In about another month).

Regards,
Balid

This is a new one for me
Recently BlueIDE is giving me error messages when I open existing projects. The message is Control Array "Number"# doesnt exist. When I click ok, the project doesn't load and BlueIDE crashes to desktop.

Also sometimes when loading a project after having a project already in the id, all I get is a new blank page. I have to load the project a second time to get it to load properly.

Oh my gosh! He's wearing Full Metal Pyjamas!

Same here. I am using Win XP and the last version of Blue Ide, and the last DBPro update (74). It is a pity, as I really love Blue Ide over all the rest

[This might be considered a high jacking of my own thread but.]

As I mentioned earlier I am not developing BlueIDE 2 anymore and have been working on a new IDE ('Indigo'). I am looking for some beta testers. Another forum member (and a previous tester of BlueIDE 2) has been kind enough to do some testing of Indigo for me over the last three months and I would like to offer a glimps of Indigo to two or three others. It has been tested on XP and Vista and I would love it if someone would be able to do some testing on 7 (not that more testing on XP or Vista isn't needed).

I placed this request here as I'm looking for those who have enjoyed BlueIDE 2 and would be interested in an IDE that has a similar look and feel. (Indigo is not a port nor copy of BlueIDE 2. I have had a strong influence on BlueIDE 2 and it has carried over into Indigo.)


Regards,
Balid

I'd be happy to help. I've been using Blue for over 2 years on XP. I've got Vista and 7 and I'm working on a very large project. (Should be > 30,000 lines when it's done.)

KISTech,

Thank you, I will be sure to send you something later this week (same as Olby) to try over the weekend (provided that your email is correct).

Please be sure to only use test projects. While I've been using Indigo directly on my projects and haven't lost any code. I would hate for someone to find the right combination causing Indigo to go rouge and eat code.

My largest project is just over 10,000 lines (plus loads of external configuration files). It'll be interesting to see how it handles.

Regards,
