Hi,

I've been busy with my mobile basic language (Http://www.DigitalOmega.Net), but I had an idea on how to implement intellisense into my editor. It seems to work pretty well but I'm after some feedback on how well it works, if it really annoys you then you can turn it off within options.



New features - 22/02/04
------------

New Intellisense system (beta)
Fixed compiler reporting
Compiled under release

Thanks,

Thanks,

Have u tested it?

Most of the components come with .NET, but the syntaxbox is thirdparty.

yes i have tested it and i like it a lot.

you said that the syntaxbox was thirdparty...do you mean that IntelliSense component?

oh..and...is that code editor a standard RichTextEdit Control? ...and if so, can you turn a certain "show line number" property ON/OFF?

Cool, did the intellisense work ok then? I have fixed some errors in it, but I'm still trying to make it perfect!

I wrote the intellisense component. The syntaxbox is thirdparty, and so is not an RichTextEdit control as that sucks

I'll look into making the line numbers optional.

Thanks,
DarkRider

yes, the intellisense worked fine...

...about the line numbers...i just wanted to know if there was an option at design-time to turn them on/off....i didn't mean it like they were bothering me or something...in fact, the line numbers are actually something i prefer

could you give me a link to where i can download that Syntaxbox control that you used?

..and...did you use a ListBox control for that intellisense component??

With the intellisense *almost* finished I have been working on an option explicit type system (basically warns you about any mispelt variable names). So far it is working pretty well, it is fast and efficient, but cannot yet cope with code that isn't properly spaced e.g. StartX,StartY it would require StartX , StartY. But that is no big deal once I sit down and fix it. Anyway, piccy:

Ok,

The editor has had a nice makeover, it is faster (using proper MS components) and looks nicer I think. The colour is still chosen by you, its just that I'm using it in nice grey mode.

Notice the VS.NET style error reporting at the bottom.

intellisense is what is found in Visual Studio by Microsoft which basically 'senses' what you type and then provides possible commands. Basically, it saves your typing time by typing the first three letters and then hitting TAB.

The version is now available for download:

Http://www.LevelMaker3D.co.uk/ide.asp

Removed security
Saves files that are to be compiled without any indentation
Better indentation system (toolbox)
New GUI, faster and nicer

Have fun

Yeah, the GUI is very cool as you can hide features that you don't need. It's also fully customisable in terms of language and styling. Have you used the editor?

DarkRider, when you said Mobile Basic, this was the first app that came into my mind:

http://www.mobilebasic.com/

Don't know which of you got the name first though

edit: oops, just noticed that your program is called Small Basic. Just got a little confused haha.

No I haven't used the editor, because I don't own DB, and my trial has expired so I'm saving up for the full version.

Scouseknight:

Thanks

r_kabouter:

Unfortunatley, SmallBasic (now called Omega Basic) is a large project, and so is taking a long time. I'm not quite sure who got in first with the idea, but they have it got it finished quicker. However, mobile phones have slow processors, and when you run emulation on them they become even more slower. That is why Omega Basic is compiled properly, and so your program acts as if you wrote it using java!

RPG_Freak:

When you get the full version be sure to install
