You can also use a value of 0 to not pause and simply give other apps first priority. Then your only using CPU idle time(Time that normally would go to the Idle process so there will still be 100% cpu usage). With pauses of longer than 0 you take away some of your apps responsiveness the higher the number the less responsive, the positive is that while a value of 1 doesn't take much responsiveness it give most of the clock cycles back to the system. If you want low cpu usage use 1 if you just want a multi-takser freindly app use 0.

Personally I'd suggest 1.

Interesting Keaz, so that's why sleep_CPU(1) reduces CPU usage by such a large amount.

Progress Update:
I've been working on two things recently:

- Tabbed project settings. Project properties will now be in a tabbed layout, similar to the design of the Original IDE. This is making IonRay look much nicer, and I am quite pleased with it. Thanks for this Raven .

- New Project Creation (almost done, but delayed due to tabbed project layout having a higher priority


I'll release new screens and such when 'tabbed project settings' is finished.

OK, finished the tabbed project interface. Still having a few new project issues, though. Attached is a screenshot of the new interface; hope everyone likes it!

Sorry it's in GIF format - I know, it messed up the colors quite a bit

OK, new project creation is basically finished. A few small features to add remain, but IonRay IDE can create a new project from a template and has name replacement (%name% in the source/project/filename will be renamed to the project's name )

Here is a picture of the new created project test12. I went to some work to convert this to .png, so you can see a much clearer image than even the first jpegs.

[EDIT: included the new file dialog box in the screenshot]

That looks great! Keep it up! I'd be interested in trying it out when it's ready? Testing? Whatever?

Anyway, good luck!

Didn't know anyone was really interested in the code. I guess I'll just clean it up a bit (it's still using some outdated code that should be replaced by simpler code, then I'll release it. Glad to hear you're interested.

It's looking great!
I haven't explored the whole thing, but I can definitely tell that I can't wait until the save and compilation features are done.

Just a question, and it's probably obvious to everyone else and i'm just missing it, but why, when you click on the next right tab in the editor, do you lose a line number? I don't know, it just seemed a little strange. It probably has something to do with spliting up the source, but when I typed a few lines and switched to another tab I couldn't see the lines I typed in the first tab, but please explain if I am just being stupid.

Also, when I loaded a project, it took switching to another tab and back (it seemed like a few times) to get it to kick in.

If it was me, I wouldn't know it.

Actually, loading does work; try it

Quote: "why, when you click on the next right tab in the editor, do you lose a line number?"

Dynamic line numbering: IonRay uses the same line numbering as the Compiler does. Because the compiler takes the source as one file that has all of the dbas in it, each source will continue from the line numbering of the previous source. No suorce can have less than one line in it, even if it is blank. Try typing a few lines into the variables tab. Then click on the setup tab and the numbering ill begin at whatever you ended on in variables, +1. Because of all this, when the compiler reports line 2386 has an error (runtime errors especially), you can find the correct line in your program. (for compile-time errors, IonRay will scroll to the error line).

Seems that is quite a good editor...
Awaiting for the final demo or release..

don't know if the feature is implemented or not but do you plan a function that handles the variables such as VB do? I explain:

If I write a Variable ex. ObjectNumber then, in the program I write down again objectnumber, the last written sould be rewritten such as the first one ObjectNumber, in this case this means that I have written it right... This is quite an auto control because if nothing happens this means I've written it wrong & I have to check the spelling... (Hope you see what I mean...)

OK, for those who are interested, attached is all necessary source+project files, except those included in the demo download.

BLUEGUI IS NEEDED for this code to compile.

Extract this and the demo to the folder DBPpathIonRay
Note: this source needs the demo download to work.
Download the IonRay IDE demo 0.1.0.0
Download the IonRay IDE source 0.1.0.0

Feel free to fiddle with the code. Please post if you make anything useful

Note that it is still recommended to use the compiled version.

Great work, it's turning out really good. I like the way you have the line numbering carry over to the different includes. Should make finding bugs easier. Don't forget to add a color picker, I think on the right click menu is the best place for it.

Of course . I've planned for a color picker all along. It will have an option to insert the color in RGB(_,_,_) format, RGBA(_,_,_,_) format (this command will be added), or colorVal format (the DBpro color number such as 107824 that represents all red, green, and blue together.

Thanks for your input ; glad you like it

writing memory to an area not previously allocated is irresponsible, and dangerous. even if you know where something is, you shouldnt change it in this manner anyway also this ide too closely resembles twilight

Are you referring to the use of pointers to store a string (passed to User32.dll)? If so, I did this completely safely. It has been allocated with 'make memory' and is safely deleted after it is used. Basically, it uses my set of commands that make simple memblocks without dragging in all the 3D dlls (which would multiply the exe size by 4 at the least).

Thanks Cryptoman, I'm glad to release it's source

I've updated my sig, although I think that's clear just from looking down an inch

If you mean whether IonRay IDE's project save files are compatible with the original IDE, then yes . IonRay Projects will compile fine from the Original IDE. However, some extended functions that haven't been yet added wil not work with the Original IDE: addec commands and not overwriting the arrow/timer cursors.

Not exactly what I was saying. Any IDE can use undocumented commands, whether or not they are highlighted. I was referring to a set of functions, most of which I intend to implement into IonRay as commands. IonRay will include them if they are used. Also, the underscores ('_'s) will be replaced with spaces.

Yes, this is freeware. If you want to contribute download the demo and source and put them in the folder DBPpath\IonRay. See a few of my posts up ^.
Then you may change the code and post changes if you write anything that might be of value.

Thanks

Here's an update as to what's happening right now:

I know there hasn't been much progress during the last week; I haven't had access to the computer that has IonRay on it. I'll be able to work on it again probably tomorrow.

School is starting again, so IonRay will go a little slower, but it will still make progress.
I've done so much work on it already and will definitely continue until it is in a finished state, so that it is reasonable competition to all the other IDEs out there. Don't worry, most of my spare time will continue to go into IonRay IDE's development.

I'll probably put saving in next, and that will be needed for compiling (which should be easy after saving, a lot of the code will be the same). I might also put in a color picker soon, it should be easy.

Thanks for everyone's support ,

I put in a color picker . It works in three modes, which can be selected from the tools menu. Settings are saved on closing the program.

Modes:


If you highlight a previous color, or just other text, that will be replaced by the new color.

I could add it if I could find out haw to calculate it. I would need to have a function to find the color from HSV or H,S, or V, from a color. I could make these if I knew they're exact relationship to RGB.

I'm working on an update that will use Rob K's new BlueGUI 2.05. Because of this, the code input areas will no longer word wrap!

Saving is still a priority; I've started working on it now and am quikly getting through the project file part.

Also, I was experiencing new (I believe) bugs of the re-highlighting text after usint 'To UPPERCASE' or 'To lowercase', so I removed the selecting the previously highlighted text for now. I need to know what users would prefer. Should the text be re-highlighted after the case is changed (through the edit menu)?

Also, sorry for the lack of updates lately.

With no wordwrap, IonRay's looking very nice maximized, like a real IDE.

Saving is progressing far. I'm 85% done with the project file part, have the source saving done, and will probably be 95% finished by tomorrow. Unfortunately there is still the problem that "media root path" doesn't have a box, so that will make finishing saving take a little longer. I haven't tested any of this yet, but there probably won't be any hard to pin bugs.

For anyone who's interested, here is a sample IonRay save file:


There are so many IDE woks in progress that I thought it might help someone to see what's going in the other save files. I hope it's useful for someone .

I haven't tested it yet, it is currently using a function to simple write each line to the file.

If it seems to slow I've got a backup function that is much faster but uses memblocks and will add 3 MBs to the EXE size, but if that's what it takes...

The Original IDE will still remain intact and useable with IonRay installed. IonRay has it's own folder - IonRay, rather than replacing the Editor folder.
