That would be nice... but somehow I suspect they won't be making it an Open Source Beta. I suspect you would have to write the entire thing yourself.

Anyone know what this is written in anyways? (MFC, Win32, VB)

Im guessing MFC. The old editor looks like MFC anyhow. Maybe I'll make a better editor with color highlighting over summer. I'm so tempted to work on it now, but I have to do homework, ahhh...

Oh, kewl. I'm thinkin of something if I can ever understand MFC.

That means absolutely nothing. MFC is just another way to access the same UI features as the API. Show me something you can do in MFC and I'll find you a way to do the exact same thing with the exact same UI using the API.

MFC is like Visual Basic (the simplisticy (sp?)). But all it is is just a wrapper for the Win32 API.

Of course you can do the same things with API and MFC, MFC is just supposed to make doing the same thing easier.

Actually, in my opinion, Win32 is easier than MFC, but that's only because I just started to dig into the code.

MFC
 

I don't really like MFC, it's a lot more easier than win32 and has more support on the internet, but it uses a lot more resources and seems slower than win32. However, speed and resources don't really matter for a pbasic ide. I don't have a program where I can go time (prog name) on windows.

Yes, I can convert anything from MFC to standard, too. But what they have as a template for the basic stamp editor, looks like the MFC wizard.

Yeah, exactly Raven. My problem with MFC is that it is like the Visual Basic of Windows GUI.

If I could just know how to let the user type stuff like in pabsic and stuff *hint hint*, then I'd work on a miniture one.

I'm trying to study for psych right now, but here is something quick and dirty.

I just did a simple search and I found this.

Text editor with colorizing, have fun.

Its MFC i think, but wahtever, just something simple I found. Check the other stuff at codeproject.

Thanks for the links. Good luck if you have a test on it

Proprietary Software is Evil.
 

Alas, a prime example of the evils of proprietary software. If this PBASIC 2.5 spec, editor and compiler were Free Software, this issue would be a moot point. Long live GNU!

Hey, rbayer -- nice job on the GTK/GNU/Linux robot apps. Got a question tho -- how in heck did you make up the GNU autoconf and automake stuffs for your linux builds? I just can'
t get my head around it. I'm working on a game engine in C++/SDL right now and I'm just using a lame-o bourne shell script to compile it under GNU/Linux...

Thanks. :)

Almost a quarter of a day late now, I decided that posind in hours is futile. Posting in quarters of days probobly is too! :D

Oh well its still not out. Most likely they will release color highlighting, considering the last IDE released by parallax had it, Javelin Stamp IDE. It looks like the basic stamp editor 1.33 improved, but its for java.
