An arrow to the left of the line where a variable was defined will be shown after compilation to indicate that variable hasn't been used throughout the program.
When USING follows another print in the same statement (such as PRINT
"123"; USING "###"; 456), it created a memory leak due to the temp
variable being created twice and only freed once. This patch corrects
that issue.
Fix to the precompiler so $IF/$LET work as expected. Adds ability to
see if a precompiler variable is DEFINED or UNDEFINED, to exclude
duplicate code in libraries and such.
Previous wiki software returned html entities instead of actual characters, but the new host has an updated version of mediawiki that does the contrary for some special characters.
- Allows using _DROPPEDFILE as an array ranging from 1 TO _TOTALDROPPEDFILES.
- Using _DROPPEDFILE as an array doesn't reset _TOTALDROPPEDFILES (unlike when reading _DROPPEDFILE$ sequentially with no parameter), so it's necessary to call _FINISHDROP after working with the list of dropped files so it'll be reset.
New statement:
_ACCEPTFILEDROP [{ON|OFF}]
Enables a program to accept files being dropped from a folder.
New functions:
_TOTALDROPPEDFILES
Returns the number of files that have been received via drag/drop.
_DROPPEDFILE$
Returns the list of files that have been dropped. The function sequentially returns the file list and decreases _TOTALDROPPEDFILES with every read.
The statement works as INSTR does but starts from the end of the passed string (or from the specified position) and looks for the passed substring while moving backards.
Takes after VBScript's InStrRev: https://www.w3schools.com/asp/func_instrrev.asp
Closes #51
Existing syntax:
colour~& = _RGB32(red, green, blue)
New possible uses:
- Instead of passing identical rgb values to achieve a shade of gray, pass only 1 parameter for all color components:
colour~& = _RGB32(51) 'same as _RGB32(51, 51, 51)
- _RGB32 can now take an optional alpha parameter, which makes _RGBA32 obsolete (although it still exists for retrocompatibility):
colour~& = _RGB32(255, 0, 255, 30) 'same as _RGBA32(255, 0, 255, 30)
- If you want a shade of gray and also to specify the alpha level, you can pass just two parameters:
colour~& = _RGB32(51, 30) 'same as _RGBA32(51, 51, 51, 30)
In summary:
- 1 parameter = red, green and blue simultaneously set.
- 2 parameters = red, green and blue simultaneously set plus alpha level.
- 3 parameters = red, green and blue as usual.
- 4 parameters = red, green and blue plus alpha level (same as _RGBA32).
Syntax:
_ALLOWFULLSCREEN [{_STRETCH|_SQUAREPIXELS|_OFF|_ALL}][,{_SMOOTH|_OFF|_ALL}]
Existing _FULLSCREEN statement is not bound by _ALLOWFULLSCREEN's settings, only the ALT+ENTER key combo.
_ECHO is more of a macro than a new statement, as it'll perform the following actions:
1- Save current _DEST;
2- Switch to _CONSOLE;
3- Print the passed string (only strings accepted);
4- Switch back to previous _DEST.
None of the PRINT features such as USING, numeric variables, retaining the cursor are implemented/planned for this statement.
Closes #29
Running a compiled program in standard "attached" mode had no real use as it had been planned (as once stated by Galleon) to allow future integration of a debug mode that never came to be. It is not practical as is. This change makes F5 (and consequently the Start option in the Run menu) start the program automatically in "detached" mode (equivalent to Ctrl+F5 in previous versions), which means that the resulting binary will be run with SHELL _DONTWAIT instead of simply SHELL, allowing the newly launched process to be independent from the IDE.
- Adds submenus.
- Renamed "Save EXE in the source folder" to "Output EXE to source folder" in Run menu.
- Changed behavior of disabled menu items; instead of closing the menu, do nothing.
- ShowLineNumbersSeparator will separate the line numbers panel from the main text are with CHR$(179);
- ShowLineNumbersUseBG will use the same color assigned to current line highlight in the line numbers panel.
When an error in an include file is reported, the IDE also shows what line inside the external file caused the error. Double-clicking the include line will open the file in a second instance of the IDE and position the cursor in the line that caused the last error.
- The IDE will wait until the second instance is closed, check if the file was changed and recompile accordingly.
- Interface lights dim while the second instance is being used.
- Fixes CTRL+letter being inserted in the text area even after combos were processed.
- Fixes CTRL+letter activating menu items.
- Fixes a menu being preselected when activated with ALT if the mouse was hovering it (hovering still works *after* the menu is launched)
By unchecking the new switch in the Options menu, the IDE won't warn and "red-light" every single mistake until you tell it to start compilation with F5.

- SUBs and FUNCTIONs names will be highlighted throughout the code.
- The same color assigned to metacommands is used for custom keywords.
- A custom dictionary can also be added to internal/config.txt.
- SUBs and FUNCTIONs in $INCLUDEd files also get highlighted, as long as there aren't any errors preventing compilation.

Default cursor height for non-insert mode is LOCATE , , , 8, 8. Start and End values can now be customized in the config.txt settings file (values range from 0 to 31).
- Improved number detection (negatives, decimals, trailing type suffixes);
- Properly clear the status area before showing "converting..." message for QB45BIN.
Version 1.1 color schemes contained only 6 colors. This patch allows users to maintain their existing schemes while adding keyword and number highlight colors to them. Also:
- Invalid schemes are now just skipped, instead of destroyed.
- Scheme selection arrows and "Save"/"Erase" buttons are more visible/distinguishable between active/hovered/inactive states.
- Confirmation dialog before erasing user schemes.
Upon attempting to load a binary file, the IDE will detect that the file type is a QuickBASIC 4.5 binary file and offer to convert it to plain text using qarnos's QB45BIN utility.
- Disable resizing when the help system is open and when dialogs are displayed.
- Minor fix to multi-highlighting to also allow it to hightlight instances of the same text seleted in the current line.
When a a single-line selection is made, every instance of the same "word" on the current screen gets highlighted. Can be disabled in Options->IDE colors.
- _WINDOWHANDLE exposes the current window's handle (Windows-only).
- _WINDOWHASFOCUS returns true (-1) when the program is the foremost window (Windows-only). Always returns -1 in other OSes.
- _TITLE$ (function) returns the last title set using the _TITLE statement.
- Fetch an image from the clipboard with handle& = _CLIPBOARDIMAGE
- If there isn't an image in the clipboard, handle& will be -1.
- Copy a valid image to the clipboard (All screen modes, except 0) with _CLIPBOARDIMAGE = handle&
A line starting with a TAB character and an ELSE clause would be incorrectly regarded as having a syntax error when compiling via command line interface. This fixes that issue.
Change to mem.TYPE from LONG variable type to OFFSET. This prevents
4-bytes padding from throwing off values for mem.ELEMENTSIZE and
mem.IMAGE on 64-bit systems.
Patch should work on Mac, Linux, and Windows; both 32-bit and 64-bit
versions, giving the correct results for mem.ELEMENTSIZE and mem.IMAGE
from now on.
This reverts commit cca11e8f90.
This and previous reverts remove ICON-related changes, which were
simply too questionable (in stability terms) this close to a planned
release.
Also:
- Revamp _ICON so it'll use the embed icon if it's called without parameters. The default QB64 icon is still used otherwise.
- Fix "Creating .EXE..." being printed in the wrong coordinates (IDE)
- Fix the new error message (when Debug is <> 0) so it'll show properly when compiling with -x.
When the cursor is on a an open "(" or closing ")" bracket, the matching pair, to the left or right, will be highlighted (as seen in modern IDEs, like https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/zainnab/2010/09/07/automatic-delimiter-highlighting/)
Also:
- Overall visual adjustments.
- Improved IDE Colors dialog (Options menu), which includes an option to disable bracket highlighting.
- Adds Ctrl+S as a shortcut for File->Save.
- Displays an * on the filename in the title bar below the menu bar when the source has been edited.
- Fixes an old bug that would color strings incorrectly when the source view was scrolled to the right.
- Enables block indent functionality in the Edit menu even when autoindent is on.
- Allows the View SUBs dialog (F2) to be invoked while focus is on the quick search bar.
Previously, if the IDE had focus while a compiled program was being run (F5), any input on the window would later be processed, messing up the source code sometimes. That's been fixed.
Block indentation is now allowed even with auto-indentation is on. A bit useless at first, as the IDE will override any custom indentation attempt while ideautoindent is on, but at least now TAB doesn't inadvertedly delete selection contents anymore.
Expand cursor behavior to work even when auto layout/indentation are active, so that edition feels more natural.
Also:
- Improved cursor behavior when using backspace to collapse a line into the previous one (check out code comments for easier understanding).
Uses _PALETTECOLOR to change the background of the IDE to a darker shade while external compilation is taking place, to give a sense of temporary unavailability.
Also:
- Improved messagebox (allows multiline messages with CHR$(10) terminated lines.
- Fixed a minor bug that could be triggered by right-clicking a selection that contained only sigils.
