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.
