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.
- Add -e for compiling with OPTION _EXPLICIT activated from the command line - even if the source file doesn't have the directive.
- Add -o for specifying a different output executable file name.
- More flexible syntax, as switches can come after the file name, making the following acceptable: qb64 filename.bas -x -e -o myprog.exe
- No two OPTION _EXPLICIT can be entered
- You can OPTION _EXPLICIT: DO OTHER STUFF 'and comment on the same line
- Extreme cases of bad formatting like OPTION _EXPLICIT are fine.
