Line numbers in desktop editor

[specci48]

Hi,

as I have some very large applications it would be very helpful if there were line numbers in front of each line. I know that the line of the current cusorposition is shown at the bottom of the editor, but if you are searching for a special line (or program position) you have to scroll, click a line, look at the line number, scroll again...
As an alternative a new "goto line" dialog (e.g. with a shortcut STRG+G) will do.

yes, this would be usefull. i have compiled a programm and it runs
well on the PC. but on the device i have got an error. shurly i can
run it in interpreted modus on the device, but i always must copy
my sourcefile to the device.

If it's usefull for us i wrote a programm running on windows XP that put the number of the at the beginnig of each line no empty and no comment.
Try it.

Bye

It doesn't work for me because the french VB4 runtime (vb6fr.dll) is used to run it.

Vb6fr.dll

Neither for me.

"The language DLL VB6FR.DLL could not be found"

 

[Cableguy]

This maybe a stupid suggestion but have you guys tryed to copy the dll and rename it??

 

[specci48]

What should I copy or rename if I havent got anything due to visual basic installed on my pc

 

[Cableguy]

VBRun.dll can be downloaded from Here http://www.softwarepatch.com/windows/vbrun6.html...or VB6FR.DLL from Here....http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?vb6fr

 

[JJM]

here is the dll.

I hope you can use it.

Bye

Ei JJM any chance you do a re-anotation proggy?
Somthing like searchil for a controls name and replace it like label1,label2,label3,.....,lableln and replace by ValueLB...
If you don't understand me I can exemplify more acuratelly...

Hi,
Nice of you to include the dll, but i can register it and although the dll is in the same folder as the exec, it still can't "find" it!!!
BTW: what are the new features?

 

[specci48]

You have to copy the dll into your Windows/System32 folder...

 

[Cableguy]

Thanks specci48, but still no luck, i coppied it and tryed to run thye app, it errored, then i tryed to register the dll, ad it errors too...

I'm not so much interested in the numbering but what are the new features?

Debugging in text files

When the program is using text files as additional source and there is a bug in compilation, you do not know where the problematic line is because it is in the text file and there are no line numbers (I could not run this listing program even when the dll was present).
Also, the names of the subroutines that are in the text file are not shown on the right like those which are in the b4ppc editor.

It is not relevant to the thread, but David I suggest you not to use e-mail as signature, you will help to increase spam, as bots are always searching...

This only happens if you write directly into the text file....
If you do like I do, I write the code in the designer and if it works as I want, then I cut it to the text file, Both Subs names AND Error trapping Works!!

A MDI (multidocument interface) is planned in the next major update.
It will allow you to work on several code files from the IDE, each in its own page.

I do like you, and when the bug is traced by the compiler I get a sub name which I have to find by manual search in the file, and a line number which I don't know how to locate ! The sub names disappear from the b4p editor after I cut them to the text file.

Next version will include a mutlidocument interface - you will be able to work on several code files at once.
