I have a problem with the Listview. It doesn't display the string in the item correctly. It shows a 'w' (wello), instead of showing hello.
It also shows the headers without Visual Styles.
I show you an image of the program. What can be done?
How do I fix it.

Waiting for your answer, I greet you sincerely

Problem report

(1) Ver3.0.1 and later, create forms, add buttons, and change the button text to Chinese. Save it and open it again, and the Chinese in the source code may become garbled.

(2) After winfbe3. x. There is a problem with the shader. Maybe there are too many codes in Chinese or a BI? Sometimes the shader gets stuck and the response is very slow. After switching to another BI, it is normal, and then switch back to continue the card.

(3) Can I add a function switch box at the top or somewhere of winfbe? It's more convenient

I see that space is reserved to the left of the text, which is currently used for the selected/checked image. In other languages, tools, this space can also be used for an icon image to make the menu item stand out for common actions (New, Open,Save, Print, etc.). In those tools, when such an icon is used, checked state is represented not with a check icon, but with some sort of highlighting. This would allow users to quickly identify common and standard functions at a glance.

For example, Visual Studio WinForms adds a background-highlighting around the image. GAMBAS (BASIC) does the same. So does Lazarus (FreePascal). NetBeans (Java, w/ Swing) seems to highlight the entire menu-item by reversing the foreground (not as impressed with that as with the others, where the highlighting looks almost like a button was pressed, even on the menu-items without an icon).

Note: I have run across the documentation for AfxAddIconToMenuItem, and I will be looking into it, but it would be nice to be able to do this at design-time like the buttons. UPDATE: Having looked at that, I'll wait and see if this feature is likely to become available.--SJS

Obviously not a big issue, but I happened to notice that Instrrev was missing in the IDE list of keywords. I added it manually to the list and then the syntax highlighting and casing worked fine. Just wanted to make you aware of the omission.

Thanks for a great product!

I translate the newest chinese.lang file. Please update it.

RECREATE:
In form designer, put control on form (one with Name, Text, Tooltip fields that you might edit). With control selected, go to Toolbox window, and Properties tab. Highlight some portion of text in one property (with intention to move to another property), press Ctrl-X to Cut.
ERROR:
Text in property is not Cut. Control is Cut from form. Ctrl-Z (undo) and Ctrl-V (paste) will not restore.
EXPECTED:
Text in property is Cut.
WORKAROUND:
(If control previously saved) Immediately close project and do not save changes. Lose recent edits but not any controls prior to last save.

IDE main window is seeing/responding to keystrokes while focus is in Toolbox window.

Hello,
In the current version, the IDE uses two paths for x86 and x64. But in the newer freebasic compiler there is only one FBC.EXE compiler; Can we consider putting only FBC.EXE or do we have to put it in the x86 and x64 path for the build versions to be carried out? Or we will have a version that supports this adjustment.
thanks.

When using mixed case keywords such as UByte, UShort, ByVal, ByRef etc are changed to Ubyte, Ushort, Byval, Byref, would be nice if it did not change these.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start WinFBE
2. Close all files (if any is open)
3. Press Ctrl + S or F12.

Expected behavior:
Nothing happens. Maybe a beep sound for failure to execute command.

Actual behavior:
Crash.

RECREATE:
In code window, highlight a section of code with the intention to replace in selection. With code selected, go to Replace dialog (Ctrl-R), and edit Find, Replace fields. Decide to select all text in field press Ctrl-A to Select All.
ERROR:
Text in field is not selected. Selection of code in code window is expanded to all code.
EXPECTED:
Text in field is selected (all text). Code selection does not change.
WORKAROUND:
Must return to code window and re-apply desired selection.
VERSION:

OPINION:
Related to #21
IDE main window is seeing/responding to keystrokes while focus is in Replace dialog.

Upon opening Help (F1) I see a list of topics on the left hand side, but no matter what I click there is never any content in the main pane.

This is on Windows 10 Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045

RECREATE:
In code window, highlight a section of code with the intention to replace in selection. With code selected (in general selection color), go to Replace dialog (Ctrl-R), and edit Find, Replace fields. General selection highlight will be replaced with Replace-highlight color. Perform replace.
Decide to highlight a different section of code near, but separate from original selection (so that you can see both areas at the same time). Return to code window and make selection. Newly selected code is highlighted in general highlighting color. But...
ERROR:
...since new selection is near old one, it possible to see both, and to see that the Replace highlighting is still on the original selection, and not yet on the recent selection. Note that the Replace dialog is still open and values are in the fields.
In the Replace dialog, edit one of the field values, either Find or Replace, and the new selection will then have the general selection highlight replaced with Replace-highlight color. However, the old selection area will still also have the replace highlight color.
EXPECTED:
With the Replace dialog active, the new selection would immediately use replace-highlighting.
On a new selection, the old selection would immediately clear Replace-highlighting (and all selection highlighting).
WORKAROUND:
Despite the apparent drawing inconsistency, the most recent selection appears to be the operative one, and the user can continue to replace anyway.
If the old highlighting is too distracting, it is possible to clear it by clicking the Selection button in the Replace dialog.
VERSION:
2.1.8

WinFBE.ini
Some default settings should be changed:

TabSize should be 4. It's uncommon to see tab sizes at 3.

HighlightCurrentLine should be off by default. It's taboo for text editors to highlight the entire line

ConfineCaret should be enabled. It's more likely that the user just wants to set their caret to the end of the line rather than in the middle of the screen. Clicking in the middle of the screen is easier than maneuvering your cursor to where you want it. This way people can just eye-ball it.

KeywordCase should be set to 3 by default (original case) because the editor should not be meddling with the programmer's casing unless the programmer wants it. Typically they don't. Best to keep it off by default.

Regardless of what combination of properties I configure (MaxLength 32000), I never can enter more characters (lines) in the textbox than possible within the visible view. No scrolling happens. There must be something that I missed.....

RECREATE:
This one is harder to mail down. Was able to recreate with scenario involving multiple replaces in a selection. Only happened on subsequent (2nd) replacement, but not 3rd (maybe just because of the following steps), and the 2nd replacement involved: editing the Replace field with a variation of the first replacement, then changing the Find, and finally firing the Replace All in the selection. (Update: saw it happen when editing the Find field but NOT the Replace field, so scenario is not solid.)
ERROR:
All replace targets are replaced except the last in the selection. Replace dialog shows 1 more candidate found, and clicking Replace All again changes the remaining item.
EXPECTED:
All found items are replaced with a single click of Replace All button.
WORKAROUND:
If one is missed, click the Replace All button a 2nd time, and it will get the last time too.

RECREATE:
(Using v2.1.8 (64-bit) under Win7 in VirtualBox 6 under Linux Mint 20.1)
After testing the IDE in a folder under my downloads, I moved it into C:\Program Files\WinFBE_Suite and touched up the paths in WinFBE.ini. Trying to compile a project already created, I got the error message above.
WORKAROUND:
Instead of moving the app again, I recalled that in Win/DOS there is an 8.3 format alias for long files/paths or with spaces. Use "dir /x" to see aliases. Alias for "C:\Program Files" on Win7 is "C:\PROGRA~1". Making this substitution in WinFBE.ini allowed compile to complete.

I apologize if this has already come to your attention.
P can be whatever and its valid as long as word2 is "cross" or "floor". I had to rewrite as in picture 1.

Where is the toolbox ? I like the toolbox of v2

Hi,
Thanks for this superb IDE. I just tried to compile the source code of version 1.7.4 in WinFBE 1.7.4 editor. But it says an error in line number 1271 on WinFBE.bas. Something related to mixing data types. How to fix this ?

The function list is not updating properly.

Settings.zip

I included my setting file.

Everything works as expected in 32bit version of IDE. For 64bit version, if I open a new file and start typing code, the IDE will not provide codetips for UDTs, either as suggesting for variable types after "AS" or with "." and "->" member select operators.

If I open an existing file, all codetips already in the file work, either in a single file or a project, but new UDTs don't give codetips until the file is saved, closed, then re-opened.

I am a first time user of WinFBE and just did a fresh installation of WinFBE 2.0.9 64 bit. For my project I tried to set the compiler to use -lang fblite by putting -lang fblite in both the the Project->Project Options->Other Options entries and also checking the Options->Build Configurations->Language compatibility check boxes. Even though this is done, this option is not passed to the compile command line when Compile->Build and Execute is selected. Ouput is shown below. It also appears the the default options for the build (i.e. Win64 GUI (Release)) have not been passed (i.e. -s gui).

When click Toolbar Button "Open" or "New" , the application crashes or throws exceptions.

I Am visually impaired and because Basic language is powerful and also simple, it would be ideal programmers tool also for visually impaired developers. It would be, but actually it is not. Why? Because many modern IDES uses from visual creators. Those tools are perfect for sighted developers, because every change inside form can be seen on The screen. Drag and drop operations allow sighted developers to quickly position individual GUI elements on The screen. But unfortunately, this visual approach is unusable for visually impaired developers.
So I have The following plea on you.
How complex would be to modify The following GUi creation library, which have been formerly developed for Autoid scripting language? The aim of this library was to allow visually impaired developers to create GUI with no need to insert numbers, which defines object position on The screen.
Here is Github link on The library.
https://codeload.github.com/jamalmazrui/Layout_by_Code/

zipped Autoid library with samples and documentation is here.
https://codeload.github.com/jamalmazrui/Layout_by_Code/zip/master
My kind plea is, if somebody who have advanced Windows APIS knowledge would be so kind and could modify this library, so Free Basic developer could use it also by using yours amazing IDE.
I do not want to have unrealistic plea which would allow Me to use yours visual GUI designer with screen reader. It would require too much work from you and it would destroy The visual aspect of this powerful IDE. My goal is to have The opportunity to develop application also with GUI but with no need to relay on visual designer.
Thank you very much for yours feetback and for yours reaction on my plea.
With deepest appreciation.

If I modify the file that is open in the WinFBE IDE in an external editor the ide correctly shows a message to that effect but if I click "reload" the IDE crashes immeadiately.

Hello,

I installed WinFBE but it does not seem to have the fbc.exe listed in the toolchain in the "Environment Options" ---> "Compiler Setup" and does not seem to allow me to browse to add a location on my Windows 11 system.

Hoe can this be fixed?

RECREATE:
Create code with multiple functions, subs. Split code window. Click lower pane to put focus there.. Observe that Function/Sub drop-down list tracks which method has cursor.
One: Click in upper pane, choose any other method than what you were visiting in lower pane.
Two: Change the selected method while the upper pane has focus.
ERROR:
One: Note that drop-down list of methods is not set to the method visited in the upper pane; it is still pointing to the method visited in the lower pane.
Two: Note that even though the focus is in the upper pane, it is the lower pane that is updated when the drop-down list selection is changed by the user.
EXPECTED:
One: Drop-down list of methods points to the currently-visited method in whichever pane has the focus.
Two: Changing the drop-down list selection will change the pane that has focus.
WORKAROUND:
none
VERSION:

RECREATE:
Enter Toolbar Editor dialog. Add Button. Set Tooltip text. Press OK. Press F5 to compile/run. App starts. Hover mouse over toolbar button. Tooltip displayed. First character is one that was not entered in designer. Subsequent characters are all those entered in designer EXCEPT the first. Example: 'New' becomes 'xew', 'Open' becomes 'xpen', etc, where 'x' is some some semi-consistent character (meaning that it was some foreign character the first time I saw it, but it is currently 'H').
ERROR:
Tooltip text displayed consists of all text entered except first character, which is replaced by a character that was not entered.
EXPECTED:
Tooltip text displayed consists of all text entered.
WORKAROUND:
Enter one sacrificial character first, followed by desired text; tooltip displayed will be readable but have one unexpected character in front.

OPINION:
Possible character-array indexing issue (0 vs 1 index for first position).
Or related to discussion in your forum (https://www.planetsquires.com/protect/forum/index.php?topic=4511.0). I see WinBDE's INI setting pointing to english.lang, but I wonder if being in "Program Files" ("PROGRA~1") is tripping it up.

An improvement could be that the editor knows that the IF THEN Statement alteady has an END IF and dont add another one.

Dear MR Squires,
You are one of The most elite Free Basic programmers. Yours complex and fully functional suite allow professional app creation. You have included The best available libraries for Free Basic.
Because you are experienced programmer, yours soul is full of wisdom.
Do you think, that you would give Me advices how to create GUI by using yours WinFormsX modules without yours professional visual designer?
Before you will close this issue. Please keep in mind, that if you would allow visually impaired developers to create GUi with atleast 3 or 4 various object types, it would allow them to make The joy by others visually impaired people. I do not have ambitions to create extremely graphically attractive GUI. I know, that it is un real. I do not have The ambitions to concurrent other professional absolvents of informatic studies on The world.
My personal dream is to bring visually impaired developers The opportunity to use this modern and very compact language.
Functions and procedures inside WinFormsX requires to specify values in Pixels.
Could you write Me which numbers should I add? If sighted developer will use yours visual designer. Does this tool atuoamtically calculates The values, or sighted programmer uses editable field with Pixel values and he must watch The object position on The screen. So if Pixel value has changed, The object positon value also change on The screen?
I know, that I can not simply ignore The value when calling procedures and functions to create buttons and other GUI elements. Lov level APi calls must contain The value.
The most simplest scenario. One listview, button 1 or 3.
I know, that making automated object oriented Pixels calculations is very complex and require geometry and deep mathematical formulas creation knowledge. I also know, that making such thinks for free is rather science fiction.
But if there is at least a little hope, that you could define a formula for calculationg Pixel position, I will do it on my calculator app to create some GUI.
What do you think about helping not only Me?

I Am ready to test and yours help will not be dropped to zero. And my plea would help others

After the forum upgrade, I no longer can access the PlanetSquires forum. It says that the user name does not exist.

The editor can not support Chinese character.

I have a problem with the Frame control.
When I drag a TextBox control over the Frame control,
it does not become a child of the Frame control as it should. If I drag the Frame control, the Textbox control does not move with the Frame.
Waiting for your answer.
Regards.

When I write Chinese in the code, whether in "" or comments, it always displays as "??".
I must select GB2312 in the font settings to display Chinese, but after this setting, deleting a word requires pressing the delete key twice
