Build 353 so far...
EDITED to add this item.
-Fix a bug with BYREF where the reference to a variable passed into a SUB or
FUNCTION was not being passed by reference at all when the call stack is
more than one level deep.
-Fix a bug where a BYREF variable was not resolving properly inside a SUB or
FUNCTION.
-Fix error when using STATICTEXT TEXT( ) function
-Fix incorrect size of main window when using the debugger
-More work on the new main window code to squash bugs and aid performance.
-Pen size is not being maintained between drawn items, such as rectangles as
noted in drawx.bas
Fixed.
-Using LOCATE in the main window using floating point values fails with an
error.
Fixed.
-BMPBUTTON corner anchoring was not functional. Anchoring was defaulting to
upper left.
Fixed.
-Main window is rewritten to use a different text widget. This is to
improve font handling in a cross platform way. NOTE: This is where the
bulk of my effort has been since build 352 was released.
-Add support for REMOVESPRITE, SPRITEVISIBLE, and SPRITEORIENT.

Okay here are the LB5 353 release notes. Build 353 will be released over the next few days.
Build 353 Notes
==============================================================================
-Implemented automatic EDIT menu for windows with text controls. Also added
support for:
'Add the default Edit menu here
MENU #handle, "Edit"
'Add a custom Edit menu here. This is new for LB5
MENU #handle, "&Edit", "Label1", [action], "Label2", [action2], etc.
-Implemented
#graphicbox "stringwidth? strExpr$ pixelsWide"
and also
#graphicbox stringwidth(strExpr$)
-Add debug$() to files.
-Implemented MAPHANDLE.
-Fix CONTENTS$() and LINE$() for the main window.
-Implement !FIND, !FINDBACK, !RESETFIND, FIND(), FINDBACK(), RESETFIND() for
textwindow and texteditor.
-Fix for a type mismatched error when using replstr$()
-Radiobuttons which are not contained in a groupbox would cause a runtime
error. Fixed.
-Fix a bug in font selection where failing to specify a font point size
would cause a runtime error.
-Start work on STRUCT and CALLBACK. More work to do before this stuff
works.
-Extending the functionality of CALLDLL to use the specified library. Up
to now CALLDLL was always calling against Windows built in libraries only
even if OPEN was being used with other DLLs. More work to do.
-Change debugger code font to be fixed width
-Make LPRINT and DUMP work
-Make the Release Notes and Help menus work in the code editor window.
-Added a dark mode as a code editor coloring scheme.
-Added a bunch of missing globals including CommandLine$, the widget color
vars and printer related globals.
-Fixed the columnar printing (i.e. PRINT a, b) to be 14 characters wide to be
compatible with LB4.
-Tweaked the debugger to put a * in front of values that are passed by
reference.
-Fix a bug with BYREF where the reference to a variable passed into a SUB or
FUNCTION was not being passed by reference at all when the call stack is
more than one level deep.
-Fix a bug where a BYREF variable was not resolving properly inside a SUB or
FUNCTION.
-Fix error when using STATICTEXT TEXT( ) function
-Fix incorrect size of main window when using the debugger
-More work on the new main window code to squash bugs and aid performance.
-Pen size is not being maintained between drawn items, such as rectangles as

Carl,
How difficult would it be to implement a feature to leave out the automatic "Edit" menu if the programmer chooses.
Something like:
#myWindow.myTxtEditor noEditMenu()
Or, ... Instead of "Yes"/"No" 1/0 could be used...?
#myWindow.myTxtEditor editMenu("YES")
'Or
#myWindow.myTxtEditor editMenu("NO")
I am just thinking about options since people have repeatedly wanted to remove the automatically generated TextEditor's EDIT Menu.

Also, with respect to getting a string's width from a GraphicBox, how do we set a "pixelsWide" variable (or any other return variable for that matter) with this line of code? Maybe I missed this somewhere along the way...?
#graphicbox stringwidth(strExpr$)

probably NOT making (creating or displaying) default Edit menu unless user explicitly asks for it?
IMHO I do not remember EVER using that default Edit menu anyway.

If I got rid of it, someone would miss it, for sure. That's just the way of things.  Anyway, the new feature allows you to customize the Edit menu completely. |
