Would it be hard to create collapsible regions in LB? I know we can jump to branch labels but I am a huge fan of regions.

What is that?. I like the branch's the best but I am 57 years old and like to program using the command prompt and using ASCII to do the graphics . The first programing laug was IBM Basic I took it in collage command prompt only and your mind LOL .

You would be able to create regions and collapse them letting you ignore sections of code that do not need to be touched. -Region MainMenu 'Code goes here EndRegion MainMenu

Is this something "visual" doesn't? something for the IDE?

Is this something "visual" doesn't? something for the IDE? Here is a snippet of code from C# that allows you to declare a region and collapse it. When you say visual are you talking about Visual studio or Visual as something you can see?

Cundo, Yes, this would be for the IDE. Regions would be created for things like Subs/ Functions (automatically where this feature exists in other languages) and in an ideal world the users could set their own as well. Collapsing a Region, if it were a Function let's say, would hide all of the Function's code and only display the actual Function declaration line. This serves to help reduce noise in large programs.
Does that explain it in words a little better?
Nice to see people are already chatting here at the new forum!

Yes, when I say visual, I mean that is something for the IDE, a feature that doesn't go with the code or the core of Liberty Basic.

Taren, do you know you can use external editor with LB? Notepad++ supports collapsible regions (I set syntax highlighting to VB)

I agree, regions would very handy. I use old LB builder because it has a rudementary implementation of regions. Makes the code forest less dark and scary.
