Documentation of new features that twinBASIC brings, including Attributes, Language Syntax, Project Configuration, Standard Library Enhancements, GUI Components, and Design Experience and Compiler Features.

Very good, very useful.
I really need to get on finishing that... everything is listed (that I know of, I just found another new feature left off the list last week after starting that like 6mo ago-- binary literals, &B010101)... but down by the bottom it's still just the list without lengthier explanation.
If anyone wants to write the sections on generics and Implements Via, those are incomplete because I don't really understand the syntax and usage enough to write a good explanation and I've been hoping someone else would at least pick those two up. If you do you can send it to me to post; I have write access.
Fafalone has updated the twinBASIC Features wiki, including a section on Modern IDE features.

Fafalone has updated the twinBASIC Features wiki, to include an example of simple inheritance using Implements Via
https://github.com/twinbasic/documen...-to-implements
I've read the documentation several times now and each time I become increasingly excited about the prospects of TwinB as a replacement for VB6. Looking forward to using it in anger.
Fafalone has added sections to the new features list on array destructuring, enumid for guids, and an example of generics.

Fafalone has updated the twinBASIC Features wiki. There are now 424 new features!
github.com/twinbasic/documentation/wiki/twinBASIC-Features
This reads fantastic, all these are not just like features of VB7 but something out of VB8 and beyond! :-))Quote:

It absolutely feels like that to be sure, but the '424' is referring to the new features introduced by Beta 424, the first release after the dark days of the 2 month refactor :D
The sort order I was going for was to list the big-ticket items first in each section, the things that are a huge deal. Binary literals and /* */ comments are nice, but they're not the headliners that make people think "omg I've got to get tB NOW!" like 64bit, multithreading, etc.Quote:

I would suggest considering these points if that's in fact what you're trying to build here, of course I could be completely misunderstanding what you're trying to do.

Does tB's IDE provide a menu editor where I can assign keyboard shortcuts for menu items? For example, I want to assign CTRL-S to a Save menu item. I'm not seeing it.
AAraya, this thread is about documentation for TB, open your own thread for a new and distinct issue.
The twinBASIC programming features documentation has been updated.

bclothier has added a cdecl callback example:
twinbasic/documentation/wiki/twinBASIC-Features#cdecl-support
and an entry for variadic arguments:
twinbasic/documentation/wiki/twinBASIC-Features#variadic-arguments-support
fafalone has added a section for the newDelegate call by pointer syntax:
twinbasic/documentation/wiki/twinBASIC-Features#delegate-types-for-call-by-pointer
and updated the 'twinBASIC Compiler Constants' page to include the new TWINBASIC_BUILD constant
twinbasic/documentation/wiki/twinBASIC-Compiler-Constants
The latest version also supports static compilation of SQLite. Obj files.The function of twinbasic is becoming more and more powerful. I don't know when the first version will be officially released.
twinBASIC allows the use of properly compiled .lib and .obj files as statically linked libraries, allowing incorporation of code from other languages.
See https://twinbasic/documentation/wiki/twinBASIC-Features#static-linking-of-obj-and-lib-files for more information.

Fafalone has updated the twinBASIC documentation wiki to cover the CheckMark new control.
The CheckMark control is a scalable check component to use instead of the single size normal CheckBox control.
Its primary purpose is for reports.
