5.8.11 2023-7-6
Fixed non-stop point search button, more than a few times, VFB must flash back.
Fixed an issue where the project attribute "Use version information" was not checked, but the version attribute would still be compiled
Fixed an issue where files in the "Other Files" area were affected when the editor scheme was set to a non-original format
Fixed an issue where the help area was not prompted when clicking on keywords
Fixed an issue where auto-complete code pairing would pair WITH and ENUM when they were followed by words
Fixed the issue of deleting items in VFB help on crash.
Fixed an issue where the YFTreeView control deleted an item without generating a deletion event for the item
Fixed an issue where shadows in VFB Windows would be added to the taskbar when a software installation restarted System Explorer, or shadows added by VFB-written software window properties (need to be recompiled).
Fixed a crash that occurred while compiling and automatically updating the case of the code.
Fixed an issue where breakpoints could not be hit when debugging 64-bit software.
Fixed an issue where the Yflist control, YFList1.ItemData(i)=xx was invalid
Improved to compile the module first, then compile the window, to avoid the problem of calling one after another, because the module is public and the window is private.
Improved Optimization Auto Correct case, no longer correct case when looking for a replacement and non-standard code and no space at the beginning of the auto correct.
Improved control properties set text is Chinese, compiled in the Chinese system, to the non-Chinese system will display garbled, now forced to use wide characters to save, so that Chinese can be displayed normally.
Improved Click on the EDIT control in the color editing window to cancel the unfocused window mode and type numbers.
Improved optimization code formatting comparison code, improve the speed of code execution (QQ: 1494575481 little brother, optimized)
Improved the EDIT control in the color selection window to type text
New module compilation order adjustment, entered in Project properties.

Fixed search current project, searched for resources and non-text
Change the open project in the file menu to use a dialog box, which is more logical.
Change the compiler with version 1.10, requiring the old version to be downloaded in the VFB group.
Control updates, not included in the software:
Fixed YFbutton does not display the button color correctly when the mouse is released, causing no click display effect.
Improve YFscroll, YFList, YFTreeView YFproTab, YFswitcher, YFbunGroup, YFsplitBar use exclusive class name, is no longer the name of the class.

Fixed incomplete display when parameter prompts in code tips.
Fixed code prompts showing incorrect position and size.
Fixed a missing DLL prompted by user actions in the VFB window
Fixed new projects sometimes not showing BAS project blank templates.
Fixed when debugging, the mouse was placed over the variable, indicating that the window size of the variable value was abnormal
Change the global default setting of fonts for window editing in Cancel Settings.
Change the font of the code prompt to adjust to the font and size of the code editor

Change the "plug point mark" is not automatically added when opening BAS project. If necessary, after opening the file, right-click the menu, insert the project and select "BAS Project Insert point".
Add New project Enter the project name and press Enter to create a new project.
The new WIn7 and XP systems can be like WIN10 systems. Supports mouse wheel on what window, what window has wheel message. The old system was where the focus was, where the rollers were. This is true of both the VFB itself and the compiled software.
When adding mask code input, the shortcut key enters some non-display characters.
Added that code prompts are treated as constants for Enum members that do not have names. If there is a name, you need to type the name and prompt the member.

New yfGDI adds the ability to switch whether GDI+ parameters are integer or not. When drawing some boxes and lines, the phenomenon of blurring occurs without rounding, and some places do not need to be rounded.
==================================New Version End

The author and inventor of this IDE have been collating opinions in the group and releasing new versions of the software.
There are also many fans of this programming language who are "instant communication" programming problems.
It took hundreds of thousands of programming engineers at Microsoft to make a visual IDE development tool for 10 years.
Freebasic really needs an efficient and convenient visual development tool IDE.
FreeBasic—a cross-platform that almost scared me to pee, strange and messy to the desperate Basic language

On August 28, 1980, Gates signed a contract with IBM to agree to develop an operating system for IBM's PC. He then purchased an operating system called QDOS at a price of $ 50,000. After a slight improvement, he renamed the product as DOS and then licensed it to IBM.
In April 1991, Microsoft introduced the Visual Basic 1.0 Windows version. This advancement in connecting programming languages and user interfaces was called Tripod (sometimes called Ruby). The original design was done by Alan Cooper . At the time, it was the first "visual" programming software.

FreeBasic language integrated development environment similar to VisualBasic6. It has grammatical rules highly similar to VB6, has the same powerful functions as C language, supports object-oriented, and can develop 32-bit and 64-bit software, DLL, LIB libraries. It is the best advanced language of VisualBasic6.

VisualFreeBasic combines the advantages of VisualBasic6's simple and easy to use, rapid development, strong C language support, and efficient code execution. It can meet the needs of novice and senior programming enthusiasts to write various types of application software quickly, efficiently, and with high quality .
Are you still crazy about the limitations of VB6? Are you still struggling with the inefficiency of VB6 code execution? Are you still crazy about the cumbersome code of C language? Are you still struggling with the complicated process of C language? Then come to the warm family of VisualFreeBasic. A free, free and inclusive programming family may redefine your understanding of programming and change your future programming direction.
Very green, very pure, do not need any runtime library, unzip to any folder, open and use, integrated IDE, compiler, help, function library, etc., all you do not need to worry about, all you do is write code, and then click The EXE is generated by pressing the compile button, and the generated EXE is also pure green. It does not require any support library and runtime library to run independently.

The project folder contains a large number of sample questions collected and organized by Yongfang Studio, as well as many sample questions written by Yongfang himself.

What can VisualFreeBasic5 do?

Production of 64-bit or 32-bit application software (.exe), dynamic library (.dll), static library (.a) for WINDOWS system
The produced software runs perfectly on WIN PE (micro system, U disk system), XP to WIN10 full range of operating systems

What is FreeBASIC?

FreeBASIC is a free / open source (GPL) BASIC compiler for Microsoft Windows, DOS and Linux.

FreeBASIC is a self-hosted compiler that uses the GNU binutils programming tool as the backend, and can generate console, graphics / GUI executable files, dynamic and static libraries. FreeBASIC fully supports the use of C libraries, and has partial C ++ library support. This allows programmers to use and create libraries in C and many other languages. It supports a C-style preprocessor, capable of handling multi-line macros, conditional compilation, and file inclusion.

Origin of VisualFreeBasic5

Since the birth of FreeBASIC for more than ten years, its IDE has been in the state of a code editor, and there is nothing automated. Except for experienced programming experts, novices ca n’t start, and they ca n’t know where to start. Until 2015, the FireFly software developed by "Canadian" PaulSquires" appeared, which greatly simplified FB programming, so that novices can also use FB to write software.

Although FireFly has brought great progress to FB's IDE, many are unsatisfactory and really difficult to use, so Yongfang began patching FireFly for more than 2 years at the end of 2016, because there is no source code, only Use DLL combined with plug-in technology to repair. Research FireFly has gradually accumulated a lot of experience in IDE.

It has been patched from FireFly 3.X and changed for more than 2 years. It has become very mature and named VisualFreeBasic 4.X. However, due to the lack of IDE source code, it cannot continue to improve and add better functions. At first, it took 5 months to write VFB5 with VFB4 (with experience and imitation, and a lot of code written for FireFly before, it was written in a short time, if there was nothing, because Yongfang wrote it by one person It is estimated that at least 1 year), a stable beta version is released, and VisualFreeBasic5 is born. Programming is endless, life is endless, improvement is not ceaseless, VisualFreeBasic will be getting better and better, to a higher level.

Many people will doubt? FireFly 3.X hasn't been updated after so many years? Yes, no update, because FireFly is developed with PowerBASIC, not FreeBASIC. Paul Squith wanted to use FreeBASIC to develop. Since 2017, he has developed a software called WinFBE, and it is open source, but the development efficiency is too low 3 years later, this software still looks semi-finished, and it is only suitable for experts to play, novices can not play at all, and it seriously deviates from the original FireFly way.

Main functions of VisualFreeBasic5

Visual editing windows and controls, providing various controls.
Organize windows and controls to generate code, including event handling.
Let FreeBasic support Chinese function names, Chinese variable names, and Chinese control names.
Provide a complete set of code prompts, auto-complete and code description prompts
Automatically organize resource files, icons, images, and any files can be added to the resource.
Built-in help, libraries, etc.
VisualFreeBasic5 workflow

Pre-process the code of the project file to generate a temporary code file
Call the FreeBasic compiler to compile temporary code files
Compile error occurs, automatically analyze the location of the code error in the project, and jump the error line.
In the output folder, in the temporary code file, the programming process of the full set of WIN SDK is all here. Open this code to clearly understand the core of WIN programming. VisualFreeBasic has undertaken a very tedious core operation, allowing users to focus on application-level development and easy programming. And the core code is all source code present, you can check for junk code, useless code, etc. at any time, so there is no need to worry about what should not be implanted by the author. If you feel that the core code is not good, you can also contact Yongfang Studio at any time to improve VisualFreeBasic together.

VisualFreeBasic5 is permanently free, unlimited, no advertising, no rogue, no implant, no pollution system, green and environmentally friendly, no installation, no deployment environment, decompression and use.

Does it also help bring peace to the middle east?

Good to know it won't implant anything in me though. You gotta watch out for that with IDEs. 🤣

and it runs on snake oil...

just like rc6.dll,This is a great, free, functional component that allows many developers to use very useful features.

Or it took a lot of time to develop this, and I will recommend and share it in many Chinese forums or technical articles.

Of course, he will not bring peace to the Middle East.
It will not bring any income to the inventor of the developer.

Just learn to share good things.
Now with the twinbasic, VfB tool, it doesn't seem to have much advantage.

[fafalone]

FreeBasic does look like an interesting language and it's good to have a nice IDE for it, but backwards compatibility with VB6 and VBA is a *huge* advantage. twinBASIC is a new generation of an existing language. Whatever the merits of FreeBasic, it's an entirely new language and while some syntax is superficially similar, you can't import existing code in bulk with only minor rewrites in some projects to avoid assemblying thunks hacking internals (and that switch is to an easier, more common method already known to most).

I do like that we have multiple BASIC languages though, so I wish the project luck and will check it out at some point.

You can test the new version.
Free products are rare.If you need any new features or have any good suggestions, please feel free to ask.

The author is getting older and older. When he is full of energy, your ideas are also his motivation.

Generate electricity with love.
An idE developed by VB6 enthusiasts themselves

Tried to test the latest version. It does not display in English, even when its ini file shows english as language option. Also, this project surely needs a dedicated website and forum instead of sharing some shady website with warez links and a forums without community members or even reply option ('Due to national Internet security management requirements, the reply function is turned off.
