Michael;
I downloaded your IDE and you have a long way to go as far
as I can tell. I applaud your efforts though.
I noticed one strange bug in your IDE. When I ran it one time it
worked OK. After I exited the program and then tried to run it
again, it displayed, but did not respond to the mouse or keyboard.
I had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to get the Rask manager and then terminate
the app that way. I am using WIN95 OSR2, if that helps. Maybe it
is a WIN95 thing !
Now, back to your IDE.
There are two major tasks you working on with your concept of the
IDE :
(1) The Code Editor with a built in Parser which will translate
a higher level language (your OOP commands) into native PB code.
(2) A Visual Designer.
Both are major tasks !
I suggest working on the Code Editor first to get it up to speed
and be able to write code manually (like you can with DDT). Get
that part working first and then add Visual Design second.
If the Code Editor works correctly and its parser works as intended
then you have a sound foundation to work on.
Adding Visual Design is a real "big step" and you want to make sure
your code generation and parser are "very solid" first before
moving on.
