#PRINTING FROM PUREBASIC FREE#

It may be that the community is accustomed to free PureBasic libraries and there is no stimulus to produce a decent version of VD. You can find NextDatabaseRow, FirstDatabaseRow, PreviousDatabaseRow but no statement for LastRow. There may be an opportunity for Firefly, Phoenix or EZGUI.Īlso in Database I not know why does not exist a LastDatabaseRow.

This way i could Print on a PDF Printer as well as on a Laser Printer getting the same results. Having said this, the reason why i chose PureBasic for my current Project is that it has an Vector-Print Library that Prints on any device with a constant size. Its so much faster then to handcode all the stuff. So far i coded today with PureBasic and the biggest problem i have is that i simply miss FireFly from Paul :-). I did not yet check if there are actually changes. Means in scientific cases you had to 'Hand code' your Loops. How about Loops, can it make an 'For i.f=0.001 TO 10.09 STEP 0.5' actually?ĭid not try. There is NO good VD for PureBasic anywhere.ĭid not Edwin have something in the Past?īesides that, Purebasic has some limitations from the Compiler for Example, it has no 'GOSUB', but ok. It can not compete against FireFly (for Freebasic -and thats even Freeware). It does need a Updated Visual Designer - the built in is free, but even the commercial PureForm does not look better. ' thats Dinosaur-Technology we had this until PowerBasic 8. Besides that PureBasic would need a second Pass, i do not like to always write 'DECLARE. About the price, features and libraries, nearly all that you write is also my opinion.Ģ. Ok, about the Compiler, i see it like this:ġ. Possibly you do not even know the difference to FireFly, Phoenix 2 or even QTAB. Of course if you are used to PureBasic, thats just like you are used to a car XY and you get also used to deal with these shortcomings. Ok, in my Opinion, Powerbasic still has a lot of advantages in the Compiler and about the Visual Designers.īut Fred and the people there are aware of the shortcomings as i see it. The other Topic was about SpiderBasic mostly. I have splitted and remixed this Topic, because you are making an Comparison with PowerBasic.Īlso this way its easie to read for people. your wife says you have to keep using it.) :) but you paid good money for that hand-mower. You know, you could go out and buy a new riding lawn-mower. it gets the job done, but you're left dripping wet with sweat. Using PowerBASIC is like using a hand-mower to cut your lawn. Here's some critical things about PowerBASIC maximum number of source lines: 800 lines (approximate. no development kit for external libraries you can't use the whole external Win32 API support The demo-version of PureBasic is limited as shown below: The 'DEMO' version of PureBasic is available at: PureBasic 5.41 (latest is always available). Used how it was intended, it's perfectly adequate.īesides PureBasic is 'MILES' ahead of PowerBASIC in many areas.Īll FREE for you to use 'if you wish' (yes, if used, they will add some size to your EXE)Īnd, besides the above, there's at least 2 gigs of samples located on the PB forums (just checkout the Tips and Tricks sub-forum) In PureBasic the Visual Designer is a free add-on to help a few 'NEW' people to get started with simple Windows forms.
