Title: Questions about Emergence BASIC
Post by: ACall on December 03, 2006, 01:51:25 AM
Does the editor support auto indenting from the previous line?

Does the editor do any additional automatic indenting for various block constructs such as logicals, or looping?

Is there a limit on the number of global variables?

Is there a limit on the length of variable names?

How many characters of the variable name are used to determine uniqueness?

What documentation is available?

Thanks...Archie

BTW: I previously purchased IBPro although I have stopped using it because of sparse support!

The editor doesn't yet support auto indenting.  Once I have the scintilla control implemented it will though.

There is no limit on global variables.  The maximum length of variables names is 64 characters, and all are unique.  They are not case sensitive.

There is complete documentation provided through htmlHelp documents.

Darn -- you are fast!

For IBPro, I wrote an AutoIT macro that did the indenting while the editor was active.  Not sure if that will work with Emergence.

Are their other third party editors that might suffice while working in line with Emergence?

Is the Scintilla control a longer range goal, or something that'll come with the next update?

I remember something on IBPro about default heap space or some other space issue that limited the number of variables!!

Thanks...Arch
