there is FBIde as IDE for FreeBasic but are there any other, Perhaps editors like context or crimson can be use as IDE's?????? any Idea's
FIDO is in the process of being made I think.
I use ConTEXT for my IDE. I got used to it when bouncing between Pascal, Basic, and an assortment of other "between" compilers.
I'm using Von Godric's because it was made specifically for FreeBasic. Try using ScinTilla! That thing sucks, imho!!! You might like it though, who knows? Wink

Baaad idea, that would heavy conflict with my BCX installation.
And as long as there is no easy way to implement GUI in FB, i am stuck to BCX for it. But lets see, ill open a thread about EZ-GUI commands
I have used context for different BASIC "flavors" at the same time in the past. Context has 4 different user commands for each file type that is opened.

I had each button set to launch a different basic compiler.

With FreeBASIC, I need two buttons: 1 to launch -s gui and 2 to launch -s console (which is why I keep harping on adding an $apptype to enable source control over the linked system).

But that still leaves two of the four to handle hotbasic and launching the compiled EXE file.
jEdit rocks for editing sources... it's kinda slow to load, but meh...
Directives aint a bad idea really.
I would like to have these in my sources and anyone doesn't need to read the readme text file on how to compile the source.
ie:

Code:
$Stack = 1000000
$apptype = GUI
$Mode = debug  'or Release
Personally I use UltraEdit32. It's a small, fast, clean interface. There is also vSlick, it's a bit bloaty but offers a lot more.
I use fdide but am quickly limited because you cant have multiple files at once open.(unless I used old version :???: )
So I made my own IDE with SharpDevelop in VB.NET.
It still very basic but you can compile and open multiple files. Smile
