Tell me what you think.

Tell me WHY you think so.

Because a new QB could come with native mouse support, because I hate dealing with all of that ASM.

or you could always just use...

(I suppose you can guess what goes after "use")

He cant, he's new..

QB is considered a dead language by many people because most modern BASIC interpreters have surpassed it.

Try using FB or take it up a notch and go for VB.

FreeBasic rocks... And should be considered the next QB version... if only technicaly... 8)

Take a look at this, and see what you think:
http://fbide.sourceforge.net

Then run this with it:
[syntax="FreeBasic"]SCREEN 13
DO
GETMOUSE MouseX, MouseY, MouseWheel, MouseButton
LOCATE 1, 1: PRINT "X"; MouseX; " |Y"; MouseY; " |Wheel"; MouseWheel; " |Button"; MouseButton; " "
LOOP UNTIL INKEY$ <> ""
[/syntax]

heh, that syntax coloring only looks good in oracle, not smartdark though, sumo would it be possible to add an extension / expand the qb extension to hilight fb / convert the coloring scheme to something appropriate to the theme? :oops:

*cries because i can't get FB to work for me*

RPGFan, you'll have to explain how visual basic is 'taking it up a notch'.
