Your an idiot.. it would be very useful and since the language is made in C++ it would be kinda easy to do.. and since we do have good addon programmers i say they should make a .DLL

I don't want a plugin! I want an upgrade!
It seems like each time i download a plugin i have to delete another because they don't work together for some reason.
A few additions that i would like to see are:
- being able to embed plugins, to keep program folders less crowded
- create installation process, so we can add terms and conditions for our programs
- to be able to change the program's icon, to look more professional
- fix the resize window option, for some reason when i resize the window, only the window's size changes and the graphics stay the same size.

You don't need to change B4GL for that. Just have it display a screen showing the terms and conditions with a method to accept/decline (buttons, keys, whatever). If they decline, exit the program. Otherwise, run it. Maybe create a file in the program's directory to use as a flag so that next time it's run it won't ask them to accept/decline again.

To what are you referring supermonkey? I would also like to add: Deallocation- to complete memory allocation scheme Character Literals - you know what this means  Complete the opengl 1.1 spec in basic4gl -darkjester |

Another thing that i think would be good, is if you could copy paste functions and constants from teh function/constant list, and lastly the ability to have multiple programs in the same ide window(like whenever your in a different program tab you can run a different program from a different tab as well as the usual includes in another tab, please note if you need me to clarify -darkjester

ctrl + tab functionality to alternate tabs would be very useful

What Supermonkey meant is that just because C++ has block commenting doesn't mean that it would make it any easier to implement in B4GL. Which is true. It makes no difference whatsoever.
It would probably be fairly simple to do anyway.

The question about Copying & Pasting from the Functions & Constants list has already been answered here. Just highlight what you want with the mouse & use the Crtl + Ins keys to copy & Crtl + v to paste. |

what about multiple returns in functions?
eg
dim x,y,a,b,Xdistance#,Ydistance#,distance#
function distance(x1,y1,x2,y2)
dim xdis#,ydis#,distance#
xdis# = x2 - x1
ydis# = y2 - y1
distance# = sqrt((xdis#*xdis#) + (ydis#*ydis#))
return xdis#
return ydis#
return distance#
endfunction
'give them some values
x = 2
y = 4
a = 7
b = 8
'return multiple values like so...
Xdistance# = distance(x,y,a,b)(0)' first returned value
Ydistance# = distance(x,y,a,b)(1)' second returned value
distance# = distance(x,y,a,b)(2)' third returned value
'have it return multiple values determined by these numbers
printr Xdistance#
printr Ydistance#
printr distance#
im not sure if this is already possible some other way but ive tried different ways and havent figured it out.
Just a suggestion. Instead of needing multiple functions with common values, just have it done in one.

There is an example here on my Wikispace which shows how to return multiple values from a Function in Basic4GL. |
