  Diving into Z-S's SB.js web program
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 06-25-2025, 01:48 PM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - Replies (2)

Z-S shared me a project while I started to create SBJS, and I think it's fast enough, very well engineered.
First I tried this:

Code:
textwindow.writeline("hello, world!");
It probably made sense to include a semicolon, because it maybe was just custom JS objects + classes running with eval() on the background.
Then went on to test some classic SB syntax:
Code:
for i=1 to 5
textwindow.write("Hello, world! ");
endfor
Surprisingly, it worked.
Then tested this:
Code:
uinput = textwindow.read();
textwindow.writeline(uinput);

Also it used the browser's native input box dialog instead of a text cursor within the console.
Then tested JS multiline notes:
Code:
/* Multiline notes
on SB.js */
It was ignored. Didn't throw any errors.
It probably supported my belief of custom JS objects + classes on the background running with eval(). Z-S is truly a web mastermind, and I appreciate that.
Anyway you can try Z-S's SB.js at https://www.zs.rf.gd/SBJS/

  SBJS coming soon
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 06-24-2025, 07:02 PM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - Replies (2)

I've decided to port Small Basic to JS... Literally.
I've decided to make the SB implementation of JS also more web-friendly, and also C#-like (i.e TextWindow => Console)
Imagine making websites on SB, like the old Silverlight Small Basic Player days and SBO but web-wide.

  Google Search Terminal SB Edition v2.0_01
Posted by: sm4llprogrammer2008 - 06-24-2025, 01:27 PM - Forum: Standard Small Basic - No Replies

Hotfix for one of my longest programs ever.
Still requires SB 1.2 + LD and ZS extensions.
The fix is located on the info of the 'mnu' / ShowMenu() / Menu() invocations, where semicolons were added for added clarity (inside some help info strings not to separate SB statements).
ID: MSNS590.000
Listing: https://smallbasic.com/program/?MSNS590.000
Code is too long.

And I've been making it today.
It actually launches a search (via LDProcess) and also parses the query, but doesn't URL encode it.
More features might come soon (GST: SBE v2!)

totype[6] = "e"
totype[7] = "."
totype[8] = "c"
totype[9] = "o"
totype[10] = "m"

For i=1 To Array.GetItemCount(totype)
  TextWindow.Write(totype[i])
  Program.Delay(70)
EndFor

TextWindow.WriteLine("")
TextWindow.Title = "Google Terminal 8981"
TextWindow.ForegroundColor = "Yellow"
TextWindow.Write("WARNING: ")
TextWindow.ForegroundColor = DefaultColor
TextWindow.Write("It is recommended to run this simulation with a really fitting typeface style! Right-click the title bar, click 'Properties', go to 'Font' and scroll until you find 'Raster Fonts', then select it, then select 7x12 on the 'Size' section and click 'OK' (works best on Win10/11, might work on 8/8.1 or 7 though)")
TextWindow.WriteLine("")
PauseNoMsg()
TextWindow.WriteLine("")
TextWindow.Write("Google is starting")
For i=1 To 10
  TextWindow.Write(".")
  Program.Delay(100)
EndFor

TextWindow.WriteLine("")
For i=1 To 6
  TextWindow.WriteLine("")
EndFor

Logo()
TextWindow.WriteLine("")
Search()
PauseNoMsg()

It all started when I realized SB's conhost instance's typeface could be tweaked to feel more like DOS.
In Win10/11, first you'd Win+R, then type 'conhost', then right-click the titlebar, then click 'Properties', then go to 'Font', then scroll 3 times (w/ a mouse) until you find "Raster Fonts", then click it, and then select 7x12 from the 'Size' list, then click 'OK'.
I'm playing around with this typeface, it feels like Windows 7 when WT did not exist and console host was king!

  LDGraphicsWindow.TransparentGW() only one
Posted by: martmen - 06-11-2025, 11:54 AM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (2)

Hello LitDev,

In the BJTN694.000 program, I am trying to create four windows. Windows 1–3 using LDGraphicsWindow.TransparentGW(), and the fourth window with LDWindows.Create().
However, only the first and last windows are being generated. Can LDGraphicsWindow.TransparentGW() only create one window at a time?
Is there anything you can change about this?

Best regards,
Martin

  Replace Small Basic?
Posted by: z-s - 06-09-2025, 02:22 AM - Forum: Discussion - Replies (12)

After all discussion I think i should create SharpBasic basic version of CSharp with small basic syntax and library but much more stuff.
So I set this my current goal but I need help of you people on this forum for every step.
So first should we create it on .Net core (8,9,10) or .net framework 4.8

EDIT BY litdev

Split from https://litdev.uk/mybb/showthread.php?ti...16#pid2316 since this is a big new topic

  working with two windows
Posted by: martmen - 06-07-2025, 08:42 AM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (1)

Hello LitDev,

when working with two windows, the current window must be activated. In the first window, I create controls, such as a text shape. In the second window, I create a ListView. The second window is the active window. Can I simply change the text of the text shape, or do I need to activate the first window first?
The question is: when does a window need to be activated?
I’m looking forward to the answer.

Best regards,
Martin

  Error by LDGraphicsWindow.FloodFill
Posted by: martmen - 06-07-2025, 08:31 AM - Forum: Extensions - Replies (1)

Hello LitDev,
In the program MJPH297.000, the command

Code:
LDGraphicsWindow.FloodFill(HGWW, HGWH, "Yellow")
is executed incorrectly. It does not fill the rectangle in the center of the window. Could you please correct this?

Thank you,
Martin
