TYPEs introduced.

What's ready:
create TYPEs (User Defined Types)
arrays of types
use elements both for assignement and for expressions

What's not ready:
usage optimization (using types elements will be slower than using standard variables)
arrays inside types
passing types to functions
recursive data structures
other functionalities need more testing

Version updated.

Mainly TYPE fix and improvements (error handling and script execution).
Also forgot to say that this new preview has incorporated thinBasic SDK for all supported thinBasic development environment. thinBasic SDK permits development of thinBasic modules (thinBasic language extension).

More speed when using TYPE elements.
PARSE function implemented with nice new functionalities.
Big redesign in using external DLL functions and API calling
Introduction of RMChart (see www.rmchart.com ) a nice charting library. Example under thinBasic\SampleScripts\RMChart give an idea on how to use external library. Still some work to do on passing parameters.

Many internal fix.

Version updated.

Mainly internal fixes and some work on TYPEs to the road of arrays inside types and recursive types.
New function Library_Exists

**ErosOlmi** · 06-04-2006, 16:41

Version Updated.

Arrays inside Types introduced. Not very well tested but should work.
Still to fix assignement with prefix like += -= *= /= \=.
So something like "x.bbb(count) += Count" will not work correctly.

A working example:

TYPE MyType
    aaa     AS STRING * 10
    bbb&#40;10&#41; AS STRING * 2
    ccc     AS LONG
    ddd&#40;10&#41; AS LONG
END TYPE

DIM x AS mytype
DIM count AS LONG

x.aaa = "123456789|"

MSGBOX 0, "x.aaa&#58; " & x.aaa

FOR count = 1 TO 10
    x.bbb&#40;count&#41;  = Count
    x.ccc         = x.bbb&#40;count&#41;
    x.ddd&#40;Count&#41;  = x.ccc
NEXT

MSGBOX 0, x
MSGBOX 0, "x.bbb&#40;10&#41;&#58; " & "&#91;" & x.bbb&#40;10&#41; & "&#93;"
MSGBOX 0, "x.ccc&#58;     " & "&#91;" & x.ccc & "&#93;"
MSGBOX 0, "x.ddd&#40;5&#41;&#58; " & "&#91;" & x.ddd&#40;5&#41; &  "&#93;"
