WinFBE Suite 1.6.5 (July 15, 2018)

[Paul Squires]

- Added: Visual Designer enabled but it is limited and experimental at this point.
- Added: FreeBASIC Compiler nightly build July 3, 2018 (32 and 64 bit versions).
- Added: Extended style to the Explorer treeview to give it modern looking icons rather than +/- boxes.
- Changed: Removed WinFBX include paths from "Environment Options" / "Compiler Setup". No longer needed.
- Fixed: Quick Run was failing when invoked against unicode editor files. Temp file now output using correct unicode settings.

This is the first WinFBE with the visual designer enabled. It is limited and could be buggy and produce GPFs. Use it with caution and do not depend on it for production code.

The start of the visual designer help file (WinFBE_VisualDesigner.pdf) can be found in the \help folder.

The visual designer is still a major work in progress so please do not assume that all functionality is available and/or working correctly. The purpose of this release to show the progress of the visual designer to date and to allow input from users regarding its direction and whether changes in basic design philosophy should occur at this point.

NOTE: Code may fail, GPF’s may occur in the editor. Do not rely on this version of the designer for any production quality code. Treat this mainly as a demo.
The following areas of the visual designer are not working:
-   Menu Editor
-   Toolbar Editor
-   Statusbar Editor
-   Lock Controls
-   Images/Pictures/Icons. Any control property that relies on these types has not been implemented yet. Need to create an interface between the editor and resource file.
-   Guidelines and snap to lines on the design form

There are only a few controls that have been implemented. More to come as the core structure of the designer itself matures.
-   Forms
-   Label
-   Button (Jose Roca’s CXpButton class)
-   TextBox
-   CheckBox
-   ListBox (only parts of it so far)
-   StatusBar (only through code at this time)
