Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Peter,
With 440 replies and over 20 thousand views, it seems MMB4W is very interesting to many people. - a testament to all your hard work, many thanks.
Do you have any plans to move forward to a release candidate?
Regards,
Doug.

Bug in GUI SWITCH

MMB4W 5.07.03b18
OPTION CONSOLE BOTH

The bi-furcated switch works as per manual, standard switch does not react to click. The following code demonstrates

gui switch #1,"swi|tch",0,0,100,100,rgb(green),rgb(0,100,0) ' works
gui switch #2,"switch",0,200,100,100,rgb(green),rgb(0,100,0) ' nada
do
 console ctrlval(#1),ctrlval(#2)
 pause 500
loop

Re the switch issue, I notice in the Pico code in GUI.c the following

gui_int_down = true;                 // signal that a MMBasic interrupt is valid
 for(r = 1; r < Option.MaxCtrls; r++) {
    if(Ctrl[r].type && TouchX >= Ctrl[r].x1 && TouchY >= Ctrl[r].y1 && TouchX <= Ctrl[r].x2 && TouchY <= Ctrl[r].y2) {
    if(!(CurrentPages & (1 << Ctrl[r].page))) continue;  // ignore if the page is not displayed
    if(Ctrl[r].state & (CTRL_DISABLED | CTRL_DISABLED2 | CTRL_HIDDEN)) continue;  // ignore if control is disabled
    switch(Ctrl[r].type) {
       case CTRL_SWITCH:   if(!(TouchX >= Ctrl[r.min && TouchX <= Ctrl[r.max)) return;   // skip if it is not the touch sensitive area (depends on the switch state)
            Ctrl[r].value = !Ctrl[r].value;
            break;

While in the MMB4W similar area there is the highlighted difference?
gui_int_down = true;                 // signal that a MMBasic interrupt is valid
 for(r = 1; r < Option.MaxCtrls; r++) {
    if(Ctrl[r].type && TouchX >= Ctrl[r].x1 && TouchY >= Ctrl[r].y1 && TouchX <= Ctrl[r].x2 && TouchY <= Ctrl[r].y2) {
    if(!(CurrentPages & (1 << Ctrl[r].page))) continue;  // ignore if the page is not displayed
    if(Ctrl[r].state & (CTRL_DISABLED | CTRL_DISABLED2 | CTRL_HIDDEN)) continue;  // ignore if control is disabled
    switch(Ctrl[r].type) {
       case CTRL_SWITCH:   if((TouchX >= Ctrl[r.min && TouchX <= Ctrl[r.max)) return;   // skip if it is not the touch sensitive area (depends on the switch state)
            Ctrl[r].value = !Ctrl[r].value;
            break;

The negate  indicator is missing in the MMB4W code - sorry but I don't know enough c or c++ to understand if this is significant.

Regards,
Doug.

Is it true that LIST COMMANDS are missing:
#COMMENT
#DEFINE
#INCLUDE
#MMDEBUG
CAT
EXIT Thu
MMDEBUG
XMODEM

And for LIST FUNCTIONS missing:
BAUDRATE
BIN$(
HEX$(
OCT$(

Or is it an error in the manual?

Nice day.

I'm thinking that XMODEM makes little sense in Windows.

CAT is INC I think.

What is EXIT Thu?

Are the # things actually MMEDIT or some such? (transpiler?)

But many people communicate with systems other than Windows and over long transmission lines, it's good to have the error checking of XMODEM.

Since the thread is about MMBasic for Windows, Windows is already involved and I'm afraid I don't understand the use case. Someone who wants to get a file from a non-Windows device to a Windows device which runs MMB4W probably has a better way to do it than via XMODEM in MMBasic for Windows.

BIN$ etc are there - easy to test.
If they don't appear in the LIST it is probably because they are converted to BASE$( on input.
STR_REPLACE((char*)inpbuf, "BIN$(", "BASE$(2,");
   STR_REPLACE((char*)inpbuf, "OCT$(", "BASE$(8,");
   STR_REPLACE((char*)inpbuf, "HEX$(", "BASE$(16,");


The other 'missing' commands are most likely from CMM2 which the manual is derived from.

  Quote  Are the # things actually MMEDIT or some such? (transpiler?)

Not to my knowledge. But there is something similar in the CMM2.

Hi JanVolk,

#COMMENT, #DEFINE and #INCLUDE are implemented and are in the manual.
#MMDEBUG and XMODEM do not seem to be implemented and will be removed from the next version of the manual.

BAUDRATE is not implemented - it can be set in the OPEN command - see Annex A on using serial.

As Jim said, BIN$(, HEX$( and OCT$( are all implemented and shown in the manual.

I am hopeful of getting a new cut of the manual out in a few days - there have been quite a few other errors fixed.

Cheers,
Doug.

MMB4W 5.07.03b18  - some more anomalies/bugs:-

MM.INFO(OPTION ANGLE)  fails with Syntax. Angle is being correctly acknowledged but the MM.INFO is incorrect.

Same for
MM.INFO(OPTION Y_AXIS)
MM.INFO(OPTION HEIGHT)
MM.INFO(OPTION WIDTH)

F10 generates AUTOSAVE but throws a syntax error because there is no ON | OFF

F11 and F12 generate to XMODEM Rx and Send but XMODEM not implemented.

The result of the following option being set/unset do not show up in OPTION LIST - intentional or omission?
OPTION BASE ON | OFF

Any word on the GUI SWITCH bug logged earlier?

Regards,
Doug.

Thanks Peter,

GUI Switch now works.

Latest cut of the User Manuals are here for the large version with bookmark navigation and here for the smaller version with just page thumbnail navigation.

Thanks for all your work on this,
Regards,
Doug.

Thanks again Doug for all of your hard work. It looks like it is encouraging more people to use MMB4W now and that's why the odd bug is coming out.

Keep safe. Live long and prosper.

Run this with MMB4W

Edit "test.bas"

Print "Dec:         21=" 21
Print "Hex:       &h21=" &h21
Print "Bin: &b00010101=" &b00010101
Print "Oct:       &o21=" &o21

Result:

Dec:         21= 21
Hex:       &h21= 33
Bin: &b00010101= 21
Oct:       &o21= 17

Result is good but with edit the output for colors with Bin, Hex, Oct is not correct.

See also for OldEdit with MMB4W and then with a PicoMite with Edit the above, which does give correct colors with edit and OPTION COLOURCODE ON.

Nice day

Why would they colour? The functions are bin$, oct$ and hex$. The CMM2 and MMB4W are more rigorous on this than the PicoMite

Peter,

I'm still exploring so this was strange to me?

Another difference with MMB4W and PicoMite Basic:

Print "Hex$(23)=" Hex$(23)

With MMB4W gives a different answer than with the PicoMite?

Yeah, why does

print"Hex$(23)"

print

BASE$(16,23)

I want to print what's between the quotes as a literal, not converted in any way.
