Welcome aboard ChrisC,

It would be great if you could convince some of your other Power(less)BASIC friends to join you on your OxygenBasic adventures.

Hi Chris,

I have not used PowerBasic in the last ten years, so I am a little rusty, but Oxygen Basic has the core essential subset of PB functions from which all others can be derived.

If you post some key pieces of PowerBasic source code, we could show how it can be translated into O2.  This could form the basis for a PBtoO2 transitional manual.

Thanks Charles and John

I have attached a powerbasic  ListView with Statusbar example for you to convert to O2.

In regards to getting people to change over to O2, I will writing to those PB forum members who are
interested to change over. They are some who live by self denial and heads in the sand ones, which
I would just ignore.

Appreciate your help.

THis is a PowerBasic program which build up a number array and to use PowerBasic Array scan
command to search for the array index matching a given number 15

Here is my attempt at your function in Script BASIC.

Code: Script BASIC
  1. Ast = "Hello, world, What, a,  Nice, day, outside,  My,  Window "
  2.  
  3. SPLITA Ast BY "," TO AstArray
  4.  
  5. OPEN "ArraySplitOut.txt" FOR OUTPUT  AS #1
  6. FOR x = 0 to UBOUND(AstArray)
  7.   PRINT #1, x, "\t",TRIM(AstArray[x]),"\n"
  8. NEXT
  9. CLOSEALL
  10.

I have attached  2 files describing how to convert from PowerBasic to PureBasic.
Perhaps these documents can form the basis of converting from PowerBasic to O2

Note that syntax of PureBasic is awkward like they DO NOT have a For Loop and things like

DIM  jkount as long    becomes   Dim jkount.l

These are the syntax, we found difficult to convert to PureBasic,  it is a put off for us Basic programmers

Interesting examples for me
and i like to try convert to o2 using awinh, purebasic is not so problematic
because i have some experience with that basic,, ;D
well i forget add ListView control into my include file so i need to do
first something like this :/first i must translate this code to o2/
dLib code:

Code: [Select]
Declare _lvleft,_lvinit,LV_ITEM,LV_COLUMN

Structure Listviewcolumn
    cmask.l
    cfmt.l
    ccx.l
    cpszText.l
    ccchTextMax.l
    ciSubItem.l
EndStructure

Structure Listviewitem
    mask.l
    iItem.l
    iSubItem.l
    state.l
    stateMask.l
    pszText.l
    cchTextMax.l
    iImage.l
    lParam.l
EndStructure

Procedure FirstListViewInit()
  StructMemory LV_ITEM.Listviewitem
  StructMemory LV_COLUMN.Listviewcolumn
  _lvinit=1
EndProcedure

ProcedureLib CreateListView(_lvhwnd,_lvx,_lvy,_lvw,_lvh,_lvstring.s,_lvcwidth,_lvflag,_ex)
  Declare _lvhandle
  If _lvinit=0
    FirstListViewInit()
  EndIf
  _lvhandle = CreateWindowEx(_ex,"SysListView32","",_lvflag,_lvx,_lvy,_lvw,_lvh,_lvhwnd,0,0,0)
  LV_COLUMN\cmask=#LVCF_FMT|#LVCF_TEXT|#LVCF_WIDTH
  LV_COLUMN\cfmt=#LVCFMT_LEFT
  LV_COLUMN\ccx=_lvcwidth
  LV_COLUMN\cpszText=_lvstring
  SendMessage(_lvhandle,#LVM_INSERTCOLUMN,0,LV_COLUMN)
  GetAsyncKeyState(#VK_LBUTTON)
  ProcedureReturn _lvhandle
EndProcedure

..one thing i am not sure is do i must use typedef struct in listviewInit like :
'init ListView....
Function FirstListViewInit()
  typedef struct LV_ITEM.Listviewitem
  typedef struct LV_COLUMN.Listviewcolumn
  _lvinit=1
End Function

hmm ..i must check VB version  ;D

because there is no users or customers for such a thing .

Good decision for Drake Software - adopting PowerBasic on which it critically depends.

Quote
Drake Software: Established 1977; Employees – 325+; Each year, Drake processes more than 26 million federal and state accepted returns.

Future Path - We use PB in our own product that we distribute to over 50,000 tax offices in the USA. So we intent for PB to be around for a long time. (And that will include new features and new releases - but that will come in time).

Hi Chris,

attached are the project files for my solution of LV Statusbar and an executable + dll for Win 64-bit. The included batch file will create a dll for 32-bit, to create a 32bit executable of LV StatusBar the line:
' executable("LV_StatusBar.exe",32)
must be uncommented in LV StatusBar.o2bas.

I do not know Powerbasic and I am not used to the syntax. But it seems that your program uses memory based dialog templates. This could be done with Oxygen too, but will need a lot of work - see e.g. CreateDialogInderect macro in Win32 Help File. Instead I created resources in a .rc file with help of Resed.exe.

Do you recognize how I tried to implement Powerbasic statements? The app does not achieve all the things your program does, but at some stage a function library would be necessary for this kind of program. This is without doubt the strength of languages like C, Powerbasic or Purebasic which already include such libraries. But I think this was not the main purpose for Charles when he developed OxygenBasic.

I found if I minimize your program and restore it again the listview has disappeared. Also the listview is not adjusted when changing the size of the window.

Charles@ - I noticed that I must use:
int LVN_ITEMCHANGED = -101  ' % does not work in Win64
int NM_CLICK = -2  ' % does not work in Win64
for Win32 I can use % instead of int.

I also noticed that for Win64 I must use:
      sys l=loword(lParam), h=hiword(lParam)-20
      MoveWindow(hListview,0, 0, l, h, true)
'      MoveWindow(hListview,0, 0, loword(lParam), hiword(lParam)-20, true)
For Win32 I can use the commented statement.

Arnold or Roland
You must know one important thing that you cannot replace
include file - you called libraries with resources.
resources are resources and include files or headers are different thing.
ListView as any other native windows common controls can be used
in a way I present here in my example ..
of course you or anyone else can tweak this functions to your needs if you have
enough knowlege or experience.
So i don't see any problem with that ..
and why complicate things using statusbar.dll + mainwin.inc   :o
Just look at a joseRoca huge windows headers which cover most of windows
centric programming with Power Basic.
Title: Re: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions
Post by: Arnold on February 03, 2017, 08:10:03 AM
Hi Aurel,

I am not sure if I understood everything you mentioned. But maybe you read this link about the purpose of resource files:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/windows/desktop/aa380599(v=vs.85).aspx (https://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/windows/desktop/aa380599(v=vs.85).aspx)

What I have seen from the Powerbasic code I assume that the app uses resources which are created in memory during execution and need some more work to implement the necessary functions / structures. I use resources which are created with a resource file script which can be compiled and linked to a dll or exe file.
You create controls/resources via CreateWindow(ex) which is perfectly ok. So I look forward to your solution.

Roland
Title: Re: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions
Post by: Aurel on February 03, 2017, 08:37:24 AM
And again...
I REPEAT :
Windows API functions are NOT resources and include files are NOT resources.
Using header or include files are most common or usual way to create wrapper
functions in many languages and also in Oxygen Basic too.
Resources are :
bitmaps
icons
strings
manifest
etc..etc..
My way is not unusual than standard way to do this things .
So really dont se reason to use .rc files for that .

Charles,

Your O2 array split required few changes. Motivation that you're not locked into PowerBASIC.

FYI - If you didn't get your free legacy version of PowerBASIC, it sounds like the new owners are terminating that offer. Everything should have a price tag is what I'm hearing.


Title: Re: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions
Post by: Charles Pegge on February 04, 2017, 03:40:38 AM

Hi Roland,

Thanks for your listview demo. Negative number  % definitions appear to encode correctly in 64 bit, so I will need to run some more tests.

Hi John,

I have PBWin 9. I assume functions like SHRINK$ and PARSECOUNT$ are in version 10.


My array splitter works in a per-byte single pass, could be adapted quite easily for ascii-delimited splitting.

Code: [Select]
sub ArSplit( GivenSt AS STRING, Delimit$ AS STRING ,Cnt AS LONG)
  local byref b as byte
  @b=strptr(GivenSt)
  local d as byte
  d=asc(Delimit$)
  local i,j,bd,be as long
  for i=1 to len(GivenSt)+1
    select b(i)
    case 0,d
      j+=1
      if bd then tmp(j)=mid(GivenSt,bd,be-bd+1) else tmp(j)=""
      bd=0
      Cnt+=1
    case 1 to 32
      'ignore white space
    case else
      if bd=0 then bd=i 'ltrim position
      be=i 'rtrim position
    end select
  next
end sub

Do you think it would be worth while to create a PowerBASIC .inc for OxygenBasic of functions, workarounds, fixes, ... specific to PowerBASIC? (all versions PBWin / PBCC)

Quote from: Steve Hutchesson
I chuckle at the range of suggestions, porting an existing compiler written in assembler to 64 bit is a pipe dream from folks who don't write assembler. I would bet good money that a 64 bit version of PB will be an entirely new tool. I would wish Adam and Co the best in the direction they end up going in allowing that we have already been told that they will proceed carefully to make sure they get the results right.

I think it would take less time to make O2 PB compatible and 64 bits before PowerBASIC Inc. gets around to 64 bits.
Title: Re: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions
Post by: Charles Pegge on February 05, 2017, 02:07:28 AM

Yes John, PowerBasic.inc could include both macros and functions specific to PB. But we still have the problem of PB specifics like Dialog Create, and Menu Add, not to mention the COM system in PB 10.


re PB 64 bit versions: From my own experience with OxygenBasic. About 15% of the codebase would have to be rewritten, mainly the run-time libraries. So the task is not overwhelming. Adam Drake mentioned that the PB source is about 100,000 lines of Asm in all.

I'm not suggesting that DDT be ported to O2. Most PowerBASIC programmers prefer to call the Windows API rather than Zale's wrapper for it. You already have a start with COM with the work you put into DLLC. There may be something usable from Dave's Script BASIC COM efforts that might make the iDispatch side easier for BASIC users to work with.

José Roca has provided a wealth of functionality to PowerBASIC and would be a big plus if his includes could be used by OxygenBasic.

Post by: Mike Lobanovsky on February 05, 2017, 06:09:55 PM
Don't really see what the problem is. Why not use C headers directly without conversion? Why trash what's already been done to implement this functionality in O2? What's so peculiar about PowerBASIC's SDK programming that would be worth porting to yet another BASIC language, especially now that PB seems to be moving off the dead point its own self? SDK is not PB's programming style, it's Win32's programming style, after all, and Win32 has been designed to be programmed in C and not in PB. Let's not put the cart before the horse.
Title: Re: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions
Post by: chrisc on February 05, 2017, 08:35:08 PM
Thank XXX you all

Mike is right, make use of C headers rather than converting the PB proprietary DDT or SDK. I don't think
Drake Software can launch its 64bit compiler anytime this year.  As they were only taken hold of the
source code on Jan 31 2017 and they were laden with many other loads from their own Taxation system (their main app)

One question is that does O2 compile to native machine code ?  Not sure, I heard that  compiled XOJO is actually in
p-code and only have a partial native code in its compiled exe files.

Why not use C headers directly without conversion?

That makes the most sense to me as well.

The fastest way to a native Windows GUI is with IUP. These GUI toolkits exist for a reason.

Yes Chris,

O2 is a 100% native code compiler. BASIC source is transparently translated to equivalent assembly and then compiled by Charles' core x86/x64 assembler either statically to an on-disk EXE file or dynamically into the process memory. The former mode is primarily used to deploy the solution while the latter one is more handy at the project development and debugging stage. Otherwise the resultant executable machine code is absolutely identical.

Mike,

Would FBSL be a closer match to PowerBASIC than O2?

Hi Roland,

Re: LV_StatusBar: negative equates / 64 bit compiling

The problem traces down to NMLV.hdr.code being defined as a 32 bit UINT. So you are effectively CASE testing 64bit integer numbers against a 32bit uint.

The solution is to cast the select as int, to enforce  64bit sign-extension

SELECT CASE (int) NMLV.hdr.code

Code: [Select]
        SELECT CASE (int) NMLV.hdr.code

          CASE LVN_ITEMCHANGED
              ' when a check box is checked or unchecked it displays
...

Hi Chris,

To follow on from Mike: OxygenBasic was built from machine code - the ultimate bottom-up. The original o and o2 were opcode languages, and became embedded in built-in linker. Assembly code came next, then a macro layer for high level assembler. Then the macro layer was extended to create BASIC.

But I seriously underestimated the complexity of high level languages. It has taken much longer to get there than I originally anticipated,  back in 2008 :)

John,

No, FBSL's BASIC is an interpreter and as such takes much more after VB than PB not only in terms of speed but also in terms of vocabulary and built-in functionality. FBSL's two integral machine code jitters expect their source code to be written in plain ANSI C and Intel style assembly and there's no automatic BASIC-to-C or BASIC-to-Asm translation possible in the current version of FBSL. The three languages can however co-operate at the function level within the same multi-lingual FBSL script passing objects and values to and fro via function arguments and returns and/or sharing them in the same process memory via their pointers.
Title: Re: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions
Post by: JRS on February 07, 2017, 11:25:53 AM
I don't see interpreters being second class citizens when they can easily switch to C or ASM for critical sections of code. 90% of most applications are running idle. Script BASIC for example did the PB array split in .02 seconds including load, tokenizing, and writing out a file. How fast does it have to be?

I use some more code of this kind which select negative constants and which must be adapted for 64bit compatibility.

Hi Chris,

as there are some demos with menus provided with Oxygenbasic there should be no problem. My interest here was to create menus within dialogs (like in the powerbasic code) using a resource file which I created with Resed.exe.

I did not implement the back colors of the menu which seem to need the MENUITEMINFO structure and SetMenuItemInfo function. But I was interested in the MessageBoxIndirect function. Also in accelerators (like F1, Ctrl-O, Ctrl-S) which cannot be used with DialogBox, so I used the CreateDialog macro instead.

Attached are the project files and a 64bit executable as a zip file. There is also a batch file which builds the exe file. (OxygenBasic is expected in c:\). Simp_menu.o2bas will create a 32bit exe, for a 64bit exe these lines must be changed to:

Code: [Select]
'Create Exe File: uncomment executable
'32 for Win32, 64 for Win64
' executable("Simp_menu.exe",32)
 executable("Simp_menu.exe",64)

I developed the project creating a dll like I did with LV_StatusBar. To create a standalone executable I used this trick:

Code: [Select]
...
/*
sys hResources = loadlibrary "Simp_menu.dll"
if not hResources then
  mbox "Error: Simp_menu.dll not found"
  ExitProcess(1)
end if
*/

hResources = hInstance
...

In this way I can create and modify the resources in a dll, can develop and debug the main code and later put everything together in a single file. But of course this is only one way to achieve this goal, many roads lead to Rome.

Thanks Roland,

I hope that unsigned integers being evaluated for negative values are rare!

I have also resolved the hiword(lparam)-20,  parameter problem, which turned out to be a missing cr in Oxygen's 64 bit parameter Asm encoder. I will post a new OxygenBasic update soonest.

I'm doubtful that  PB will ever take off again under the new management.  They haven't even responded

Actually there seems to be 288 of them all in all per approx. 7,000 #defines in the WINDOWS_LEAN_AND_MEAN  and Windows Common Controls set of C headers. :)

Hi Chris,

re: user guides

The Oxygen_help manual, which is rather skeletal, can be found in inf/, along with a few technical docs.

This is all we have for users at present.

OxygenBasic has a minimal set of core functions and macros (around 200), but with a highly flexible syntax, which has stretched considerably since its inception, including OOP and C-notation. So creating the definitive manual is going to be quite a task.

Title: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions
Post by: Aurel on February 10, 2017, 11:08:41 AM
I think not...
One of option will be go trough examples
then explain in short what is what ...
my english is not very good but i can add few more things to this help.
I know some things about o2 but i am not sure that I will explain it very good  ::)

for example :
byte c at strptr(s)

but this one is clear :

string s="Oxygen"
p = cast (string) s
p = p + " Basic"
print p ' -> 'Oxygen Basic'
In this case p becomes string pointer of s and can be used like this
Title: Re: PowerBasic equivalents and conversions

p = cast (string) s

Interesting aspect. Does PowerBasic work this way?

I searched in \inf\oxygen_help.chm for "string" and there are many topics listed which indicate what is possible. There are many demos in examples\Basics\ e.g. Cast.o2bas or Strptr.o2bas which show the use of cast. I have just finished browsing all the demos of the OxygenBasic subfolders but I did not find the combination above which I think is simply not necessary for this example. But maybe this is new territory.

Which reminds me that I am still looking forward to the standard way of a LV statusbar example.

Yeah casting is funny things  :)
BUT when string casting work on this way it looks like in Cast.o2bas  example it
looks that not work ?
So is this a bug or something else ?

float f= 0.56
p = cast (int) f
print p ' ->  must be 1 but o2 throw - > #qNAN ..heh well known garbage

print p   '4 which is expected

Ok Arnold
and fine with small changes with includes i compile this program on win32.
It seems that app work properly , just a small thing main window
flickering like hell when we move or resize but this is problem because
is not added WS_CLIPCHILDREN into window style.
By the way i have similar problem with TAB control even is this contant added ..hmmm.
