Hi,
Where can I find explanations on the various .inc files present in the Includes?
And explanations relating to the three projects?
Thanks.

Hi Nicola,

ProjectsA: O2 frameworks, complex examples

ProjectsB: External libraries and user contributions

ProjectsC: Languages

[Nicola]

Thanks Charles 


I was looking at the o2 help and I have not found information about some things.
Under classes are missing link to
...
objects,
oop,
pure.

[Charles Pegge]

Hi Nicola,

These are not specific to O2 but in brief:

objects: variables  which have a class type

oop: Object Oriented Programming: variables have both members  and functions.

pure: C++ term for functions in a virtual interface

[Nicola]

thanks.

Also for these other items there are no references in help.

string2
gstr_
global

[JRS]

I highly recommend expanding on Jose Roca's O2 documentation effort.

I will have the files in the sandbox when Charles releases source for self compile. I would be happy to update them with member contributions to the documentation effort.

[Charles Pegge]

Thanks Nicola,

I'll edit these in the manual database: inf/o2keyw.dat. this is used to construct oxygen_help.chm

string2: replaced by wstring
gstr_: internal use
global: shared variables, now deprecated

[Nicola]

Thanks Charles.

Hi Charles,
I have other requests.
ALIAS is too sparse as documentation.
LINK, AT, PURE, OOP, OBJECTS, are not documented.
(please write a full explanation 
Thanks

[Charles Pegge]

Hi Nicola,

Alias and Link are secondary keywords which only make sense in the context of declaring external library functions. Similarly At, Pure and Objects. So I need to gather all the secondary words and deal with them under each principal topic in the manual. It will take some time.

[Nicola]

Ok Charles,
if you want and can, you could start with ALIAS. Maybe you could add a small example with the line-by-line comments of the commands / functions you use.

I am working on cherrytree.
I attach the file that I am filling taking the data from your help ... and if you give me other information I will go to add them ...

Hello

ALIAS is not a required keyword in O2, but it is understood:

some useful links:

http://manmrk.net/tutorials/basic/PowerBASIC/pbcc/declare_statement.htm

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/language-reference/statements/alias-clause

BTW
ProjectsA\ManualGenerator\ManualCreate.o2bas generates HTML pages for the o2 manual.

I am working on cherrytree.

Do you have a UI for this SQLite DB?

[Nicola]

Yes,

What do you think?

Hi,
Charles, I wanted to ask you, is there any difference between zstring, char, bstr, bstring, cstr_, string and asciiz?
Also, is there any difference between wbstring, wchar, wstring and wzstring?
Thank you
