Visual Basic and a new IDE

i cant get my Visual Basic IDE to work.. any idea's?

ShellExecute Me.hwnd, "open", "D:\Blitz3D\bin\blitzcc.exe", "-h h:\test.bb", "D:\Blitz3D\bin\", 4

the compiler just shows up then dissapears straight away!


CRACKED IT!

for people out there do this!

Public Declare Function SetEnvironmentVariable Lib "kernel32" Alias "SetEnvironmentVariableA" (ByVal lpName As String, ByVal lpValue As String) As Long

then just before you compile or after executing the "IDE" just set the blitzpath!

Phew, any ideas how i pick me nose?

got a new problem, i cant get the blitzcc.exe to output the errors in the blitz file using VB

has any one here done any IDE's in VB?? i need help to get my to do the basics

Look up something to do with Processes. If you were using VB.Net and not normal VB you could use System.Diagnostics.Process to achieve exactly this (this is what I use in my preprocessor) but VB.Net is no where near like normal VB.

need some serious help with this Schintilla.dll! i think i could write my own! at this rate! AHHH!

just look @ the dll API & Docs

well, some serious learning here, tho the docs dont help so much...
i'll get it later down the ages! haha

no, these docs arnt' helping, i cant seem to get it to do anything ;O(

has anyone got a basic VB editor with keywords? using scintilla?
