Title: FireFly 3 code editor and folding...
Post by: TechSupport on May 27, 2007, 10:08:23 PM
I *finally* have code folding implemented in the new code editor for FireFly 3. The code editor is based on Borje's EDM32 control. Code folding took a lot longer to implement than I had expected. So far the results look good. I will continue to refine the code as time goes by. At least now I can get back to working on the guts of FireFly 3. I hope that FireFly 3 will live up to everyone's expectations. My goal is to extend FireFly to handle many different languages such as PB's DDT, PureBASIC, FreeBASIC, Aurora, EBASIC.... Maybe that is ambitious, but FireFly has proven to be so successful in PowerBASIC that it just makes sense to extend it to more languages. :)

That's a good idea.  Many of those other languages don't have anything nearly as nice as Firefly for a complete IDE (visual and code editor in one).  I would have said BASIC dialects but I see Aurora is in there... :)
