Hi Paul,
I still hope that there will new version of PowerBASIC (64 bits) and also an Unicode version of FireFly.
In the meantime, I came back to C programming language (not C++) with PellesC freely available in 32 bits and 64 bits:

I searched on the Web a visual designer or GUI designer for C and was not able to find anything really interesting. the only basic solution that could be used for small project in conjonction with PellesC is Auto C:

Clearly Auto C is not as sophisticated as FireFly, and I was dreaming of a FireFly for C (Pelles C is freeware).
Due to the fact that PowerBASIC SDK Programming could be relatively easy translated to C code, do you think that could be an option in the future.

You could use Code::Block and resedit. I use it to create applications in C.
Very powerful and for PB programmers the transition is very easy.

Hi Rudolf,
Thanks for the links to CodeBlocks and ResEdit; I will give them a try.
One of my concern was also to be able to build a library of re-usable functions; with FireFly the integrated "Functions Library" is very handy; I don't know if there is an equivalent with CodeBlocks and ResEdit ?
