IDE for FreeBasic

Visual FreeBasic Editor can generate 32-bit and 64-bit green free installation programs used under Windows, Linux, Dos, and Android, and the language style is similar to the Basic language of VB.NET. If you feel that you need a new function, you can modify it on the basis of the Visual FreeBasic Editor source code and use it yourself. If you want to recommend it to everyone, you can send the modified source code to the author and integrate it into the official version.

Visual FreeBasic Editor uses MyFbFramework framework. MyFbFramework framework is a common and basic control library written in the freeBASIC programming language of the Basic language family of C-like language. There are currently 83 common classes and controls. The syntax is similar in nature to the programming language vb.net, and these classes can be used to quickly and easily create type-safe software products. MyFbFramework framework address: MyFbFramework.

Operating requirements:

You need to download the FreeBASIC compiler separately, the official address of the FreeBASIC compiler: http://www.freebasic.net. Other download addresses of the FreeBASIC compiler 1: http://users.freebasic-portal.de/stw/builds/.

Program compilation method:

You can use the methods provided below to compile the program from the command line, or you can open the source program in the VisualFBEditor to compile. Before compiling the project, configure the path of the compiler in “Settings”, and also set the path of the MyFbFramework framework.

Remember: If there is no mff64.dll and libmff64.dll.a (running 64-bit system VisualFBEditor), mff32.dll and libmff32.dll.a (running 32-bit system VisualFBEditor) in the framework directory of MyFbFramework, you will not be able to perform visual form design. You can download the MyFbFramework framework source code and compile it as provided below. freeBasic has many third-party library support, which can be downloaded after installing Msys2.

In the command line program compilation provided below, the path of the compiler and the path of the MyFbFramework framework should also be changed to the actual address in your computer. Relative paths are not supported in the old version. If the file cannot be found, Please configure the path of the corresponding compiler and the path of the MyFbFramework framework as absolute paths in “Settings”.

Known Issues:

There is a conflict between the VisualFBEditor code window and Microsoft’s Pinyin, and the solution is to turn on “Use the previous version of Microsoft’s Pinyin input method” in Microsoft’s Pinyin settings or install other input methods.
