$(StringExpression) string interpolation.
The single $ special character identifies a string literal as an interpolated string. An interpolated string is a string literal that might contain interpolation expressions.

String interpolation provides a more readable and convenient syntax to create formatted strings than a string composite formatting feature.

See example in \thinBasic\SampleScripts\General\StringInterpolation.tbasic

thinAir

NEW

 

thinAir is now able to monitor script execution reporting information like process cpu usage, process memory and script duration.

 

 

Process monitoring is performed using a Web Browser embedded Control whose layout can be changed using html/Javascript templates present in \thinBasic\thinAir\ProcessMonitor\Html\

 

Programmer can copy one of the templates and personalize it.

Inside template you can find the list of place holders you can use to set where to show process info.

 

To change Process Panel layout and parameters go into default Theme and change one or more of those parameters:

 

<panels>

  <options>

 

    <item name = "process.monitoring.active">true</item>

    <item name = "process.html.template">

ProcessMonitor\Html\ProcessMonitor_Template_1Chart.htm

    </item>

    <item name = "process.monitoring.sampling.points.max">30</item>

    <item name = "process.monitoring.sampling.delay">900</item>

      <!-- DO NOT GO BELOW 500 -->

 

    <item name = "process.onstart.maximize">true</item>

    <item name = "process.onstop.minimize">false</item>

 

  </options>

</panels>

You may know that SHIFT + ENTER let's triggers auto creation of blocks like Function ... End Function, If ... End If, Type ... End Type.
Now position of the cursor after triggering auto blocks is improved thanks to the placeholder "$Cursor" inside "\ThinAir\Syntax\thinBasic\thinBasic_StartEnd_AutoClose.ini" file

Improved

 

Event functions for Dialogs and/or Controls can now have dotted (.) or underscored (_) notation.

For example if programmer needs to react on OnLoad event for a dialog named frmMain, just create one of the following callback function:

frmMain_OnLoad

frmMain.OnLoad

 

Dotted notation is preferred one.

 

 

 

thinAir

Call Tips Key nodes can now have new child nodes in CallTips XML file:

Events

 

This node will be used to indicate Event names for those keys that have events like Dialogs, Controls, ...

Example in \ThinAir\Syntax\thinBasic\thinBasic_CallTips_Module_UI.xml

Call Tips Key nodes can now have new child nodes in CallTips XML file:

Those 2 new nodes can be used to add autocompletion to module classes defined inside modules like cDateTime. Example in \ThinAir\Syntax\thinBasic\thinBasic_CallTips_Module_CDateTime.xml

 

2020/03/24

thinAir

NEW

 

thinAir editor is now able to partially parse script UDT elements and show autocompletion of declared variable/sub/functions inside the UDT

 

So far this is very experimental:

still many bugs to fix for correct parsing

still to remove unwanted code from element list

still to manage extended UDT

still to manage multiple declaration

still to make it local to the script and not global to all the loaded scripts

still to improve speed for large script

...

 

You know ... just a beginning of a new thinAir usability we hope.

 

 

File

NEW

 

FILE_COPYEX function documented. It now uses CopyFileExW Windows API function.
Still to understand how to stop/resume file copy operation. Behaves seems different from one documented in MS docs

thinAir

NEW

 

During programming, having too many Call Tips on the screen can be disturbing. For this reason, the "showlevel" attribute has been added to the "key" node within the "\ thinBasic \ Lib \ ThinAir \ Syntax \ thinBasic \ thinBasic_CallTips * .xml" files. This new attribute can have a value from 1 to 9 where 1 indicates the maximum importance level while 9 indicates the minimum importance level.

 

In this way, each user can set the level of importance of Call Tip he wants to work by hiding or showing the most appropriate level according to his needs

 

<Key Name = "Dim" showlevel = "3"></Key>

 

 

2020/03/22

thinAir

NEW

 

Code Tips can now be divided into different XML file thanks to "source" attribute of <Module> node.

 
For example the following <Module> node instruct parser that Code Tips for TBGL module must be loaded from the external file named thinBasic_CallTips_Module_TBGL.xml:

 

<Module name = "TBGL" source = "thinBasic_CallTips_Module_TBGL.xml"></Module>

 

 

 

thinAir

NEW

 

Call Tips of script user defined functions a automatically generated at runtime

 

 

 

thinAir

NEW

 

Call Tips Key nodes in \thinBasic\Lib\ThinAir\Syntax\thinBasic\thinBasic_CallTips.xml file can now have linkto attribute in order to link a key to another key. This can be useful to avoid double writing of keys that has the same meaning.

 

Example: "CallBack" key is empty but it is linked to "CallBack Function" key

 

<Key Name = "Callback" linkto = "CallBack Function"></Key>

 

 

 

thinAir

NEW

 

Moving mouse over text inside a script will activate Call Tips window on keywords under the mouse

 

 

thinAir

NEW

 

Call Tips Key nodes can now have new child nodes in XML file:

Description

Syntax

Parameters

ReturnValue

Remarks

Example

 

Example of a Key node in \thinBasic\Lib\ThinAir\Syntax\thinBasic\thinBasic_CallTips.xml file:

<Key name = "WCon_SetFont">

  <Description>Set WCon font.</Description>

  <Syntax>WCon_SetFont FontName, FontWidth, FontHeight</Syntax>

  <Parameters>FontName: String\nFontWidth: Long\nFontHeight: Long</Parameters>

  <ReturnValue>None</ReturnValue>

  <Remarks>IMPORTANT: Execute as first script WCon command</Remarks>

  <Example>WCon_SetFont "Consolas", 10, 18</Example>

</Key>

 

And this is how it will appear:

To change configuration for each indicator, please refer to default theme and search for "indicator". There is an indicator for each block and configuration can be setup separately.

 

Some example:

CodeTips are now replaced with new Calltips XML file \ThinAir\Syntax\thinBasic\thinBasic_CallTips.xml and relative Usr (user) file. Using XML notation will allow more easy change and implementation in future.
