Harbour hbide the integrated development environment for harbour at 24/1/2010
What is?

hbide is Ispired by xmate and made simple any operation with harbour is a tool that will allow Edit, Compile, Debug in a visual cycle and is written in pure harbour code using xhbp.lib

What compoment use hbide?
Hbide is based on follow library: hbxbp & hbqt

The hbxbp library allow you work on windows,linux,mac os
hbxbp implement a complete class compatible with xbase++ part
hbxbp seems more "Clipper like" than other libs and it could be Visual Harbour

I suggest you start with C:\harbour\contrib\hbxbp\tests
hbmk2 demoxbp.prg

another intresting application made with xhb is hbide
Is it is good but experimental stage but you can understand the power

hbide is project manager and builder,


How compile?

cd C:\harbour\contrib\hbide
hbmk2 hbide.hbp -rebuild

You need harbour source and qt version 4.5.3 (supported by harbour 2.0)

http://sourceforge.net/projects/harbour-project/files/source/2.0.0/harbour-2.0.0-src.zip/download

http://get.qt.nokia.com/qt/source/qt-win-opensource-4.5.3-mingw.exe
Whith standard Qt in dynamic mode for qt license reason, before start hbide you must include path path "c:\Qt\4.5.3\bin;" to path environment.
F.e. in start.bat :
path=c:\Qt\4.5.2\bin;%path%
hbide.exe

How works hbide?

Hbide work quide good but is under development
good level of editing function (copy past function)
good visual theming for allow different look and feel of application



As you can see in screen shoot hbide allow edit , save and Build (compile) your project
from Error to source
if your source contain error like my example with a double click on red row of error you go to line that caused error and this is a big improvements in productivity
double-click on Output Console error information  line and places the editor position on error row
hbide Have syntax highlight with a complete function list of function included in your source

This are same intresting keyboard shortcut
With  F7 you can <Insert Separator> == "/*" + replicate( "-", 70 ) + "*/".
Ctrl-D Duplicate current line
ctrl-W Close current tab


 re-position editor tabs with drag.
            1 Place mouse pointer over a tab ->
            2 keep pressed left button ->
            3 move mouse pointer left or right ->
            ( tab will move with your action ) ->
            4 release left button when desired position is obtained.

 splitting any source into multiple windows.
     This feature allows you to edit different parts of  same source simultaneously. This feature allows you to split  window horizontally or vertically. You can split many times.
     This feature can be activated as such:
        1. Right-click somewhere in the editing tab
        2. Context menu will be displayed, point to <Split> item
        3. Select from "Split Horiz..." etc.
    Various actions on current editing window honoring splitted windows indivisually, i.e., Find/Replace, Goto, Function activated via Function List, etc., etc
the behavior is as such:
       Horizontal Split - Top row is columns are splitted
       Vertical Split - More row is added at the bottom.
       Delete Splitted Window - Focus is always shifted to
          main edit window. i.e., parent of all.

Hbide allow "Set Mark" and "Goto Mark" toolbar actions
hbide allow auto indentation and keyword capitalization.
hbide allow ZoomIn, ZoomOut feature, currently via toolbar.
hbide display last codec in the statusbar at the startup.
Hbide support Formatting - <Replace Tabs with Spaces> <Remove Trailing Spaces>   This can be achieved via Mainmenu <Edit><Format...> option.
   Find/Replace: Current selelcted text in "Find what:" control in selected state.

hnode is inder preparation

Automaticallly hbide restoring exact geometry of main window plus all the docking windows plus toolbars.
hbIDE creates idesettings.ini
Hbide show number of selection characters in status-bar
hbide Implemented current line highliting. Currently it is ON by default. in future "Setup" dialog for different action .



Project property allow set each element of project
Sources include,Metadata,hbp, and compiler info

Visual Theme can give a look different to the hbide enviroment

The only  things not jet present to be better ide of xbase world   are:

    * column mark blocks,
    * multi-file search and replace,
    * block copy and move operations between opened source files.
    * shortcuts for editing commands�


Wich Future ?
hbIDE's interface is not yet final.
It may change in the coming future.
Many things are evolving. After final layout, when is approved by the group, will be  write proper documentation-
