Ok, I found FnxBasic last week [30 Jul 2008] after many hours of googling.
All the others are either $$$, end-of-life, or convoluted [C--, Jiva, etc. like].
Due to having a customer with some old GWBasic that will need to be updated from 1984 [Nutshell Database v1.0] they need a more modern way of getting programs done -- FNX to the rescue.
So, over the weekend [02 Aug 2008] I started converting a program I have that was built for an application that has a editor only and falls in line with GWBasic [much like FNX] - this is the MapBasic scripter for MapInfo GIS mapping software.
Where is it today?
I have the basic tool bar and GUI editor [move, resize, etc controls].
The Properties [Object Inspector] is next.
There is another got-ya. Nothing out there to do what I want [clean up my old code] so I have to manually write up what is available in each FNX object properties - slow going and no fun.
I use Delphi as my language of choice but considered this morning it doing it in FNX would be better [but not faster coding]
The structure of FNX is just as *open* as VisualBasic which creates some problems.
What comes to mind is 2 examples - ProgressBar in StatusBar and Form-in-a-Form neither of which does not work in Delphi without some work.
To keep this short, I`ll start a new topic when I`m ready to begin *alpha* testing.
[due to the nature of my job that pays the bills [911 administration - you guessed by my nick] I have limited time for this]
