thanks. :clapping:

What would I do without you?

...give up on coding probably

[ErosOlmi]

oops,

forgot to say in this version you can do things like that:



DIM MyString Like "String"
DIM MyLong Like "LONG"
DIM MyExt Like "E" & "X" & "T"


Also inside TYPEs

TYPE MyType
MyString Like "String"
MyLong Like "LONG"
MyExt Like "E" & "X" & "T"
END TYPE

The rule is:

DIM VarName Like [StringExpression]
where [StringExpression] is any string expression returning a base type supported by thinBasic.
For the moment nothing other than base numeric and string types.

Wow! I love you!:excited:

Edit: Just saw after posting the limitations... and detected that instant assignement not works (yet) in all ways



String a = "Long"
Dim b Like a = 123 ' not working, b is 0 now

Dim c Like a Value 123 ' works!, c is 123

[ErosOlmi]

Dim b Like a = 123

will not work because (A = 123) is a valid string expression and it has precedence over variable declaration.
So = for initial assignment will not be supported by Like construct.

Help-File: The description to Dialogs WS_ExStyle-Equates is messed up somehow8621(check image)

Style %WS_EX_LTRREADING is listed twice with different effects-description, (marked) - probably should the first of these be %WS_EX_RTLREADING - then it would make sense...
