Q7Basic Vs KBasic - which better? Differences?

[tseyfarth]

Hello all!

I am curious, what are the differences between KBasic and Q7Basic? Which is better - in terms of ease of programming, speed of execution? Is one, the other or both compiled or interpreted?

Please advise

Thank you
Tim

Hello

Q7Basic comes with a very thin runtime and a garbage collector for Qt. All Q7Basic applications are compiled to C++ code by gcc or vc++ and are much more faster. Debugging is supported as well (I am implementing it right now and almost finished). Qt designer is supported (and all of its controls) and direct access to C++ files or Qt is supported. After V1, there will be the form designer of KBasic and other relevant parts integrated. The syntax of the programming language of Q7Basic is very easy and almost like the KBasic's one (time by time it will include more KBasic/VB6 odds). I plan to include a interpreted version of Q7Basic for next year to get instance execution after hitting the compile button.

All Kbasic licenses are valid for Q7Basic as well. So if you start to work with KBasic and want to switch, you do not have to order a license for Q7Basic.

Hi Slowdown,

Some days ago I made a download of Q7Basic and the QtCreator as required
but - may be I am too stupid - was not able to work with it.
Could not even start an example....

Welcome aboard

I have a project with two forms. lots of controls. I add the .ui files to my project, add 8 Outlets for 8 QPushButtons and one Signal function for one of the buttons.
First error on Public Const ssss As Byte = 1....

Next on pb100 (PushButton) .BackColor...

Have spent now two nights to try get Q7Basic running on Windows XP
but till now it's a no go.
Have removed the preview which was running ok, installed the Qt sdk, removed all
and started over again but no example will run, no error's from Q7B.
Have to say under OSX no problems, besides my own

Sorry
Other users reported the same problem. With the next version, Q7Basic will install and configure all requires paths alone - running out of the box.

Q7Basic made far progress - the last available release is four weeks old.
When it hits V1, you will feel home and when it will have the kbasic form designer integrated you will be in paradise

Check the documenation about the syntax and properties.

Sorry. The path to Qt directory within the Qt Creator directory is not correctly set. That's the only reason.

Hi,

1:st is solved, one can't declare a Const with a type.

2:nd looks a little odd when rereading, should have written:

pb100.BackColor pb100 is a QPushButton.

KBasic at least had a BackColor property, it didn't work as expected. But I could set and read it, and then use StyleSheet to change it.

I guess there is no BackColor, and the Qt docs are not easy to search....
