REALbasic 2006 Release 1
[Fix] [Win] ActiveX: Setting the Left/Top/Width/Height of an ActiveX
control, that already contains such properties itself (like
the WebBrowser ActiveX control), now work
properly.(Feedback ID: ujuclotx)
[New] [Mac] Apple Events: Intrinsic apple events, such as 'odoc',
'quit', 'pref', etc are now all passed to the
Application.HandleAppleEvent event first. If you return
true, the default behavior will no longer take place (for
example, if you return true from HandleAppleEvent for the
'odoc' event, the OpenDocument event will not fire).
[Fix] [IDE] AppleScripts: Now import properly (as scripts rather than
raw data) even if they don't end in a ".scpt"
extension.(Feedback ID: mqxxlkgx)
[Fix] [All] Application Launch: No longer throw assertions when a class
which implements an interface which defines no methods is
instansiated.
[All] [All] Arrays: Failed assertions in dump.cpp no longer occur after
releasing a reference to an array which has been cast to an
array of a superclass of the original element type.
[Fix] [All] Arrays: SortWith now works properly with arrays that are
"upcasted" from one element type to another.(Feedback ID:
dlaywauh)
[New] [All] Array.Sort: No longer generates a StackOverflowException on
very large, almost-sorted arrays. Note that such
worst-case data can still cause Array.Sort to take a very
long time to finish, however.(Feedback IDs: dyknvqvu,
wmubxzhk)
[IDE] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocompletes extension methods(Feedback
IDs: eeouxnjv, tbphhnwu)
[Fix] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocompletes more reliably, especially
in the context of a Window.(Feedback ID: kserjzdg)
[Fix] [IDE] Autocomplete: Now autocompletes mouse cursors.
[Fix] [Win] BevelButton: Now draw their icons as disabled when
appropriate.(Feedback ID: kbgbvtpm)
[Fix] [All] BevelButton: The List getter and setter now throws
OutOfBoundsExceptions when the row parameter is out of
bounds.(Feedback ID: snjtdydj)
[Fix] [Win] BevelButton, PopupArrow: Now draw the popup arrow disabled
properly on Windows. This affects BevelButtons with a menu
as well as the PopupArrow control.(Feedback ID: uextbuqv)
[Dep] [All] BinaryStream: Deprecated the ReadLong, ReadShort, ReadByte,
WriteLong, WriteShort and WriteByte methods in favor of the
new data-type specific methods.(Feedback ID: kwsmgwqw)
[New] [All] BinaryStream: Now supports all the new data types in the
form of ReadXXX and WriteXXX (where XXX is the new data
type). ie) ReadInt8 and WriteUInt64, etc.
[New] [All] BinaryStream, TextInputStream, T: Has a new getter
property: Handle( type as Integer ) as Integer where the
type can be any of the new HandleType* constants on the
class. This property will return a handle of the property
type, or -1 if the handle type cannot be
retrieved.(Feedback ID: ydtprjxj)
[New] [All] BinaryStream, TextInputStream, T: Now has a Constructor:
Constructor( handle as Integer, type as Integer ), where
type is one of the HandleType* constants on the class, and
handle is the appropriate handle type specified by the type
parameter. So, for instance, you can use a declare to open
a file up with whatever permissions you\'d like, and then
pass the Handle to a stream object\'s constructor.(Feedback
ID: eyllgykv)
[New] [All] BinaryStream, TextInputStream, T: Now has a set of
constants for use with the Constructor and Handle property.
The constants are as follows:
HandleTypeWin32Handle = 1 // A Win32 OS HANDLE
HandleTypeFilePointer = 2 // A FILE *
HandleTypeFileNumber = 3
// A file descriptor
HandleTypeMacFileRefNum = 4 // A file reference number
HandleTypeMacFileSpecPointer = 5 // An FSSpec *(Feedback

[New] [IDE] Bookmarks Bar: You can now add a method or property to the
bookmarks bar via drag-and-drop (drag the item name from
the code browser up to the bookmarks bar).
[Fix] [IDE] Bookmarks: Opening a project via the Bookmarks menu no
longer opens an additional, unwanted window.(Feedback ID:
wpujphyb)
[Chg] [All] BooleanColumn (in RecordSets and DatabaseRecords) now write
a '1' for true and a '0' for false into table fields.
Before they wrote the strings 'true' and 'false'.(Feedback
IDs: aoimrcjt, tdsgmysk)
[Fix] [IDE] Building: Compiling for Linux on the Mac, no longer messes
up the version information (incorrect byte order).
[Chg] [Car] Built Application: The CFBundleDevelopmentRegion is now
included in the property list. This value is based on the
Language popup in the build settings dialog. If Default is
used, the current language of the machine is used in this
entry. If another language is chosen, that language is
used.(Feedback IDs: siccbwgy, gwjzgbni)
[New] [All] Classes: Can now have Shared Methods and Shared Properties.
Shared Methods and Properties live in the class namespace
in the same way that Constants do. "Self" is not available
in shared methods or shared computed properties, and you
can not access instance methods or properties from within a
shared method, unless doing so via an instance (such as
foo.SomeProperty).(Feedback ID: gwxczsbs)
[Fix] [Lin] Clipboard: Getting/setting pictures on the clipboard now
works across processes (requires GTK+ 2.6 or
better).(Feedback ID: llcpxlwl)
[Fix] [Win] Clipboard: Pictures from the clipboard now have a valid
Graphics object, mask, etc.(Feedback ID: kpoelibs)
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Changing the declaration of an Event
Definition now updates any implementations of that event in
subclasses.(Feedback ID: kzmcikqw)
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Clear all breakpoints works properly
again.(Feedback ID: aqrcdsbi)

can also be deleted via menus rather than the Delete key.
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Horizontal scrollbar no longer stops short
when a method contains a long line, among enough other
lines to cause the vertical scrollbar to appear.

input certain characters now works in the code
editor.(Feedback IDs: zdpefjsx, crbtxfgd)
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: No longer flickers while typing(Feedback IDs:
nfhyhsbs, ntsqgklh)
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: Now correctly matches multiple "catch"
sections within a "try" block.(Feedback IDs: chkkgiti,
ekoqliqh)
[New] [IDE] Code Editor: Parameters field now autocompletes "As" and
known datatypes.
[IDE] [IDE] Code Editor: The \"Project > Add\" menu no longer enables
all menu items which are not also present on the code
editor's command bar, thereby allowing you to add things in
inappropriate places (structures in classes, properties in
interfaces, and so on).(Feedback ID: ltrhaitb)
[Fix] [IDE] Code Editor: variables declared as part of a "for each"
statement now autocomplete properly.(Feedback IDs:
tnqxxfep, xevunuks)
[New] [IDE] Code Editor: You can now insert colors via a color picker
using the Insert Color contextual menu.(Feedback ID:
mdzfsueb)
[New] [IDE] Code Editor: "super-return" block closers (obtained by
pressing shift-Return or Enter) now match the case style
(uppercase, title case, or lowercase) of the block opener.
[Fix] [Win] ComboBox: Autocompleting ComboBoxes now get their GotFocus
event fired properly.
[Fix] [Win] ComboBox: Now gets the Text properly when you are querying
from the KeyDown event of an autocompleting
ComboBox.(Feedback ID: tblimgbi)
[Fix] [All] Compiler: A syntax error no longer occurs when you attempt
to look up the AddressOf a module method using its
qualified name.(Feedback ID: thezshtq)
[New] [Win] Compiler: Added three new fields to the version information
stored on Windows. InternalName (which is used if your
application has an internal vs external name -- and when
left blank, will simply be the same of the application
minus the .exe), CompanyName and ProductName (which means
you can have an executable name like winword.exe and a
product name of Microsoft Word).(Feedback ID: suabelyx)
[All] [All] Compiler: Compiler once again generates correct PowerPC
code for single-to-double and double-to-single
floating-point conversions.(Feedback ID: yutzqqzv)
[All] [All] Compiler: Enum constants no longer lose their types when
the same value is used elsewhere in the program.(Feedback
ID: ocrziyao)
[Fix] [X86] Compiler: Fixed a strange problem in the IA32 backend which
would generate incorrect code for comparisons and certain
arithmetic operations.(Feedback ID: upsnafuv)
[All] [All] Compiler: Getting the value of an element of an array in a
structure no longer causes a crash whenever the array
contains any type other than a structure.
[] [] Compiler: Methods containing variables whose type is a structure
larger than 64 bytes no longer crash on entry (broken in
fc1).(Feedback ID: xttneqsp)
[IDE] [IDE] Compiler: Negation operator works for all integer types,
not just Int32.
[New] [All] Compiler: New Int64 and UInt64 datatypes offer support for
64-bit integer arithmetic. (Feedback ID: iatmsfre)
[All] [All] Compiler: No longer fails an assertion in FunctionCalls.cpp
when handling an overloaded extension method.(Feedback ID:
kdckxtwm)
[] [] Compiler: No longer fails assertions in CGIA32.cpp when both
terms of an expression involve Int8 or Int16 values.
[IDE] [IDE] Compiler: No longer fails to report an error when an object
reference is supplied as an argument for a parameter which
expects an array of the object's superclass.(Feedback ID:
srtteili)
[Fix] [All] Compiler: No longer fails to verify that an object whose
Operator_Compare method is about to be called is not nil
when the object came from a ByRef parameter or a simple
property of another object, referenced through the dot
operator.(Feedback ID: ndwcmcct)
[All] [All] Compiler: No longer reports a bogus undefined-operator
error when using arithmetic on 8- or 16-bit integers.
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: No longer reports spurious ambiguous overloading
errors when calling a method overloaded at different levels
of its class hierarchy.(Feedback IDs: jeytxjpn, drlfnyhw)
[All] [All] Compiler: Not-equals operator no longer returns true,
regardless of the values involved, whenever one of the
operands is an Int64 or UInt64.
[Fix] [Win] Compiler: Now properly sets the \"Description\" field in
the version resources on Windows. Previously only set one
Description field (on the main tab) and not the one on the
version tab.(Feedback ID: visdkmwe)
[New] [All] Compiler: Now supports a new pragma that allows you to
determine which calling convention a method will be
compiled with on x86. This allows you to write callback
functions on Windows, which typically require the StdCall
calling convention.
You use it like this:
#pragma X86CallingConvention StdCall | CDecl(Feedback ID:
mahawzux)
[All] [All] Compiler: Numeric literals outside the range of a 32-bit
integer used to be represented as 64-bit floats; they now
become 64-bit integers instead.
[X86] [X86] Compiler: Once again generates working code for
single-to-double and double-to-single floating-point
conversions.
[Fix] [All] Compiler: Protected properties are no longer accessible in
classes that derive from the same parent class unless the
parent class declares it.(Feedback ID: wlzmgbza)
[Fix] [All] Compiler: REALbasic no longer crashes when compiling a
program containing a method with an optional ByRef
parameter; instead it properly reports an error.(Feedback
ID: ghmedwye)
[Fix] [All] Compiler: Return type covariance now works if the
superclass' return type is "Object", and the subclass' type
is any type of object, including an interface.
[IDE] [IDE] Compiler: Sort and SortWith do not make the erroneous claim
that arrays of Int8, UInt8, Int16, UInt16, UInt32, Int64,
and UInt64 cannot be sorted.
[] [] Compiler: Structure.StringValue no longer fails to swap
endianness for certain fields when big-endian values are
requested from a little-endian system.(Feedback ID:
oujlckib)
[Opt] [All] Compiler: Subsequent runs of an application take slightly
less time to run. This change makes compiling with many
plugins closer to the speed that it would take without any
plugins.
[IDE] [IDE] Compiler: The compiler no longer complains when a
ParamArray is specified as an array type, instead of as an
element type.
[Fix] [IDE] Compiler: The compiler no longer fails an assertion in
datatypes.cpp when a parameter is erroneously specified as
both ParamArray and ByRef.(Feedback ID: divmcinf)
[IDE] [IDE] Compiler: The overloading algorithm no longer reports
spurious ambiguous-overloading errors in some situations
where more than two methods would satisfy a given call.
[Fix] [All] Compiler: When a class inherits from two other classes, and
both parent classes have the same interface in the
Interfaces list, there is no longer a failed
assertion.(Feedback ID: niwpomaf)
[IDE] [IDE] Compiler: You can overload the array methods with Extends
methods.(Feedback ID: jcacuirr)
[New] [All] Compiler: #if statements can now be one-line statements.
The "Then" statement is required. E.g.
#if TargetCarbon then MsgBox "I'm on Carbon!"(Feedback ID:
vkfahabz)
[Fix] [All] Computed Properties: Now allows an exception and finally
block. It always allowed try/catch blocks, but an exception
block for the body of the accessor previously caused a
compiler error.(Feedback IDs: kwgucytz, gjwdlshi)
[Fix] [All] ConsoleApplication: Now has SleepCurrentThread, just like
the Application class has.
[Fix] [IDE] Constants: No longer generate an internal error when you
enter an invalid constant value (e.g., "&40" for a numeric
constant).(Feedback ID: dyrgkygo)
[Fix] [Lnx] Controls: REALSetControlFocus now works properly for custom
widgets.(Feedback ID: olkmrulw)
[Fix] [Lin] Controls: Setting the control focus in Window.Open now
works properly(Feedback ID: umomedtw)
[Fix] [IDE] Database editor: Database column attributes are no longer
lost when sorting the columns(Feedback ID: zuerlkdf)
[Fix] [Win] Date: Doing date math on Windows now gives proper results
when setting negative values for any of the fields (except
years, which must always be absolute).(Feedback ID:
bbebqsxi)
[IDE] [IDE] Debugger: Looking at the contents of a structure in the
debugger, when the structure has a string field, no longer
causes the debug app to crash.
[Fix] [Win] Debugger: No longer allows the destructors for static
objects to be called when Killing the application. This
would manifest itself by throwing failed assertions when
you have running threads.
[IDE] [IDE] Debugger: Structure contents now show up in the debugger's
variables pane.(Feedback ID: afqrstxp)
[IDE] [IDE] Debugger: The last few digits of a value at the extreme end
of an Int64's or UInt64's range are no longer garbled when
using decimal format.
[Fix] [IDE] Debugger: The picture viewer's contents pane now displays
images properly on Windows and Linux. Was also slightly
optimized.
[X86] [X86] Debugger: Viewing a 64-bit integer no longer causes the
debugger to crash (broken in b2).(Feedback ID: fkxxrbzr)
[New] [All] DecodeQuotedPrintable: Now decodes input where hex values
are represented in lowercase. (Despite the requirement in
RFC 1521 that the hex codes always be uppercase, it is
common to find them in lowercase in such things as email
messages, and DecodeQuotedPrintable can now decode these
anyway.)
[All] [All] Drag & Drop: Added new drag events for all RectControls and
Window
DragEnter( obj As DragItem ) As Boolean
- This event is triggered when the drag enters the
control or window. Returning true in this function will
prevent drop from occurring.
DragExit( obj As DragItem )
- This event is triggered when the drag leaves the
control or window.
DragOver( x As Integer, y As Integer, obj As DragItem ) As
Boolean
- This event is triggered when the drag is over the
control or window. x,y are mouse coordinates relative to
the control.
Returning true prevents drop from occurring.
[Fix] [Win] Drag & Drop: Dragging a picture from an RB app to another
app now works, and vice versa.
[Fix] [Win] Drag & Drop: Dragging a picture from your RB app to another
app now works, and vice versa.(Feedback IDs: qyqpkpjy,
xhmdsapg)
[New] [Mac] Drag & Drop: Now supports promised files. To enable this
advanced feature, call AcceptRawDataDrop with "phfs" as the
data type. Then, when a drag from an application that
sends file promises is dropped on your app, you will find a
FolderItem in the drag item (usually, this will point to
something in the TemporaryItems folder, and you should
delete this file when you're done with it).
[Chg] [Win] EditField: Are now drawn theme-savvy under the following
cirumstances:
The border property is set to true. Multiline is set to
false. Multiline is set to true, but the Scrollbar*
properties are set to false.
[Fix] [Mac] EditField: No longer generates an assertion failure if you
assign a text whose encoding is not one supported by the
OS, and whose length is an odd number of bytes.
[Fix] [Win] EditField: Now honors LimitText when assigning text
directly (instead of via user input).(Feedback ID: ipeqsidx)
[Fix] [Mac] EditField.AppendText: Now properly remains scrolled to the
bottom even when the font is set to SmallSystem.
[Fix] [Mac] EditField.CharPosAtXY: Now returns a correct result when
given a pixel position beyond the right end of the line, on
the last line of text.
[Fix] [Mac] EditField.CharPosAtXY: Now returns correct results for
pixel positions just below the baseline in a small font
such as SmallSystem.
[Fix] [All] EmailMessage: Fixed a problem where some emails that had a
mime boundary in the header could have cause a stack
overflow exception when just the headers where
retrieved.(Feedback IDs: zcmslvmq, tlrnnuam)
[Fix] [IDE] File Types Editor: Now has resizeable columns in its
ListBox.(Feedback IDs: uyijjidk, vbxwutkl, ymaqufzr)
[Chg] [IDE] Find dialog: Now always gives the focus to the \"Find\"
field when it appears, even if it was last left with the
focus in the \"Replace With\" field.(Feedback ID: urfrrriv)
[New] [IDE] Find & Replace: Now supports RegEx replacement. In your
Replace With string, use \1 to indicate the first
subexpression (in parentheses in your search string), \2
for the second, etc. Also use \0 to indicate the whole
matched text, and \ for a plain backslash.(Feedback ID:
kokocent)
[Fix] [Win] Fixed a bug in which databases with non-ASCII characters in
their path would fail to open.(Feedback IDs: bfkimlra,
quyxyvtw)
[Fix] [OSX] Fixed a bug with creating databases at the root of external
drives (such as firewire drives).(Feedback ID: apgwpfdm)
[Fix] [OSX] Fixed a leak of a FolderItem that occurred every time a
database was opened.(Feedback ID: dzsnxsuk)
[Fix] [Lnx] Floating Windows: Now float above other document windows
[OSX] [OSX] FolderItem: The Visible property now returns values based
on Launch Services when available. This means Visible will
return false for files that begin with a \\".\\", and other
files the system thinks should not be visible.
[Chg] [Mac] FolderItem.AbsolutePath: Now returns a full Unicode path,
roughly equivalent to what you would get by walking the
\\"Parent\\" list and concatenating the Name properties
together.
[Fix] [Win] GameInputDevice: Now supports hat switches and other POV
elements.(Feedback ID: blkvdlbx)
[New] [All] Graphics: Added a new method to get the OS handle from a
Graphics object: Handle( type as Integer ) as Integer
The type parameter is defined by one of the new
Graphics.HandleType constants. This method will return 0
if the handle type is not supported or available.(Feedback
IDs: asoojmdw, mwdsfmtk)
[New] [All] Graphics: Added four new constants to be used when getting
the handle from a Graphics object. HandleTypeHDC = 1, gets
the HDC on Windows. HandleTypeCGrafPtr = 2, gets the
QuickDraw CGrafPtr on Mac. HandleTypeGdkDrawablePtr = 3,
gets the GdkDrawable * on Linux. HandleTypeGdkGCPtr = 4,
gets the GdkGC * on Linux.(Feedback IDs: zkzduyzc, yrroacmm)
[Fix] [Lin] Graphics: Now supports drawing lines with different pen
sizes(Feedback ID: bexqdcsj)
[Chg] [OSX] Graphics.DrawPicture: Now interpolates much better when
drawing with Quartz (i.e., when graphics.UseOldRenderer =
False).(Feedback IDs: zvimwdpv, otqbhdwb)
[All] [All] Hex: Calls to Hex, Bin, and Oct are no longer considered
ambiguous when the parameter is a Single or
Double.(Feedback ID: uzhywggr)
[Fix] [IDE] Icon Editor: You can now add icons via a contextual menu
click on the appropriate icon pane.(Feedback ID: brhilaes)
[New] [IDE] IDE Scripting: Now supports several new methods; see the
IDE Scripting Read Me for details.
[Kis] [IDE] IDE Scripting: The new \"RunScript\" command (within IDE
scripts) may crash the IDE. We hope to get that fixed soon.
[New] [IDE] IDE Scripting: The REALbasic IDE is now scriptable and
recordable on all platforms, using RBScript. See the \"IDE
Scripting Read Me\" document for details.(Feedback ID:
fcekdtxn)
[New] [IDE] IDE Scripting: There is now an \"IDE Scripts\" submenu
under the File menu. This contains the \"New IDE Script\"
command, but also lists any script files (ending in
\".rbs\") found in a \"Scripts\" folder next to the IDE, or
next to the current project. Selecting one of these items
executes the script; or if you hold down a modifier key,
then it opens it in the script editor.
[IDE] [IDE] IDE Scripts: Now has a menu bar so that you can save, close
and do editing operations.(Feedback ID: nulgxwfj)
[IDE] [IDE] IDE Scripts: Now save with the proper extension by default
on Windows (instead of with .xml). Also, now filters .rbs
files as appropriate.(Feedback ID: aqiomnbz)
[] [] If either operand of an integer arithmetic expression is a 64-bit
value, the result will be a 64-bit value. If both operands
are 32 bits or smaller, the result will be a 32-bit value.
If either operand of an arithmetic expression is signed,
the result will be signed; the result will only be unsigned
if both operands are unsigned.
[Fix] [IDE] Items on the command bar overflow menu (which comes up when
you click the chevron at the right side of a command bar)
are no longer permanently enabled, whether they apply to
the current project item or not.(Feedback ID: hjttmyfx)
[All] [All] Language: Added \"RaiseEvent\" which can be used to call an
event. This is particularly useful if you have a method and
an event with the same name. Example:
RaiseEvent SomeEvent
return RaiseEvent SomeEvent2(parameters)
[All] [All] Language: CLong joins CDbl and Val as a way to convert text
to a number; it accepts a string in decimal, hex, octal, or
binary format (using &h, &o, or &b as appropriate) and
returns its value as an Int64.
[All] [All] Language: Enum values must be cast explicitly to integer
types; there is no longer an implicit conversion.
[New] [All] Language: Integer variables are now available in a range of
sizes, using both signed and unsigned forms. New type names
are Int8, Int16, Int32, UInt8, UInt16, and UInt32, plus
Byte (as an alias for UInt8). Integer is now defined as an
alias for a signed integer of the target architecture\'s
word size, which on all current targets equals Int32.
[IDE] [IDE] Language: It is now possible to typecast from an enum type
to a simple integer type, or from one integer type to
another, as long as both types are the same size.
[Chg] [All] Language: Negative step values now cause a For loop to
iterate backwards, instead of aborting instantly. This is
more consistent with the way other dialects of Basic work.
(The DownTo option is still supported, since it can improve
readability, but now it simply reverses the sign of the
step value.)(Feedback ID: uxilkzbk)
[New] [All] Language: REALbasic offers enumerated constant types. You
can add an enumeration to a module using Project > Add or
by customizing the module toolbar to include the \"Add
Enumeration\" command. The enumeration's name is a new
datatype, and its contents are new constants within the
enumeration's namespace. Constant values start at zero, and
each constant is one greater than the previous item, unless
you specify a value manually by entering \"name = value\"
instead of simply \"name\". (Feedback ID: ojgskvye)
[New] [All] Language: You can now create structure datatypes in
REALbasic; open a module and go to Project > Add >
Structure. See \"Read Me - Structures\" for more complete
information.(Feedback ID: rnqwssir)
[Fix] [Mac] Listbox: Cells that are checkboxes no longer draw past the
end of the listbox on the Mac.(Feedback ID: dllgiqwk)

on Windows and Linux. Now takes distance and time between
clicks into account properly.(Feedback ID: vbkafzcg)
[Win] [Win] Listbox: Now draws horizontal thin dotted lines
properly(Feedback ID: qwujmfrq)
[Fix] [Lin] Listbox: Now draws the hierarchical widget in its correct
color, instead of the color last set in the
CellBackgroundPaint event(Feedback ID: wmmwgjta)
[Fix] [Lnx] ListBox: Selected rows no longer disappear when listbox is
disabled.(Feedback ID: bdqmpqba)
[New] [IDE] Location field: Now accepts \\"App\\" as a reference to
your blessed Application subclass, even if that is not
literally named \\"App.\\"
[New] [All] MemoryBlock: Now supports the new integer data types.
[Fix] [Win] MouseCursor Editor: No longer displays the hotspot in the
wrong location.(Feedback ID: alaaqqyo)
[Fix] [Win] MouseCursor: Cursors dragged into the project now have
their hotspot set correcly on Windows, instead of having
the x and y axis flipped.(Feedback ID: pzeoyyqx)
[] [] Print and Input events no longer fire in the wrong script object
when more than one script is running at a time.(Feedback
ID: htzidcua)
[Imp] [Win] PrinterSetup: No longer crashes on Windows in most cases.
The sample still shows a crash after a much more extended
period, but the fix is unlikely to be safe for 2006r1. A
workaround on the bug has been added to prevent this
problem from affecting your applications.(Feedback IDs:
lwlierco, hagzejij)
[New] [IDE] Printing: Source code printouts now use emphasis for
headers, and prefix method names with the class or window
name.(Feedback ID: ulsrusey)
[Fix] [Lnx] Printing: Starting a new page now clears the page properly
[Fix] [IDE] Project Item Editor: No longer prematurely bails out when
dragging in a Win32 cursor file where the first entry in
the file isn\'t a 16x16 cursor.(Feedback ID: pshhjent)
[Fix] [IDE] Project Item Editor: Now updates the state of the encrypted
badge when decrypting an item.(Feedback ID: bsefhkwv)
[Fix] [IDE] Project Item Editor, Menu Editor: Now supports the
Alt+Enter keyboard shortcut on Windows and Linux to set
focus to the properties for the currently selected

[Fix] [IDE] ProjectItem Editor: No longer allows folders to have a
blank name.(Feedback IDs: blykkujm, vmjrelrx)
[New] [IDE] Project: You can now drop WMV/ASF movie files into your
project and play them using the MoviePlayer (Windows
only).(Feedback ID: lywpnpsq)
[Chg] [IDE] Properties List: The \"Source\" property of an RBScript
instance now has an ellipsis button, allowing you to enter
more than one line of source within the window
editor.(Feedback ID: kylwympl)
[Fix] [Win] PushButton: Now honors the default property when the button
is opened on a modal dialog and the button is not the first
control in the control order.(Feedback ID: dwgtvfhx)
[Fix] [Win] PushButton: Now properly gets set as the default when the
enabled or disabled state changes.(Feedback IDs: ilftrpwe,
ludloxtr)
[Fix] [Lin] PushButton: Typing Enter/Return in an single-line
Editfield, or typing Enter in a multi-line Editfield, now
triggers the default PushButton (consistent with other
platforms).(Feedback ID: vdxfnjgs)
[Fix] [Win] PushButton, CheckBox, RadioButto: Now get the focus
properly when using a keyboard mnemonic to trigger their
action event.
[New] [IDE] rbidescript: This new open-source command-line tool allows
you to automate the IDE from the command line shell (or, by
using the communications module in your own code, from your
own REALbasic app). See the ReadMe file included with the
