Bug in Device IDE (basic4ppc v6.90) ?

[tsppcapp]

I have a module, the size is over 30KB, with 1400 lines of code. Only this big module has this issue............
The basic4ppc version is 6.90.

When I edit source code in the Device IDE, the new space will replace character at the cursor INSTEAD OF add new space.


For example, the following code:

Dim tStr As String <=== 1 space between "Dim" and "tStr"



If the cursor is just BEFORE the t of "tStr" and adding a space, it should be:

Dim tStr As String <=== should be 2 space between "Dim" and "tStr"



But, the Device IDE causes my code as below:

Dim Str As String <=== erased the t



Adding space to this module is OverWrite mode now, NOT Insert mode. Very Very inconvenience.

If this bug is NOT caused by big module, what will cause this bug?

I have just discovered another bigger module with the same problem.


Module Size: 113KB
Line of Code: 3040
# of Sub: 3


The prior mentioned module info:
Module Size: 30.5KB
Line of Code: 1423
# of Sub: 46


My application has 7 Modules at this moment. The other 5 modules have no problem.

Does it happen on any line or only at that specific point?

The text input is handled by the native TextBox, not by Basic4ppc.

[tsppcapp]

It happens at all points for big module.

Um.... the GUI designer have to play some tricks to eliminate this issue.

Module over 5000 lines is so common. If basic4ppc will still have new release, I wish it support up to 10000 lines of source code editing in the device/windows IDE.

I hope the Windows IDE without this issue, but I don't know yet.

Windows Mobile TextBox control is limited to about 64k characters. It is not possible to workaround this limit.

The desktop IDE doesn't suffer from this limitation.

Ok, thanks for info.


I may have to break the big modules to many sub-modules...

Is there any limit for the number of modules??

[Erel]

There is no limit.

I have just tried to add 50 empty modules, no big issue is found yet.
