Hello, I would like to build an application that runs on both Windows and Mac OS X. I would also like it to leverage the best of what the platform it runs on has to offer with regards to Frameworks, API's etc. Is there a way to do this without having to write Objective-C code and then C# code? I've been thinking of C++ as an alternative ...
As a Windows and web developer of 12+ years and an "at home" Mac user, I'm wondering if it's worth it to get the REALBasic for personal use. I've often wanted to dabble in development for OS X; I know VB, Java, C#, but not C, C++, or Objective-C. I don't have a specific project in mind and haven't been motivated to learn Objective-C, s...
has anyone ever written an application bigger than its .net luggage? People used to criticize vb6 for its 2 MB runtime but it rarely dwarfed the app it accompanied. Today despite having vista on my machine I had to download 35 MB of the 3.5 framework and reboot to then try out an app half that size. When you factor in the decreased sou...

Realbasic allows you to include e.g an MS Flexgrid control in your Realbasic project and use it as though it were a native control. Does the end user need to have this control installed already and if not and realbasic includes it in the build are there licensing issues? I have vb6 and can distribute this control legally with a vb6 appli...
Say you have a menu item and a button that do the same task. Why is it bad practice to put the code for the task into one control's action event and then make a call to that event from the other control? Delphi allows this as does vb6 but realbasic doesn't and says you should put the code into a method that is then called by both the me...
I'm about to write a small desktop app that should run on Windows and Mac OS X mainly. The choices I have so far are: I usually use Java + Swing for this type of stuff, but this app should be really tiny (about 1Mb) and I don't want to embed the ~26mb JRE on the Windows version or ask users to have it installed. I have good experience...
Hello, Before I go ahead and invest time checking out RealBasic, I'd like some feedback from people who have moved on from VBCLassic and use the Windows version of RealBasic to write professional business applications. Is the language good enough, are there enough third-party add-on's to solve the inevitable shortcomings, etc.? Thank ...
Hi, any tips on creating a global array to use in a realBASIC project using 'add property'? Pictured below is my attempt. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/orubap/basic.jpg Using camModel(1) compiles and runs but it doesn't return anything. Using camModel(4) throws an out of bounds error so I'm guessing I'm half way there. Suggest...
Hello, I got this crash report from my app, and I can't reproduce it as I don't know when it happens and how can happen. Someone can tell me what sees from this report?

I have a Listbox where all cells are editable. While the user is typing text in the ActiveCell (Textfield) she may decide to paste text. I would like to examine the paste-text and perform different paste operations depending on whether it is multiline or not. Is there any way to create an EditPaste MenuHandler specifically for ListBox...
I have a number of small REAL Studio apps that use the Speak keyword on Windows and Mac to output single words or short phrases. Can anyone recommend a way of emulating this on Linux versions of the app, either with a shell command or a Soft declare? These apps are for family use only so I can install free software on Ubuntu if necessa...

I'm trying to develop an application similar to ASTassistant, and in the article the author says that he included "the source code with the binaries." After downloading the ZIP folder, however, I've found no source. The program is written in REAL Basic, which I don't know anything about. Do I need to purchase REAL Basic to view ASTassist...
I have a bunch of Realbasic code that was written on a Mac that I'm supposed to port to Windows. Right now let's just try to get the program running from within REAL Studio. GetFolderItem("") returns the folder the application is in. Child("A") returns another FolderItem how I would expect. But when I call Child("B") on A it returns a Fo...
