WinFBE

WinFBE is an open-source all-in-one package for FreeBasic that relies on the Scintilla editing library. To put it simply, the suite includes an editor where you can review the code as well as 32 bit and x64 bit compilers.

The program comes with a clean GUI with a dark theme that is user-friendly, clean and that is designed as a dashboard for easy and convenient access. The program is Unicode enabled and supports high DPI, thus it will look great on any resolution.

While the larger right panel is dedicated to writing and editing code, you can browse through the files and their contents with the Explorer tab in the left side. Whether you are getting started or are an advanced user who needs to refresh the memory, you can access the Functions list from the left panel. You can also access the bookmarks from the same panel, in case you have any in your project.

If you are involved with GUI application development, then you should know that the tool features a built-in visual designer. The visual designer is still a work in progress, so not all features work properly or are available. Nevertheless, it gets the job done and you can manage event handlers, resource files, colors, points, fonts and sizes.

As previously mentioned, the suit also packs compilers where you can seamlessly integrate source files, regardless of how you got them. In fact, the application supports incremental compiling of code defined as a module. Speaking of integration, the tool supports console and GUI based code and you can easy include Windows Resource files by specifying which source code file is the resource.

Irrespective of the dialect of FreeBasic you are working with, WinFBE’s clean interface, auto completions and codetip pops may come in handy.
