stdError.frm

Hey there,

i know you already have a std.Error.cls in WIP.
Ive made my own, which is currently only a Proof of Concept.
As i am too dumb to send you this via a Request ill add the link to my own repository:
Doc:
https://github.com/Almesi/AL_StdLib/tree/main/Doc/Form

Src:
https://github.com/Almesi/AL_StdLib/tree/main/Src/Form

Ill continue working on it and i will add more features.
Are you interested in it?

Heya, a console would be cool, but also I don't think this makes much sense as a core part of the library. I do think as one of stdVBA-examples this does make a lot of sense though, if it were built on top of stdVBA technology. I would make a few changes too:

1. I would evaluate using stdLambda - as such you could very simply write 1+1 to perform calculations
2. I would suggest setting it up such that functions need to be registered by default, and a wider "open" setting were functions can be used on-demand.
3. Ability to use coloured text would be awesome
4. I'd likely use stdUIElement to control form elements too.

So yes, in general would be interested but not part of the core library imo.

stdError for stdVBA though is meant to be a simple wrapper / linker for 1. building stack traces and 2. printing errors to peripherals (e.g. immediate window, html page, file etc.)

Thank you for your input. I will look into it

   What exactly do you mean here? Intellisense?

@Almesi See BindGlobal. If a global implements stdICallable interface, it will act as a method within lambda engine. I.E. it can be called! Thus allowing the below:

Type TThis
  expressionEngine as stdLambda
End Type

'e.g. Console.Create(Array( _
'  "MyMethod", stdCallback.CreateFromModule("MyModule","MyMethod"), _
'  "Save", stdCallback.CreateFromObjectMethod(ThisWorkbook, "Save") _
'))
Public Sub protInit(ByVal registeredFunctions())
  For i = LBound(registeredFunctions) to UBound(registeredFunctions) step 2
      this.expressionEngine.bindGlobal(registeredFunctions(i), registeredFunctions(i+1))
  next
End Sub

To then allow for running of expressions like:

MyMethod(1,2,"hello world")
Save()

This act of pre-registering is, I think, important as it's a security measure. stdLambda is sandboxed by default.
