Does Stride work with rapidQ?

Yes, it does.

HotBasic is somehow rapidQ's successor and they share the same overall syntax. Stride can therefore be used to create rapidQ projects. The Object tree and the Form designer have been tested to work.

Of course, specific HotBasic features are not supported. This includes custom objects like the simplegrid or image2 objects. The embedded debugger, which is HotBasic-specific, is also not useable with rapidQ.

In the Download area on the left of this page, you can notice a specific rapidQ edition. For now, it is a bit crude. For instance, the list of available objects in the Form designer needs to be fine-tuned. I will work on it if Stride generates interest among rapidQ users.

A rapidQ tip: to customize your program icon, insert a comment of the following type:
'$rapidQ icon "myiconname.ico"
Before compiling, Stride will detect this line and pass the parameter to the rapidQ compiler.
