Namespaces would indeed be very helpful - for two reasons:
1) it would allow for a better way of accessing Declares. A

to keep declaring the same API functions inside every RB method
that calls
it
2) it would facilitate much better support for incorporating
3rd party code
into projects - whether RB based through DLL declares or plugins.
My idea for namespaces would be to implement them simply as a
special type
of RB project folder. Any RB class, module,interface or window
placed
inside such a folder would then be accessed by using the
namespace name as a
dot prefix.
A module with methods works for this
Create a method that wraps the declare once and use the heck out
of it
That is rb's namespace mechanism at the moment
If RB could inline these wrapper methods that might actually be
useful! I don't really get the namespace request but a way to
define a declare once and use it everywhere (or define it once in
a class and use it there) would be hugely helpful. I recall a time
when you could drag a library into the project and defining entry
points - decalres seem a bit backwards in comparison...
Agreed
A way to drag in a DLL or dylib and one time define the entry
points would be very nice
Is there a feature request for such a thing ?
I don't see one (though that doesn't necessarily mean there isn't
one). While we're at it, might as well request this support static
libs too.
Frank.
