'''REALbasic''' ('''RB''') is an ] dialect of the ] developed and commercially marketed by REAL Software, Inc in ] for ], ], and ]. ] ] ] ], ] ].


== History == == History ==

REALbasic was created by Andrew Barry. It was originally called CrossBasic due to its ability to compile the same programming code for Mac OS and Windows (although the ] was Mac only). It was then redubbed REALbasic by REAL Software when they took over development in ]. The IDE is now available for all three supported platforms (with the exception, as of April 2006, of Macs based on the ]).


== Language features == == Language features ==
RB is a strongly-typed language with minimal automatic type conversion, which supports ] and ], ] ] and class properties, ], and ]. As described in the language reference, its built-in framework supports ], ], real-time ], sound, ] parsing and generation, full ] support, ] calls to compiled ] libraries on all supported platforms, ] datatypes compatibility, ], ], ], sockets (both ] and ]), ], ], ], ], ], ] support through ], ], ], ], ], ] and ] (REAL Software 2006). ] ], ] ] ] ]{{citeneeded}} ], ] ] ] ] support, ] ] libraries on all supported platforms, ] ], ], ](both ] ]), ], ], ], ], ], ] ], ], ], ], ], ] ].

The source file format contains window and control placement data and is proprietary, although XML import and export are supported. All source code can be contained in one project file, but it is also possible to have classes/modules in separate files in the same way as most other languages or dialects can. REALbasic compiles directly to ] for each platform that it supports.


== Current Editions of IDE == == Current Editions of IDE ==

There are two versions of the IDE:
* The professional edition can compile programs for Mac OS X, ], Linux and Windows from the same ] file; it can also access ]s (], ], ] etc.) including the built-in single-user REAL SQL Database engine based on ]; it compiles console applications, can remote debug and has numerous other features.
* The standard edition only compiles programs for the platform that the IDE is running on (either Windows, Linux or Mac), and does not allow access to databases other than the built-in REAL SQL Database.



Both versions of the IDE permit building the application's ] by dragging the controls from a palette to their parent window. Layout of the controls is helped by the IDE that permits aligning them (both horizontally and vertically), and which gives informations about the distance between controls, or between a control and the window borders.

This is an example of operator overloading for a hypothetical Complex class which permits to sum a ] to a ], and to sum two complex numbers:


<pre>
Function Operator_Add(rhs as Simple) As Complex
Dim ret As New Complex
ret.R = Self.R + rhs
ret.I = Self.I
Return ret
End Function


Function Operator_Add(rhs as Complex) As Complex
Dim ret As New Complex
ret.R = Self.R + rhs.R
ret.I = Self.I + rhs.I
Return ret
End Function
</pre>


⚫ The same function can be defined to accept ] ] values.
This code shows how to use the Complex class to sum a real with a complex number:


⚫ ] ]
<pre>

Dim First As New Complex(0, 1)

Dim Second As New Complex(1, 1)
Dim Sum As Complex
Sum = First + 5.0 + Second
// Sum will be (6, 2)
</pre>
