More view types?

[o0spyder0o]

Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find anything.
With Eclipse and other development tools there are many views available that I don't see in this IDE, I know of the libraries and such but specifically I mean how do we add a datepicker component or progress bars and other widgets? I see NSbasic has quite a few widgets compared to this one, are you adding more or is there something I've missed that allows me to do this.
Many thanks

B4A has a progress bar, regarding date picker, you can look at THIS library.

Also, read about views HERE and HERE if you need more info

NSBasic, from what I've looked at, seems to be a VB script writer. That's why in runs in browers, etc. Looks like you have to use PhoneGap with it and also install Eclipse to generate a real apk. Also, looks that PhoneGap requires Mac OS 10.6 and no Windows Support. B4A produces very clean, optimized byte-code. I feel sure that B4A is a more powerful and complete IDE.

As an owner of NSBasic/Ce NSBasic App Studio and Basic4Android - My choice hands down is B4A. I had the NSBasic long before B4A and there is no comparison - B4A is definately the way to go!

I see the progress bar is already there, missed that one.
Thanks all for your replies, the dialogs lib looks like it fills in the components I was looking for. I wasn't intending to put this program head to head against NSbasic, I tried that demo and ended up buying B4A instead. Mostly because it exposes the code methods as you type unlike NSB.
One plus for NSB though is the multi platform it supports and it does create APK's as they can be created from the developer's website when you use that function. Regardless, this was a better priced option and I'm getting to like it the more I use it. Cheers
