Perhaps a simple method to add menues to fasm via DLL or such, this could also serve as an example for dynamically calling functions in DLLs without editing the source. (EX: Like trillian or some other programs call functions from any DLL that pops into their include directory.)

And my other idea is a simple side program (that could be embeded into fasm, later, using the idea above) that would assist in the contruction of certain structures in operating systems, like the windows in windows. (Basically, a program that we can use to make virtual optical examples of what we want in our program so we can... Well, it's hard to explain... Kinda like in visual studio where you can make templates for your windows and export it to a resource file, only we can make this a fasm resource file, which won't need any converting to get it to work with our fasm programs.)

2nd: see (dead) Fresh project - fresh.flatassembler.net

Looks very nice, but looking at the thread for it, it seems that it might stil need development, it's a shame that such a nice looking project is dead.

I like the idea of Visual FASM in one sense but then it becomes too specific in another.

Some people have made dialog editors that create FASM resource includes for you, im too tired to trawl the forum though...

Aye, as am i. If worst comes to worst i could probably write a converted for visual studio's things, or make my own. lol That's a project i'll have to try doing later. lol
