RULES:

1. In the forum post, reply with as many suggestions as you want.
2. One post per Object suggestion!!! If you have five ideas for Objects, then post 5 times!
3. Don't post an object if someone else did. Instead, vote for their post!

  

The ones with the most votes will go most prominently in our backlog. =^)

 Thanks!

  We've got some good ones going in the forum! Check them out... social.msdn.microsoft.com/.../what-objects-are-missing-in-small-basic Here were the ones I added in there (go vote for them in the forum): Bing.Maps()

• Get Maps in your program Bing.Video()
• Search for videos (like Flickr does for images) and display them in your program. Sandbox object. (detail)
• Originally suggested by Coding Cat Shapes.AddSomething(img, "Hide") to avoid screen flicker. Change the icon of the program and have a variety of windows mouse cursors: *e.g GraphicsWindow.Icon(pathname.extension) *e.g Mouse.Cursor(Hand). Add more controls: ProgressBar, CheckBox, ComboBox, ListBox, CheckedListBox, Slider. *e.g Controls.AddProgrssBar(5, 5, 100, 25) *e.g Controls.AddCheckBox(110, 5, Checked) *e.g Controls.AddComboBox(5, 35, "Items, separated, with, comma") *e.g Controls.AddListBox(5, 60, "Items, separated, with, comma") *e.g Controls.AddCheckedListBox(5, 60, "Items, separated, with, comma") *e.g Controls.AddSlider(x, y, "Items, separated, with, comma") Add dialog methods: OpenFileDialog(), SaveFileDialog, Font/ColorDialog. *e.g File.OpenFileDialog(returns: the file path and file name selected) *e.g File.SaveFileDialog(returns: the file path and file name selected) *e.g File.OpenFontDialog(returns: the settings selected) *e.g File.OpenColorDialog(returns: the settings selected) Playing a video and controlling a video. *e.g Video.Play(pathname.extension) *e.g Video.Pause() *e.g Video.Stop() *e.g Video.Replay() Resize a shape precisely instead of only zooming it since it creates a mesh when resizing a shape with Controls.SetSize(). *e.g Shapes.SetSize(Rectangle, 120, 120)

  Currently these two are in the lead, with 2 points each...

• Add more controls: ProgressBar, CheckBox, ComboBox, ListBox, CheckedListBox, Slider.
• Resize a shape precisely instead of only zooming it since it creates a mesh when resizing a shape with Controls.SetSize().
