Re: FBGUI library for windows 2

@VANYA Simple when you know how! Thank you very much. That's just what I needed. I would point out, however, that there is no reference to WS_BORDER in the chm help file. Below is a simple 3-row x 4-column grid made up of StringGadgets, with the StringGadget ID referenced in each StringGadget: '====...

Re: FBGUI library for windows 2

@VANYA I've tried to use FBGUI many times and always ended up with many errors. I normally use a 64bit version of FB. Thanks for your post on 22 July advising that it only be used on a 32bit version of FB. I am now getting the examples to work without errors. What I don't seem to be able to do is to...

Re: Windows GUI

I just wanted to write a simple WinGUI.bi and WinDialogs.bi by means of using code examples and some own study of win32_fb.chm for simple applications. I am not a Windows API expert, in particular, the LoadSaveDialog was not written by me, so I think I would need more help to modify it or to write ...

Re: Windows GUI

That is not applicable to my program. Tab functionality should work for the window that is on the foreground. Easier said than done, I know. I presume "that is on the foreground" means the second window that is on top. If this is the case then Lothar's code works. I have increased the siz...

Re: Windows GUI

@Provoni, RNBW, ... I ask your and other people's opinion regarding Josep Roca's proposal for using the TAB key. The modification of WinGUI.bi is nearly ready and tested so far. I could do the following: 1....... 2....... 3....... 4....... What would you like? (I prefer solution 3) Lothar I agree w...

Re: Windows GUI

Provoni There is also a tutorial "Erste Schritte in der WinAPI mit FBEdit" (First Steps in WinAPI with FBEdit), but only in german ( https://www.freebasic-portal.de/tutorials/erste-schritte-in-der-winapi-mit-freebasic-fbedit-104.html . It's a good tutorial. It's well worthwhile using Googl...

Re: Windows gui programming tutorials in FbEdit or FireFly ?

I have little or no experience of using Firefly, so I don't know what the PUMP_HOOK file it's or does and can't answer that question. What I find with a GUI designer is that if you have a small number of controls then it it's a quick way of producing the outline code and then you fill in the blanks ...

Re: Windows gui programming tutorials in FbEdit or FireFly ?

The folder where Fb looks for it's inc files is in the inc folder. If you point to the Freebasic folder, you will find the folder inc as a sub-folder. Open this folder and you will see all the .no files. You should place WinGUI in this folder and FB will always look for it here. Hope you can underst...

Re: Windows gui programming tutorials in FbEdit or FireFly ?

You say that you have used Petzold's book, then you will recognize the functions in the postings referred to by Lothar Schirm. If you haven't it's worth getting a used copy (you can often get them cheaply on Amazon). Lothar's library it's simple to use and it's uncluttered. His download provides exa...

Re: Simple WinAPI GUI library

Hi Lothar Nice example, I will include it in the next update. You wrote that the column widths can be changed by the user. How? In the source code? Regarding the combobox, we recently had a discussion. Meanwhile I think it might be useful to include also a combobox in the project, even if it has no ...

Re: Simple WinAPI GUI library

Lothar The code below uses WinGUI and shows two identical grids. The columns are of varying widths, which can be changed by the user. Data is entered into the top grid. Click on the <Click me!> button and the data is transferred into the second grid. You may wish to include it in your examples for W...

Re: Simple programs to start

It's not clear whether you want to incorporate and editbox in some way in the code from BeginnerST or whether you just want to produce code with an editbox in any program. If it is the latter, and you are just looking at simple coding, I would suggest that you look at Lothar Schirm's WinGUI ( http:/...
