Paul Squires has done an amazing job on the IDE which now has a working visual designer though still in the early stages.
the IDE + Designer work a lot like VB so it's very easy to design a working GUI, so I hope some of you will give it a try and hopefully help Paul by finding any bugs.
first, download the suite from https://github.com/PaulSquires/WinFBE/releases
second, download the bug-fixed WinFBE32 from http://www.planetsquires.com/protect/fo ... 7#msg31847 and replace it.
for first timers here's a tiny first steps in designing your first GUI
launch WinFBE32, from project menu select new project
once that's done, on top-right select the build type, select Win32 GUI (Release)
from the designer menu select New Form (which creates Untitled1.bas)
right-click on Untitled1.bas and Save As MyFirstGui.bas
right-click on MyFirstGui.bas and set it from Normal File to Main File
now from the ToolBox select TextBox and draw a TextBox on the form
do the same for a button, with button selected on the form click on the Properties tab on the ToolBox
change the Text from Button1 to OK
click on the events tab and check Click
now on the bottom of the form you have two tabs, Design and Code, click on the Code tab to view the generated code
at the bottom you will have the following code
Code: Select all
Function Form1_Button1_Click( ByRef sender As wfxButton, ByRef e As EventArgs) As LRESULT
Function = 0
End Function
Code: Select all
Function Form1_Button1_Click( ByRef sender As wfxButton, ByRef e As EventArgs) As LRESULT
Form1.TextBox1.Text = "Hello World"
Function = 0
End Function
