here is my version of a form designer.
PureDesign is developped under Linux, which therefore is the main target, but is working also under Windows. Unfortunately there is no version for Mac, since I don't have one. The source probably would compile on a Mac or would require only very little modification to do so.
The following list shows the main features, without claiming to be complete.
- Menu including submenus with or without icons
- Toolbar
- Statusbar
- Placing and moving gadgets with drag&drop
- Colouring and resizing
- Include of images
- Multiple windows
- and many others..
After the download finished, unzip the folder to a place where you have full access, e.g. READ and WRITE permissions.
Although pretty much self explaining there is a short help file included.
Linux: If the program does not start after a left mouse click, right click on the symbol, open properties, go to permissions, check the box marked "Is executable", click OK and try again. Do the same with "PureDesignHelp".
New version: PureDesign V1.1.0
New: Forms can be modified at any time without the loss of manual written code.
Conditions are, that code has been written only in those sections which are reserved for it,
or is part of the event loop.
New: The preview allows to see the modifications of the code file made with PureDesign.
New: Code can be generated and loaded in PureBasic IDE directly from PureDesign.
A lot of bugs have been removed.
New version: PureDesign V1.2.0
New: PureDesign is now multilingual.
For each language a 'catalog' is used. This is a plain text file and therefore easy to create. The catalog starts with a header, which has to be used in each of them. Next are the words or phrases, which are used by the program. Those have to be translated into the desired language. Do not change the sequence of the lines. Also make sure the translated word in the new file is at exactly the same line as in the original file. That's all.
English and German catalogs are included. They can be used as a reference.
Again a lot of bugs have been removed.
