Forms within Forms

[tikidays]

Hi, new to PureBasic, was wondering if there was a way to have a list of forms (Child forms) in a scrolling area on a parent form. I wasn't sure how to search for this and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks, looks promising, any examples on how to achieve this with a form as opposed to a gadget?

What do you mean with

a form as opposed to a gadget

?
I never have read the word "form" in the PureBasic documentation.

I think we're struggling to understand what it is that you're trying to achieve. Can you suggest an example of a program that already has a design similar to what you're trying to achieve? Or can you post a link to an image that shows something like it?

Sorry guys, yes I'm attempting to re-program my older application so it can be run on modern OSs , what Im after is this:



So each line is a PBF (form?) Can a PBF be a gadget?

I actually wasn't aware of the fact that those things in PureBasic are called "forms". My mistake, sorry!
A "form" is just a window that may contain several gadgets. You can create it with the built-in "form designer", or you can achieve the same result by writing the respective code by hand.
So no, a PBF file contains gadgets, but it cannot be a gadget.

The simple form designer from Purebasic creates a code with a window and gadget controls.
This is recreated each time it is edited with the Form Designer.

In another file, for example Main.pb, include the file for example FormMain.pbf and call the procedure OpenFormMain to open the window (form).

See Purebasic help: https://www.purebasic.com/documentation ... _form.html

Not sure why the image is not showing, this better?



Regardless thanks for the feedback! Ill tackle it another way.
