Did I overlook something, or is the Visual Designer not available to OSX
yet?

Thanks,

We're waiting for you to build one.

LOL! I can't even get my little text editor completed!! :roll:

If I were familiar with PureBasic, I'd be more than happy to make
one.

Seriously, I don't know. The Linux version does not have one so my guess is no.

But maybe Berikco will let us know if the upcoming version will be cross-platform...

Ok, then I suspect that the Visual Designer depends on some MS
specific API calls, which would explain why it is not included for
Linux and OSX.

I'm actually doing relatively fine without it, but it does take a bit longer
to hand code the gui elements.

That's right

Fred told me via private message.

Well...... Guess it isn't private anymore!

Just kidding. Thanks for the confirmation too.

Is it possible to develop a GUI using Visual Designer on a windows machine and then port it to the OS X version ?

Does this work and if so does it work well ?

Bericko said the current alpha version no longer uses api calls for the gadget drawing. (But the code viewer looks like a richedit to me.)
