Can I create gadgets Realtime? (on the fly).

e.g. from reading an ini file.

Or must I predefine a couple of gadgets and then hide/show, activate etc.

Sure... creating 10 gadgets at startup is just the same as creating
5 at startup and another 5 later on in your code.

In Paul's site you can find some example using an ini file (ini2GUI is the name of the example).

Here is another example:

Code: Select all

If OpenWindow(0,100,10,250,500,#PB_Window_SystemMenu,"Create Gadgets at Runtime!")
  CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
  ButtonGadget(0,1,1,90,25,"Create Button")
  Repeat
    EventID=WaitWindowEvent()
    
    Select EventID
    
      Case #PB_EventGadget
        Select EventGadgetID()
          Case 0
            GadgetNum  = GadgetNum + 1
            ButtonGadget(GadgetNum,1 ,30*GadgetNum,80,25, "Button #" +Str(GadgetNum))
          Default
            MessageRequester("Click","Button#" + Str(EventGadgetID())+" was clicked",0)
        EndSelect
    
    EndSelect
    
  Until EventID=#PB_EventCloseWindow
EndIf
