using dialog resources in PB

FloHimself · Post by **FloHimself** » Thu Sep 29, 2005 2:24 pm

ts-soft posted an example of how to use
(dialog) resources in PB on german forum .

you can find the thread here:
http://forums.purebasic.com/german/viewtopic.php?t=4188

dialog.rc

Code: Select all

and a demo by fgk:

download:
http://home.tiscali.de/pbsource/PB_Stuf ... EdDemo.exe

the best dialog / resource editor we found seens ResEd.
download: http://radasm.visualassembler.com/projects/ResEd.zip (written in MASM with source code)

after some tests playing with the dialog editor i created an
example how to use the "custom-controls" that can be found
at http://radasm.visualassembler.com/:

source:
http://rzserv2.fhnon.de/~lg016586/downl ... ogTest.zip

then i modified the original ResEd to export the resource names as
PB constants.

you can download this modified version of ResEd at:
http://rzserv2.fhnon.de/~lg016586/downl ... modded.exe (i will release modified source in some hours/days /EDIT: PureBasic is now supported in official release of ResEd)

thanks @ts-soft and @fgk for the thread on german forum.

i hope this info is interesting for someone here, too.
it's an good alternative (at least for me) to the windows created with the
visual designers.

Does anyone still have a copy of PBResEdDemo.exe for the example in the original post?

I adapted TS-Soft's example and put it here just for reference...
Some remarks:
(1) The dialog was composed with 'ResEdt' (you can get it here: http://www.oby.ro/rad_asm/projects/ResEd.zip)
(2) As 'porc.exe' (distributed with PureBasic) doesn't compile the resource script (because of lacking header files), I tried 'GoRC.exe' as resource compiler (you can get it here: http://www.godevtool.com/index.htm, command: gorc /r InsertDialog.rc) and imported the resulting 'InsertDialog.res' using the PureBasic 'Import' statement.

'InsertDialog.rc' (-> compile to 'InsertDialog.res')

Code: Select all

#define IDD_DLG_INSERT 1000
#define IDC_STC_INSERT 1001
#define IDC_BTN_INSERTBEFORE 1002
#define IDC_BTN_INSERTAFTER 1003
IDD_DLG_INSERT DIALOGEX 0,0,140,80
CAPTION "Insert where?"
FONT 8,"MS Shell Dlg",0,0,0	;we use the system font -> to do this you have to specify 'DS_SHELLFONT' in the following line
STYLE WS_POPUP|WS_VISIBLE|WS_CAPTION|WS_SYSMENU|DS_CENTER|DS_MODALFRAME|DS_SHELLFONT
BEGIN
  CONTROL "Where do you want to insert?",IDC_STC_INSERT,"Static",WS_CHILD|WS_VISIBLE,6,6,133,15
  CONTROL "Before",IDC_BTN_INSERTBEFORE,"Button",WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP|BS_VCENTER|BS_CENTER|BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,9,24,120,20
  CONTROL "After",IDC_BTN_INSERTAFTER,"Button",WS_VISIBLE|WS_TABSTOP|BS_VCENTER|BS_CENTER|BS_DEFPUSHBUTTON,9,51,120,20

Has anyone tried to convert DialogEx resources to Purebasic statements (gadgets)?

Here's a quick start which only converts the dialog window but no gadgets, also no error handling or flag filtering/conversion is done...

Code: Select all

; Define

	#DialogExIDAuto=0
	#DialogExIDConstants=4
	#DialogExComma=",";			or ", "

	Structure CoordType
		x.i
		y.i
		w.i
		h.i
	EndStructure

; EndDefine

Procedure GetCoords(s.s,n,*c.CoordType)

	*c\x=Val(StringField(s,n,","))
	*c\y=Val(StringField(s,n+1,","))
	*c\w=Val(StringField(s,n+2,","))
	*c\h=Val(StringField(s,n+3,","))

EndProcedure
Procedure.s IDString(n)

	If #DialogExIDConstants
		ProcedureReturn "#ID"+RSet(Str(n),#DialogExIDConstants,"0")
	Else
		ProcedureReturn Str(n)
	EndIf

EndProcedure
Procedure.s CoordString(*c.CoordType)

	ProcedureReturn Str(*c\x)+#DialogExComma+Str(*c\y)+#DialogExComma+Str(*c\w)+#DialogExComma+Str(*c\h)

EndProcedure
Procedure.s FlagString(s.s)

	s=ReplaceString(s," ","")
	s=ReplaceString(s,"|","|#")

	ProcedureReturn "#"+s

EndProcedure

Procedure ConvertDialogEx()

	Protected s.s,t.s
	Protected Error,n
	Protected ID,x,y,w,h
	Protected flags.s
	Protected caption.s
	Protected coords.CoordType
	Protected constants.s

	If ReadFile(0,"dialog.txt")
		s=ReadString(0)
		If StringField(s,2," ")="DIALOGEX"
			If #DialogExIDAuto
				ID+1
			Else
				ID=Val(StringField(s,1," "))
			EndIf
			n=FindString(s," ",FindString(s," ")+1)
			s=Mid(s,n+1)
			GetCoords(s,1,coords)

			Repeat
				s=ReadString(0)
				Select Left(s,5)
				Case "STYLE"
					flags=FlagString(Mid(s,7))
				Case "CAPTI"
					caption=Mid(s,9)
				Case "FONT "
				EndSelect
			Until Error Or s="{"

			s=IDString(ID)
			constants+s+#CRLF$
			Debug "OpenWindow("+s+#DialogExComma+CoordString(coords)+#DialogExComma+caption+#DialogExComma+flags+")"
		Else
			Error=1
		EndIf

		If Error=0
			Repeat
				s=Trim(ReadString(0))
				If StringField(s,1," ")="CONTROL"
					Debug s
				EndIf
			Until Error Or s="}"

		EndIf

	EndIf

	ProcedureReturn Error

EndProcedure

Target is to replace dialog ressources like the following with native purebasic commands. Even better would be a bidirectional conversion, this would allow to use different ressource kits for creating dialog forms...
