Application wizards...

[GypsyPrince]

I would like to see some application wizards/templates for say...

SDI applications
MDI applications (especially this one)
basic splitter window application (especially this one too - I know there are sample apps but I'm not yet advanced enough to strip out the stuff I don't want from them)
simple console applications
database applications using SQLite

I know the creators want to differentiate PureBasic from Visual Basic as much as possible, but these trinkets would be nice for those of us who are slow learners...

Hi,

only a note:

You'll never learn something from cut and paste.
You only learn something from doing it yourself.

[GypsyPrince]

I don't have time to learn. I only have time to produce apps. If it weren't for .NET being unsecured bloatware running through a virtual machine, I would have stuck with the RAD of Visual Basic.

Equilibrium.

Sorry to say, but ...

So you'll not fit this forum, because then you also have no time to help someone else.

[GypsyPrince]

No... I'll not fit this forum because when I ask a question I expect a straightforward answer to it without it being followed up with sarcasm or useless verbage.

If the people who create this program don't see adding wizards to a program that I paid for as feasable, then let them be the one to say so in a rational, straightforward manner, and the others who have nothing to do with implementing said improvements can keep their snide remarks to themselves. As I don't have time for learning new concepts, I also do not have time to deal with smart-asses who like to hear the sound of their own voice because everyone else has discovered that he/she is not as intelligent as he/she would like everyone to think he/she is. Smart-ass and sarcasm seem to be the order of the day in these forums with very little actual help of any value from people who think they know everything.

Again, if you can answer my questions without being a narcissistic smart-ass and the snide commentary, then please do so. And I'll return the favor

Shoe fit maybe?

If that is your expectation, then be prepared to be disappointed. If you look at the majority of the posts on the Wishlist forum, they do not get a response from the dev team. Those that do get a response are not always positive nor negative. They just do not respond to every post. Good, bad, or otherwise, it is the way it is here.

@GP
Mine was both a smart-ass and a snide commentary.
This is directed towards a person, who 'flat out' has no intention of
learning the language and wants everything premade and ready to ship to his customers.
For the life of me, I can't understand why you're even here, Since you have no time and
no intention of learning? You should hire a developer and let that person use the time you don't have
to make the product you want.
I find your reasons for not learning a language ........ extremely unreasonable.

The examples in the documentation should work as templates. For instance, when I look up SplitterGadget() I see this example is at the bottom:

Code: Select all

  If OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 230, 180, "SplitterGadget", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    #Button1  = 0
    #Button2  = 1
    #Splitter = 2

    ButtonGadget(#Button1, 0, 0, 0, 0, "Button 1") ; No need to specify size or coordinates
    ButtonGadget(#Button2, 0, 0, 0, 0, "Button 2") ; as they will be sized automatically
    SplitterGadget(#Splitter, 5, 5, 220, 120, #Button1, #Button2, #PB_Splitter_Separator)

    TextGadget(3, 10, 135, 210, 40, "Above GUI part shows two automatically resizing buttons inside the 220x120 SplitterGadget area.",#PB_Text_Center )

    Repeat
    Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
  EndIf

Hi GP. I think application wizards / templates are a perfectly reasonable request. Personally I envision it more as a community-developed IDE tool than an official feature though -- I prefer the team spending their time on the language/libraries . Maybe you could further discuss what you'd like to see in a wizard?
