Visual Designer Demo Problems

[Dark Mars Software]

I am using the demo version of PureBASIC with the Visual designer. The visual designer has generated the following code that works within Visual designer but if i use it outside of that like the main ide, the debug window appears then disappears and nothing happens. For some strange reason it works within VS but not in the main IDE. Can someone explain why? heres the generated code:

    If CreateGadgetList(WindowID())
      TextGadget(#Text_0, 10, 30, 40, 20, "Sales:$")

;FORGOT TO CALL THE OPENWINDOW PROCEDURE Visual designer just generates procedures unless you specify
;in the preferences to include the EVENT LOOP

Open_Window_0() 

;FOR GOT THE EVENT LOOP
Repeat 
   
  Select WaitWindowEvent()

Thank You, now how do i make it so that when the user clicks on the Calculate button the commission field is 10% of the sales field? Sorry to ask so many questions but i'm a newbie to PureBASIC and it seems a little complicated.

[Comtois]

add something like this

Code: Select all

Case  #PB_Event_Gadget 
      Select EventGadgetID() 
        Case #Button_0
          SetGadgetText(#Commission,StrF(Val(GetGadgetText(#Sales))*0.1,2))
        
EndSelect

..and just so you know, from inside the VD, click Project (dropdown)
then check the box, Include event loop. And it will creae your code like
such.. automatically: When you're done creating your GUI, just go
back to the Project menu, and click: PureBasic Editor

Code: Select all

; PureBasic Visual Designer v3.90 build 1361

IncludeFile "GeneratedIncludeFile.pb"

Open_Window_0()

Repeat
  
  Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  
  If Event = #PB_EventGadget
    
    ;Debug "WindowID: " + Str(EventWindowID())
    
    GadgetID = EventGadgetID()
    
    If GadgetID = #Button_0
      Debug "GadgetID: #Button_0"
      
    ElseIf GadgetID = #Button_1
      Debug "GadgetID: #Button_1"
      
    ElseIf GadgetID = #Button_2
      Debug "GadgetID: #Button_2"
      
    ElseIf GadgetID = #String_0
      Debug "GadgetID: #String_0"
      
    EndIf
    
  EndIf
  
Until Event = #PB_EventCloseWindow

End
;
