If you have got the last 3.94 release of PureBasic, just use the Visual Designer and push F1 !

The help should put you on the tracks.

oh yeah you know after you made ur form and you saved it how "would" you code it with your project?

I hope you understand what i mean :s

Design your form then click on:

Project > Generate Source

Then it automatically creates the code you've designed. I haven't tried the newest release but the old one created two files an include file an the main file, you'll only need the one with the most code in it!

You'll probally want to look up on Procedures, Constants and Enumerations.

Well basically the Visual Designer can create a project, which is not the code but the collection of objects and behaviours.

When loading this project, you can switch to PureBasic editor (Project menu). If you do so, you will get two source files in the PureBasic editor.

The first one is GeneratedMainFile.pb which is the caller of the second GeneratedIncludeFile.pb.

To focus on the program you want to design, you can go to GeneratedMainFile.pb and add the following lines :

Code: Select all

  
  Open_Window_0()
  
  Repeat
    Select WaitWindowEvent()
      Case #PB_Event_Menu
        Select EventMenuID()
          ; put there your menu events
        EndSelect
      Case #PB_Event_Gadget
        Select EventGadgetID()
          ; put there your gadget events
        EndSelect
      Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
        Quit = #True
    EndSelect
  Until Quit
  
End

Hope this helps
