SkinSave(Path.s = "", Skin = #Null) command is coming along nicely! Creates a subdirectory of the skin name containing a bunch of css files named by the theme (or 'default.css' if no theme is specified in the SkinSetValue() class path) e.g. 'default.css', 'dark.css', 'light.css', 'blue.css' etc..

So from the following test example code:

Code: Select all

SkinSetValue("testContainer", "", "", "border", "rgb(0 0 200 / 50%)")
SkinSetValue("testContainer", "", "", "border-radius", "20px")
SkinSetValue("testContainer", "", "", "background-color", "orange")

;SkinSetValue("testContainer", "", "", "background", "radial-gradient(yellow, orange, red), url('icons/boingball2.png'), url('icons/boingball.png'), linear-gradient(yellow, red)")

I've improved the formatting a bit and now there is a "data" subdirectory in the skin's directory that contains all the images etc which are copied from any "url()" file paths with the "url()" updated to point to the "data" directory:

haha check this out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jgyh2L6TSoU

So the ProGUI V3 skin save / load commands are now working which generate web standard CSS files (with the exception of the 'background-opacity' property) and the skin CSS can be edited and saved in realtime (with your editor of choice, VS Code in this example) and the "compiled exe" will update in realtime. :D

The beauty is you can tweek your UI whilst it's running without a re-compile :)

Hi guys, some preliminary documentaion working now (with the help of Gemini 2.5 pro experimental - dumped all the source into the million token context window :lol: ) "Window Management" and "Layout Management" are written up (around 100 of the 350+ commands) (I'll be manually going over every command to touch-up / embellish) https://www.progui.co.uk/downloads/testhelp/Index.html

me sneaks away and asks Gemini 2.5 pro experimental to create an advanced gui library just like pro gui in PB :lol:

That's really pretty cool you can get it to the documentation.

me sneaks away and asks Gemini 2.5 pro experimental to create an advanced gui library just like pro gui in PB :lol:

That's really pretty cool you can get it to the documentation.
:lol: :lol: Yea I'm really impressed, it even generates examples! :shock: I tried experimenting with ChatGPT 4.5 a couple of weeks ago to see if it could generate docs with some mixed results (and expense!) but yea this should be a huge time saver for generating the grunt of it, I'll be going over it manually to refine.

The "Widget Managment" section is now generated with another 66 commands https://www.progui.co.uk/downloads/testhelp/Index.html again I will be refining the generated docs (there are some under-the-hood details that aren't necessary but it's cool that it understands how the code works!)

*edit "Event Handling" and "Graphics & Drawing" now generated, I'm really impressed with the "Graphics & Drawing" section (especially the code examples) - it's possibly better than what I could write manually :shock: ... the great thing with dumping the entire source code for ProGUI V3 into Gemini is it captures things that I might have missed (or forgot to mention) whilst explaining with clarity (even if it does go too much into the internal workings sometimes - which of course is easily rectifiable with manual refinement and editing)

Hi PrinceD

I found a bug: when you open an image (Select border image to load...) and zoom in too far with the mouse wheel, your program quits.

Otherwise, your program looks great. But could you explain very simply what it's for? (without using computer jargon).

Thx :wink:

Hi SPH, thanks for reporting - that sounds like the BorderImgEditor.exe? this is just a handy tool for editing image borders (for use in ProGUI V3). Image borders are made up of an image sliced into different parts for the corners, sides etc - called 9 slicing (here's the jargon!) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9-slice_scaling. ProGUI V3 is a UI framework library that allows you to create sophisticated user interfaces for your desktop apps easily. The BorderImgEditor tool is created using ProGUI V3 with source code given as an example of how to create an app using the framework.

Thanks, PrinceD

Ultimately, it's a kind of PhotoFilter (or Photoshop) Lite with no connection to PB instructions.
So it's a graphics editing tool?

:wink:

Not quite, it allows you to easily define Border Image slices (by dragging them - what you see is what you get) and experiment with the various settings (and visualise what it would look like in your app with the DrawBorder() commands etc). It generates PureBasic code that you can cut and paste (without having to guess through trial and error side offsets etc..) - so a handy tool that is also a good example of what ProGUI V3 is capable of and a good learning resource with the full code given

Hi guys, full "preliminary" docs generated now https://www.progui.co.uk/downloads/testhelp/Index.html, keep an eye on this URL as I refine (Skinning needs a bit of work, but for the most part really good) - this is a first pass so take the generated examples with a pinch of salt, look at the test examples in the archive for how things are actually done however the command documentation is pretty accurate. I should have marked "WindowOutput()" as an internal command only as everything is event driven now needing a draw event handler. WindowOutput() should never be used really but anyway the docs are pretty good for the time being for use with the alpha! (skinning is working in the latest build only, which I might release another alpha tomorrow) but there is some actual docs now though lol

Hi guys, I've been working on the second draft of the documentation (almost done). Nearly every command has an example that you can just cut and paste into PB and it works (with the current build, I've manually gone through every code example to make sure it works - all 350+ commands). Also finalising some of the missing API functionality for the beta (or last alpha with docs before beta). This is a nice example from the DrawSkinBackground() command docs:

Code: Select all

IncludeFile "ProGUI_PB.pbi"

StartProGUI()

; Define some skin properties for a widget with class "myBackgroundWidget"
SkinSetValue("myBackgroundWidget", "", "", "background-color", "lightblue")
SkinSetValue("myBackgroundWidget", "", "", "background-image", "url('icons/boingball.png'), linear-gradient(to bottom, white, silver)")
SkinSetValue("myBackgroundWidget", "", "", "background-repeat", "no-repeat, repeat-x")
SkinSetValue("myBackgroundWidget", "", "", "background-position", "center, 0 0")
SkinSetValue("myBackgroundWidget", "", "", "background-size", "contain, auto 50px") ; Contain boingball, gradient is 50px high

SkinSetValue("myBackgroundWidget", "hover", "", "background-color", "lightgreen") ; Change color on hover
SkinSetValue("myBackgroundWidget", "", "", "transition", "background-color 1s") ; Animate color change

Procedure DrawBgWidget(Widget, EventType, *EventData.PG_EventDraw, *UserData)
  ; Draw the background defined in the skin for the main component ("")
  DrawSkinBackground(Widget, "", 0, 0, *EventData\width, *EventData\height)

  ; Optionally draw other things on top
  DrawBoxStroke(1, 1, *EventData\width-2, *EventData\height-2, RGB(0,0,0), 0.5)
EndProcedure

Procedure MouseBgWidget(Widget, EventType, *EventData.PG_EventMouse)
  Select EventType
    Case #PG_Event_MouseEnter
      WidgetSetSkinState(Widget, "hover")
    Case #PG_Event_MouseLeave
      WidgetSetSkinState(Widget, "")
  EndSelect
EndProcedure

MyWindow = CreateWindow(0, 0, 400, 300, "DrawSkinBackground Example")
RootLayout = WindowGetLayout(MyWindow)
LayoutSetPadding(RootLayout, 10)

If MyWindow
  BgWidget = CreateWidget(0, 0, 0, 0)
  WidgetSetMinWidth(BgWidget, 100)
  WidgetSetMinHeight(BgWidget, 100)
  WidgetSetClass(BgWidget, "myBackgroundWidget") ; Assign class for skinning
  AddEventHandler(BgWidget, #PG_Event_Draw, @DrawBgWidget())
  AddEventHandler(BgWidget, #PG_Event_MouseEnter, @MouseBgWidget())
  AddEventHandler(BgWidget, #PG_Event_MouseLeave, @MouseBgWidget())

  WindowShow(MyWindow, #True, #PG_Window_ScreenCentered)

  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

StopProGUI()
Another one from WidgetSetOpacity() :

Code: Select all

IncludeFile "ProGUI_PB.pbi"

StartProGUI()

Procedure DrawFadingWidget(Widget, EventType, *EventData.PG_EventDraw, *UserData)
    DrawBox(0, 0, *EventData\width, *EventData\height, RGB(80, 120, 200))
EndProcedure

Procedure FadeInHandler(Widget, EventType, *EventData.PG_EventAnimate, *UserData)
    If EventType = #PG_Event_Animate And *EventData\state = #PG_Event_Animate_Update
        ; Calculate opacity from 0.0 to 1.0 over the animation duration
        CurrentOpacity.f = *EventData\currentTime / *EventData\duration
        WidgetSetOpacity(Widget, CurrentOpacity)
        Debug "Opacity: " + StrF(CurrentOpacity, 2)
    ElseIf EventType = #PG_Event_Animate And *EventData\state = #PG_Event_Animate_End
        WidgetSetOpacity(Widget, 1.0) ; Ensure it's fully opaque at the end
        Debug "Fade-in complete."
    EndIf
EndProcedure

MyWindow = CreateWindow(0, 0, 300, 200, "Widget Opacity Example")
RootLayout = WindowGetLayout(MyWindow)
LayoutSetPadding(RootLayout, 10)

If MyWindow
  FadingWidget = CreateWidget(0, 0, 150, 80)
  WidgetSetClass(FadingWidget, "fader")
  WidgetSetMargin(FadingWidget, 5)
  WidgetSetOpacity(FadingWidget, 0.0) ; Start fully transparent
  AddEventHandler(FadingWidget, #PG_Event_Draw, @DrawFadingWidget())
  AddEventHandler(FadingWidget, #PG_Event_Animate, @FadeInHandler())

  WindowShow(MyWindow, #True, #PG_Window_ScreenCentered)

  ; Start a 3-second animation to fade the widget in
  StartAnimation(FadingWidget, 1, 3000)
  Debug "Starting fade-in animation..."

  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

StopProGUI()
Another one for DrawPath() in the Graphics & Drawing section:

Code: Select all

IncludeFile "ProGUI_PB.pbi"

StartProGUI()

Procedure DrawHandler(Window, EventType, *EventData.PG_EventDraw, *UserData)
  
    DrawClear(RGB(255, 255, 255), 1)

    ; Define a star-like path
    PathMoveTo(100, 10)
    PathAddLine(130, 80)
    PathAddLine(200, 80)
    PathAddLine(140, 130)
    PathAddLine(170, 200)
    PathAddLine(100, 150)
    PathAddLine(30, 200)
    PathAddLine(60, 130)
    PathAddLine(0, 80)
    PathAddLine(70, 80)
    PathClose()

    ; Fill the path with semi-transparent red
    DrawPath(RGB(255, 0, 0), 0.7, #PG_Path_Preserve | #PG_Path_Winding) ; Preserve path for stroke

    ; Stroke the same path in blue
    DrawSetStroke(2)
    DrawPathStroke(RGB(0, 0, 255)) ; Path was preserved

    DrawSetStroke(1)
EndProcedure

MyWindow = CreateWindow(0, 0, 220, 220, "DrawPath Example")

If MyWindow
  AddEventHandler(MyWindow, #PG_Event_Draw, @DrawHandler())
  WindowShow(MyWindow, #True, #PG_Window_ScreenCentered)

  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
EndIf

StopProGUI()

Glad to see progress on the documentation. Hope all is going well, otherwise. It sounds like it is.

Now that looks cool. Congrats on getting the documentation there, as a documentaition maintainer for a project with hundreds of runnable code examples, I know how annoying testing them can be. I look forward to this!
