The above file does not appear in my just downloaded copy of Pure Basic
4.02. I can't figure out how you tie the forms in with the program your writing. I also need to know how you number them. I put 2 forms on the screen and both were numbered 0?? Can anyone tell me how I could acquire this particular file. Thanks in advance!! :roll:

You downloaded Visual Designer Version 4 ALPHA.
There is no help file for the alpha version, it is for testing, and should be done by users who know there way around in PureBasic and Visual Designer.

I just paid $100 bucks and downloade version 4.10 and still can't find
visual Designer.chm or any of the answers to the questions I asked
in the above? Also how come so many of the examples come up with
Expecting String not number or the reverse when trying to open a window?

Basically you won't have any use for the visual designer until you know how to code windows "by hand", because it generates PB code that you need to be able to understand if you want to use it without problems.

For the error, swap the last parameters of the OpenWindow() function.

Not sure what you downloaded. The Visual Designer that comes with my Purebasic 4.10 has a .chm help file.

As for your questions:

1: You don't really tie the "forms" to anything in the sense that Visual Basic does, Visual Designer produces the code for the gadgets that you simply load in the editor.

2: You don't have to change the numbering. If you create a stringgadget it's name will be string_0 and then a buttongadget it will be button_0, if you add another button it will be button_1

3: The reason some examples fail is probably because Purebasic changed syntax for opening a window in version 4, due to popular demand, and all the examples simply hasn't been updated yet.

Edit: Damnit Trond, don't answer quicker than me!!!

I have the same problem: I just bought/downloaded PB v4.10 and there is NO help file for the visual designer. I reported that to the support by mail.
Regards

By the way: In my PB v4.10 copy there is Visual Designer v3.95 build 1485 included - not an alpha version of v4. And v3.95 came without a help file.

you can download the help file for the old version here http://www.purebasic.be/download.htm

What happens when you choose Help -> Help in the visual designer? Doesn't the help file show?
