Hi.

Yesterday I used the built in FormDesigner to create a simple 2 gadget Form called 'TestForm01.pbf". When I compile/run the program, I get this:

OpenTestForm01() is Not a function, Array, List, Map Or Macro.

Here is the first portion of my program which dies on line 4

#ProgramTitle = "TestForm01.pb"
#ProgramVersion = "v1.00.0 MG"
XIncludeFile "TestForm01.pbf"
OpenTestForm01()

I tried changing line 4 to:

OpenTestForm01.pbf()

and got this error:

Structure not found :pbf

What to do ?

Thanks,
M...

If OpenTestForm01() exists and is a valid window procedure in your form file, and the form file is in the same folder as your executable, this should work:

Code: Select all

#ProgramTitle = "TestForm01.pb"
#ProgramVersion = "v1.00.0    MG"
XIncludeFile "TestForm01.pbf" 
OpenTestForm01()
While WaitWindowEvent() ! #PB_Event_CloseWindow : Wend

Make sure that the snippet above is saved in the same folder as the form file, and that the form file contains a working procedure named OpenTestForm01().
