O2 dialog editor
« on: August 31, 2020, 05:24:33 AM »
Hello,
I wanted to know if there is a dialog editor for O2.  :D
I tried to do some research in the forum, but I didn't find anything ... :-[

I'd like to know if there is one that was specifically created for O2. I tried to use data from an RC file created with BCXedit, but it didn't work. I had to change the values ​​of the positions, heights and widths of the various objects used. :(

Thank you.

I happen to like IUP for my cross platform GUI forms library. There is an example of using it in the distribution.

I thought James Fuller built a dialog tool for O2 using RC files.

James's tool is buit into o2 for embedding resources (compiled with gorc) into exe files.

the syntax is:
Code: [Select]
uses xyz.res

But maybe I was thinking of a visual designer.

It will be difficult to build an IDE as feature rich as VB6. I've moved toward keeping my UI as a portable component using COM/OLE automation as the glue.

Good idea ... I'd love to do that, but I'm new to o2. I am learning how to use o2 .... with your invaluable help. :)
Visual designer is also in my opinion the best solution.

There is an IUP editor example that might be a good place to start. I was thinking of using it as a cross platform solution for ScriptBasic as an IDE / Debugger. It also has a forms designer that could be incorporated.

@John

Where do I find this example?

Of course it is only applicable and with IUP or not?

Here is where I left off adding a few formatting improvements.

It's in C but Charles has O2 examples in the distribution that will show you how to use it. The forms designer is actually a function call as part of IupShow() that would be a good starting point to incorporate in your IDE.

You can find IUP examples in projectsB\IUP

projectsB\IUP\Scanf1.o2bas is a good demo
