First steps

Sometimes I have to prepare a simple dialog to test some functions.
Some Says , some gets and Button that invokes a function
As you can see in the picture Says and Gets are not aligned
although the coordinates of SAY and GET are identical
Is there a trick to make sure that they are aligned?
I.E to use a particular font or something else?
Code: Select all | Expand
#include "fivewin.ch"
FUNCTION MAIN()
LOCAL oDlg
LOCAL oSay1 , oSay2 , oSay3
LOCAL oGet1 , oGet2 , oGet3
LOCAL cGet1 , cGet2 , cGet3
LOCAL oButton
cGet1 := SPACE( 20 )
cGet2 := SPACE( 20 )
cGet3 := SPACE( 20 )
DEFINE DIALOG oDlg FROM 3 , 3 TO 400 , 400 PIXEL
@ 2 , 2 SAY oSay1 PROMPT "First" OF oDlg
@ 4 , 2 SAY oSay2 PROMPT "Second" OF oDlg
@ 6 , 2 SAY oSay3 PROMPT "Third" OF oDlg
@ 2 , 10 GET oGet1 VAR cGet1 OF oDlg
@ 4 , 10 GET oGet2 VAR cGet2 OF oDlg
@ 6 , 10 GET oGet3 VAR cGet3 OF oDlg
@ 8 , 10 BUTTON oButton ACTION MsgInfo( "TEST" )
ACTIVATE DIALOG oDlg CENTER
RETURN NIL

Marco,
I made a good sample to create easy dialogs here :

Hello Marco,
I would suggest you following – the most comfortable way I found.
1) Create your dialog with Visual Union for Fivewin.
2) Generate source code from your visual design.
3) Afterwards you can use AUTOCODE to edit every line in a visual style.
Best regards,
Otto

Marco,
As Enrico has pointed:
@ ..., ... SAY ... OF ... PIXEL
@ ..., ... GET ... OF ... PIXEL
the PIXEL clause avoids any calculations. What you write is what you get.
Besides that, you can use the SIZE clause to specify some desired dimensions:
@ ..., ... SAY ... OF ... PIXEL SIZE ..., ... // nWidth and nHeight
@ ..., ... GET ... OF ... PIXEL SIZE ..., ...

Otto,
FiveWin provides a samples/fiveform.prg utility that it is a forms designer that generates source code
The good thing is that we also have it for FiveLinux and FiveMac, and we provide full source code for it. So you can even include it in your own apps
Finally, where do you download Visual Union from ? We do have it at FiveWin-contributions:
https://code.google.com/p/fivewin-contributions/downloads/listbut not sure if that is the latest version

Hello Antonio,
thank you for the information.
I don’t know how it happened but I forgot about the existence of fiveform.
I tested now and I replace Visual Union. The version I have is of Visual Union is from 2008.
This is exactly what I was looking for.
Best regards,
Otto

Antonio,
I have just tried to compile fiveform.prg and I am getting some linking errors. Which Libs am I missing?
Using FW 13.04 and BCC 5.82 and the standard Buildx.bat file.

James,
FWH function Execute() is only available for Harbour, as xHarbour does not support it. So please add a dummy function Execute()
Same applied to SetClsHandle() though I am afraid there is no workaround here. Just add a dummy function and see how it behaves, thanks

Well, I can get it to compile under xHarbour but it hangs.
Perhaps someone can send me a copy of the Harbour compiled fiveform.exe?

James
