Main menu
The main menu has:
-
Change Working Directory. New directories should be created before entering foxGUIb. See
the first program
for a simple example.
However, for more serious programs, the following directory structure should be used:
project
source (put your code, and generated .rb files here)
gui (put generated layout files here (.pp, .rbin)
icons (put image icons here (.jpg, .png etc)
When you link a widget to an icon (by the img = property, foxGUIb expects an icons
directory to be used.
-
New MainWindow - create a top-level window. See
the first program for an example.
-
New DialogBox - creates a pop-up dialog box. See Dialogs for details.
-
Save Layout - saves the layout to a file, in text format (pp) or binary for speed of loading (rbin).
Rbin is recommended, because pp has a limit on the amount of nesting it can handle.
See
the first program for an example.
-
Save Layout As - allows the choice of file name for the layout file.
-
Close Layout - closes the current layout
-
Exit
If you don't explicitly save the layout, it is saved automatically in an 'un-named' file.
