PureBasic Forums - English

Hello Group,

Is there a simple tutorial on how to use the form designer with a Mac? I have searched Youtube, but the only english video I find is for the PC and the designer doesn't appear to have the same functionality or layout.

Ideally, I'd love to see a sample with a button and a canvas gadget as an example.

Best regards

Andrew

actually the Form Designer is virtually the same on all three OS, i believe they're all compiled from the same Purebasic source!

Keya is right.
If it looks a lot different, you probably found a tutorial for an older version of PureBasic.
I did see a recent one in german on youtube but not an english one unfortunately.

Ok, then rephrasing my request. Does anyone have a quick and dirty, step by step tutorial of how to use the form designer.

I'm not having any luck at the moment.

Even a simple project file showing the form file and the events code would greatly help.

Regards

Perhaps you could take a look at this; it's a walkthrough based on the Windows IDE, which includes a section on using the form designer at the end.
