PureBasic 集成Form设计器的使用

PureBasic 集成Form设计器的使用

The PureBasic IDE has a very powerful integrated form designer, which allows to design easily windows and arrange gadgets on them. It supports almost all native PureBasic gadgets, menu and even status bar. A form file is a regular PureBasic file, so it can be easily modified without even open the form designer. The code parser isn't the same used by the compiler and therefore doesn't support all features, so when doing manual changes to a form file, it has to remain basic.

Contents of the "Form" menu:

New Form
Create a new empty form. It will bring automatically the form panel tool on top.

Switch Code/Design View
Change the form view, switch from design mode to code view. A form is built from code, so if a change is made directly in code view, it will be reflected visually.

Duplicate Object
Duplicate the currently selected object.

Image manager

Display all the images currently used by the form. The image and its path can be changed easily here.

Form design panel

This panel list all available gadgets. Select one, and draw directly on the form the size needed. When a gadget is selected on the form, its properties are display on this panel and can be modified here.

Using the form designer in real world projects

The form designer has been created to allow modular forms and easy maintenance. Each form has to be in its own file. It can not have two form in the file (in other words, it should never have two OpenWindow() in the same file). An event procedure can be assigned to every gadget, and will be handled automatically in the event loop. The event procedures needs to be defined somewhere in the source code. Every form file should be named with the '.pbf' extension, so it will be correctly opened by the IDE. Form files can also be added to a project.

For example, to build a program which handle two windows, we will have to create two form files and one main file. The directory structure could look like that:

  Main.pb        ; The main PureBasic file, which will includes the two forms file, and defines the events
  MainWindow.pbf ; The main window
  DateWindow.pbf ; Another window

If we assume MainWindow.pbf has two buttons ('OK' and 'Cancel') and DateWindow.pbf has one calendar gadget, here is how the main file would look like (the main file is not handled by the form designer, it has to be written manually):

  XIncludeFile "MainWindow.pbf" ; Include the first window definition
  XIncludeFile "DateWindow.pbf" ; Include the second window definition
  
  OpenMainWindow() ; Open the first window. This procedure name is always 'Open' followed by the window name
  OpenDateWindow() ; Open the second window
  
  ; The event procedures, as specified in the 'event procedure' property of each gadget
  Procedure OkButtonEvent(EventType)
    Debug "OkButton event"
  EndProcedure
  
  Procedure CancelButtonEvent(EventType)
    Debug "CancelButton event"
  EndProcedure
  
  Procedure TrainCalendarEvent(EventType)
    Debug "TrainCalendar event"
  EndProcedure
  
  ; The main event loop as usual, the only change is to call the automatically
  ; generated event procedure for each window.
  Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    
    Select EventWindow()
      Case MainWindow
        MainWindow_Events(Event) ; This procedure name is always window name followed by '_Events'
        
      Case DateWindow
        DateWindow_Events(Event)
        
    EndSelect
    
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow ; Quit on any window close

As seen, it's easy to integrate visually designed forms in a program. Indeed it's also possible to continue to create window manually, or mix the two. To have all the control over the generated code, just switch to code mode and inspect it.
例子：

main.pbf:

XIncludeFile "pp.pbf"
OpenWindow_0()
Procedure OkButtonEvent(EventType)
    Select EventType()
                 Case #PB_EventType_LeftClick        : Debug "Click with left mouse button"
                 Case #PB_EventType_RightClick       : Debug "Click with right mouse button"
                 Case #PB_EventType_LeftDoubleClick  : Debug "Double-click with left mouse button"
                 Case #PB_EventType_RightDoubleClick : Debug "Double-click with right mouse button"
               EndSelect
  EndProcedure
 Procedure PButtonEvent(EventType)
    Debug "pkButton event"
  EndProcedure 
Repeat
    Event = WaitWindowEvent()
    
    Select EventWindow()
      Case Window_0  
        Select EventGadget()
          Case  Button_0
            OkButtonEvent(EventType)
          Case  Button_1 
            PButtonEvent(EventType)
        EndSelect    
        
    EndSelect
    
  Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow ; Quit on any window close

pp.pb:

Global Window_0

Global Button_0, Button_1


Procedure OpenWindow_0()
  Window_0 = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 600, 400, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_Tool | #PB_Window_BorderLess)
  Button_0 = ButtonGadget(#PB_Any, 20, 350, 110, 30, "")
  Button_1 = ButtonGadget(#PB_Any, 220, 310, 120, 30, "")
EndProcedure

Procedure Window_0_Events(event)
  Select event
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      ProcedureReturn #False

    Case #PB_Event_Menu
      Select EventMenu()
      EndSelect

    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      Select EventGadget()
      EndSelect
  EndSelect
  ProcedureReturn #True
EndProcedure
