WINDOW PROPERTIES

Right clicking in the gui window, or clicking the properties button in the gui toolbox will open the Window Properites Dialog. If no property choices are made, default properties will be used when generating code.

The Caption (Window Title) may be changed.

The Window Type may be specified. Plain Window is the default type, but Dialog and Graphics Windows are possible also.

The Window Handle may be specified. The default is #main.

The font face for all controls on a window may be chosen. The default is MS Sans Serif.

The width and height of the window (in pixels) may be changed.

Default colors may be chosen. They include

ForegroundColor$ - the text color for all controls

BackgroundColor$ - background color for window and fill for graphics windows

There are checkboxes to indicate whether a window will have a Menu, a Liberty BASIC Timer, an API-created StatusBar control and API-created Tooltips when code is generated. If the Statusbar checkbox is checked, the textbox for Statusbar Text is enabled. Enter the desired text in this box.

When the window GUI, or Graphical User Interface is complete, click the compile button to activate code generation.
