Here is a challenge, B+: remember the easter egg thread? dbox did a QBJS GUI mod, with sliders and all, of the universal egg equation plotter. I remember you were contemplating translating it to JB with its GUI features -- such task should be relatively quick and easy given the JB GUI example code to go off. See how quick and easy is it to do in B+ vs and I'd be interested in it for other waveform plotting -- much like your own graphing calculator
Fellippes had lots of nice refinements like different Fonts for all controls that took a font and multiple control alignments a snazzy Properties Dialogue, I could go on...
The real test for any GUI is how many others can pick up on it and use it. So far no takers here ;(
That is nice challenge @vince I will start work on it today. I have already said sliders are just special case of Picture Box, draw a line and then a little knob where you want it on the line, progress bars are similar. PS that challenge may have been in the back of my mind when I took up doing GUI, so thanks for that reminder.
I've been debating a Global Mouse X, Y Up and Down, for drag and drop sliding. But there is a way easier way to just click on the control where you want the knob?
