InForm Question

[Rich]

I am confused as to where to place my code after I have created and a form in Inform. There seems to be many places to put the code. Is there a template available to show what control subroutine (in QB64) relates to a specific control. I hope this makes some sense.

Hi Rich
in my little experience I can affirm that Inform follows the model of event programming....
so
1.you must divide your program in the events that happen
2. then you can decide where write and what  write

here just a dummy example/demonstration

Code: QB64: [Select]

1. ': This program uses
2. ': InForm - GUI library for QB64 - v1.1
3. ': Fellippe Heitor, 2016-2019 - fellippe@qb64.org - @fellippeheitor

As TempodiBasic exemplified, the .bas file that InForm saves is your template. Each SUB is an event (Click, OnLoad, ValueChanged, etc) and in each sub you’ll find your controls’ name to write code for.

Code: QB64: [Select]

1.  SUB __UI_Click (id AS LONG)
2.     SELECT CASE id
3.         CASE control1
4.                  'Enter code here for when control1 is clicked
5.         CASE control2
6.                  'Enter code here for when control2 is clicked
7.         CASE control3
8.                  'Enter code here for when control3 is clicked and etc
9.     END SELECT
10. END SUB
