General Discussion / Re: Powerbasic Website Demise
« Last post by Chris Boss on June 29, 2024, 09:30:51 pm »
I have no desire to end EZGUI's usefulness just because PB is basically dead and gone.

I am working on a custom project for a client right now which takes much of my programming time, but I may later on see if EZGUI could be modified to work with other programming languages.

EZGUI users have underestimated benefit. While Powerbasic is basically defunct and no new features on the horizon, EZGUI's feature set far exceeds anything Powerbasic could come up with in a a few years time. Most EZGUI users only use only a small subset of the EZGUI command set. By tapping into the more advanced features the "sky is the limit".

For example the pictures below use things like OpenGL, Ownerdraw Listbox, Ownerdraw Combobox and more.

General Discussion / Powerbasic Website Demise
« Last post by Chris Gaskell on June 14, 2024, 02:39:47 am »
I don't know if anyone else has noted, but the Powerbasic website is no longer accessible. For the moment the Forum section is still working.
Anyway, I was wondering if your geat EZGUIPro5 could have new headers, include files, whatever to work with PureBasic.
I realise that it would not be easy, but I'd certainly pay for the upgrade.
I use EZGUI for all form designs. It's great, and over the years I've written software for accountants, and tax calculation software, plus a few games (for my daughter's amusement.
I realise that Chris said that he was semi-retired, but I'll keep my fingers crossed.
What do others think?

There is an icon on the toolbar found on the Palette Window.

This icon toggles Autosave ON and OFF.

See attached picture.

EZGUI 5 support forum / Autosave

Somehow I have lost Autosave when compiling EZGUI code and I cannot find a way to restore it.
Could some kind member give me some advice how to recover it?

Appreciate the post.

Yes, the EZGUI designer supports third party controls, so feel free to post an EZC files for custom controls you may use.

I would like to point out that once a third party custom control is loaded into your app, EZGUI also allows you to subclass the control to allow it to benefit from the subclass engines features.

Use EZ_SubClassEx to subclass third party controls.

It amazes me how many EZGUI users continue to be very productive with it for so long.

Feel free to post any of your experiences using EZGUI here.

EZGUI currently is being used in a number of commercial applications all over the world.

Good luck with being semi-retired. I'm semi-retired but the problem is I've never been busier! EZGUI is a fantastic work, and is always my go to tool. Prior to this great tool, I always hated designing forms and the like.
Wish you well.

- Raspberry PI

For Christmas, Wifey ordered me this Orange Pi.  I am still new to the Raspberry Pi world but really liked the looks and style of this one.  PureBasic supports Raspberry Pi.

Congratulations on your well-deserved retirement.
