FireFly and WinFBX?

[Bruce Huber]

Folks, I'm just now looking at WinFBX and that got me thinking... (Danger, Will Robinson!)

Paul, I've seen your comments that you are working on a visual designer for WinFBE...

In the meantime, I was wondering if there is any one-to-one (or close... or any) relationship between the output of FireFly's generated GUI code and WinFBX that would allow me to create a GUI layout in FireFly and use that code's info as a base for coding that GUI with WinFBX?  You know, pulling out coordinates, sizes, colors, etc.  (Please remember, if that sounds dumb - I've just started looking at WinFBX).

If it's feasible, that would make it a lot easier to get everything sized and lined up correctly - versus the 'try, try again' method of coding a GUI manually from scratch.

(Does Robby the Robot need to grab Will and carry him back into the spaceship now?)  [grin]

Thanks,
Bruce

Last year I wrote a little utility that takes a FireFly form and outputs CWindow code. It is pretty primitive but it does help at last to get the form GUI up and running. I use it from time to time to quickly build a form in FireFly and then pop it over to WinFBE.

Visual Designer is coming along very well.

Cool, Paul!  That utility is exactly what I was thinking.  And I'm glad to see that your WinFBE visual designer is getting very visual!

Rabid frothing in anticipation.
