[lazarus] writing GTK programs

[dvortex]

Well, if you know delphi, it is fairly straight forward.

type
  TMyForm = Class(TForm)
  private
   {private stuff}
  Public
   Constructor Create(AOwner: TObject);
    MyLabel: TLabel;
    MyEditBox: TEdit;
  end;

var MyForm: TMyForm

...

Constructor Create(AOwner: TObject);
Begin
  inherited Create(AOwner);

  MyLabel := TLabel.Create;
  MyLabel.Text := "My Label";
  MyLabel.left := 20;
  MyLabel.Top := 50;
  MyLabel.Show;

  MyEditBox := TEdit.Create;
  MyEditBox.Text := "edit me";
  MyEditBox.Left := 40;
  MyEditBox.Top := 70;
  MyEditBox.Show;

end;

...

and then, in the main project file, 

begin

  CreateForm(MyForm,TMyForm);
  Application.run;

end.


and that's it.. you have a form with a edit box and a label.
(well.. this one, if it compiles, would be UGLY ! )

but as an example, you can look at some of the "test" stuff.

Ho well.. i hope this helps :o)

PS: this code is bogus, i'm pretty sure it won't compile, but if you know
delphi, this should put you on the right track...

you can also look at the IDE code. it is a GOOD example .. and you might
even find a bug in there, and fix it,... who knows :o)

Good luck.. :)
