Editing forms

[deneve]

Hi

It's a while since I have done any LB programming but now have to get back down to it with reworking and improving a project I coded in the past.

I'd like to know if I can somehow copy the gui code from the original program and somehow put it into LBW so that I can edit the form. As it is it seems that I will have to start the form all over again. For some reason I did keep the original form but unfortunately I made all sorts of mods after creating the code by changing the code rather than the form and repasting the new form code into the program as I went along.

Maybe I'm missing something really obvious but is this how to work? If so then it means that any gui changes must always be done on the form in LBW first, then you re generate the new code
and paste it back into the program to put them into effect.

I just want to make sure I'm doing it as efficiently as possible.

I do like working with LBW, though I am not very experienced at coding it has been a great help.



Many thanks in anticipation.

You are correct. The GUI designer in LBW creates the skeleton code for a GUI. It is not like Visual Basic or other languages in which changes to the form are automatically changed in the code and vice versa.

There is currently no way to extract form information from a code page, so yes, you are doing it as efficiently as possible.
