Sorry for this "stupid" but where I can find MaxGUI documentation?


Grisu(Posted 2007) [#2]
When you start the bmx ide at the very bottom there's a link: "Tutorial" -> "MaxGui Overview".
Also I highly recommend the tutorials here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=54579 to get you started.
Like with normal bmx you can press "F1" on highlighted commands to reach the documentation.

Thanks Grisu,

The tutorials you mentioned are really great but I think that if someone wants to get the full power needs a complete documentation.
Does these tutorials covers all aspects of MaxGUI?

BTW: In "my" IDE the MaxGui Overview lies on the "Tutorials" help screen.


Grisu(Posted 2007) [#4]
You can always dig in the maxgui source files to get a list of all commands present. - But that's not quite what your're after.

From my memory the tutorial link I gave you covers all main aspects. The full power comes with what you make out of the commands given. :)

Sorry, I can't be of more help regarding your question.

P.S.: Just make sure you're using latest bmx1.26+syncmods.

If you have installed 1,26 and done a syncmods to download MaxGUI you then need to 'rebuild documentation' to get MaxGUI docs.
For tutorials then use Assari's MaxGUI tutorial.

Thanks tonyg!
That was it (I had to 'rebuild documentation')
Now I can see the MaxGUI in help


Grisu(Posted 2007) [#7]
Ahm, doesn't the ide rebuild the docs after the installation by default?!? *confused*


Moraldi(Posted 2007) [#8]
Yap, it is true that Max IDE it is not in the TOP 10... and during the upgrade process it is not mentioned to rebuild the docs

That's right but MaxGUI is downloaded after the install.

Where are the examples that come with MaxGUI documentation?
In 1.24 I have the command CreateWindow and then a tiny example of its works.
Now with 1.26 (sync, rebuild and IDE restarted) I have only the commands but no more examples.

Examples are now in a separate folder in the docs folder, you could crawl through that one.
