The application during the runtime
59.52 Dynamic Objects
We may create objects in the runtime and add them to windows.
Example:
load "guilib.ring"
oFormDesigner = new FormDesigner { start("oFormDesigner") }
Class FormDesigner
winToolBox winForm
aObjects = []
func start cObjectName
oApp = new qApp
winToolBox = new qWidget()
winToolBox.setWindowTitle("ToolBox")

2. Ring Documentation, Release 1.7
winToolBox.move(10,10)
winToolBox.resize(300,600)
btn = new qPushButton(winToolBox)
btn.resize(300,30)
btn.setText("Create Button")
btn.setClickEvent(cObjectName+".pCreateButton()")
btn.show()
winToolBox.show()
winForm = new qWidget() {
move(400,50)
setWindowTitle("Form Designer")
resize(600,600)
show()
}
oApp.exec()
func pCreateButton
nCount = len(aObjects)
aObjects + new MyButton(winForm)
{
nIndex = nCount + 1
setText("Button"+ nIndex)
Move(30*nIndex,30*nIndex)
resize(100,30)
show()
}
Class MyButton from qPushButton
nIndex = 0
59.53 Weight History Application
The next sample help in recording (Date, Time and Weight).
Load "guilib.ring"
MyApp = new qApp
{
$ApplicationObject = "oApp" # To be used when calling events
oApp = new App
exec()
oApp.CloseDatabase()
}
class App
cDir = currentdir() + "/"
