Hi. I am super new (And really bad at) Xojo. I am a VB6 refugee, and RubberViews is a component that I think I will use allot,as I was totally addicted to SSI’s resize wizard. So, I am trying to use it with xojo 2019R1. (win64 is my dev platform for now) I tried to open the demo project,and it works… Good for me, but now I am trying to add rubberviews to my own project. Here is where things go wrong.
My project is a window with one button. (start small!) the first thing I am told to do is
“Drag the RubberViews Classes folder into the project” – Ok, I am super stupid at this, but
exactly how do I do that? I coped the directory RubberViews_Classes into my folder that contains
the project: (it is called test_rb)
test_rb
|
|—RubberViews_Classes (a directory with files in it)
|
|— test_rb.xojo_binary_project (a file)
|
| --Debugtest_rb (another directory)
Is this what I was supposed to do? it did not seem to really do anything.
Then, I " Open that folder, and Drag the RubberViews class over the Window or ContainerControl. If you are trying the demo, simply drag RubberViews from the demo project onto your project."
Again, I dragged and dropped the folder in the left hand side of the
IDE, but it added a “rubberVews_Classes” entry to the tree.
Finally I added MSnameL and MSRubberViewsL as constants.
Then I added
MSnameL =“Your Name” // your name as it shows on your license
MSRubberViewsL = “ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD-ABCD” // your license
RubberViews1.Init(Self)
to the widow 1 open event handler,
and then I added
RubberViews1.SizAll(Self)
to the widow1 Resizing event.
All good right?
NO love. I get the following error on run:
window1.open, line3 RubberViews1.SizAll(Self) RubberViews1.SizAll(Self) this item does not exist
window1.resizing, line 1 RubberViews1.SizAll(Self) RubberViews1.SizAll(Self) this item does not exist
window1.resizing, line 1 RubberViews1.SizAll(Self) RubberViews1.SizAll(Self) this item does not exist
What have missed here?
M guess is thtat I am not adding the class to the project correctly, but that is probably a drag-and-drop type of thing that I have just messed up, but is very hard to describe, yet easy to see. Can someone post a you-tube video for us total lame beginners as to what to do exactly?
thank you!!
