Hello all,
I just downloaded and purchased a Desktop license for Xojo last night. I was looking at it back in 2012 when it was RealBasic, and even developed a couple of apps with it. I am experiencing some very strange things while attempting to work through the book on introduction to programming with Xojo.
In the first step of performing the Hello World, I add a button to the main form of the program, and the main form disappears from view. I played around with it for a while and finally got it to re-appear, when I added a Bevel Button, and after I had added a Cancel and an OK button to no avail. The Bevel Button shows up on the form, but none of the other three buttons (HelloButton, OkButton, CancelButton) are visible, even when selected. In fact the resize handles show where it is and it’s size, but surround a blank gray area.
In my Windows 8.1 VirtualBox VM, I have no such issues. But the whole point is to be NOT using Windows… I’m looking to get rid of Windows, not rely on yet another version of it. (I’m already forced by my job to use Windows XP Pro to get my work done.)
Obviously, this makes Xojo unusuable unless I can get this resolved. I’m using PCLinuxOS, and the whole point of Xojo was to allow me to develop in Linux using a familiar interface and reasonably easy to transition to language, coming from VB6 back in the day.
Could this be a video driver issue? Is anyone else using Xojo in Linux having similar issues? This is the specs I have listed for Linux about my video card and driver:
