Hey there. Is it possible that anybody from the Xojo could give away small parts of the Xojo source code. If so please could I have the source code for the about dialog in Xojo. Thanks
The about dialog? What (besides the license registration part) about it seems difficult to create on your own? And there’s no indication at all that Xojo is in the business of open-sourcing their products. So… if you’re obviously trolling (hard to tell, but from this post and the one you just previously posted), I… and I’m assuming most others here… aren’t going to take you seriously.
Open source doesn’t mean free, it simply means being given the ability to improve upon something and there’s no reason why Xojo can’t do that regardless of their “taking food from the mouths of their children” claims about it - they can open source it under their own terms.
Subclassing objects allows for this to some degree, but you could do so much more with xojo if they opened up some of their internals. Subclassing wouldn’t be too bad if they allowed some of the hidden properties available - notably some handles etc. I’ve had to basically re-implement some of their classes from scratch as a result and there’s really no point in subclassing and having an bloated object with duplicated code - mine + their hidden code…
That said, the about dialog is nothing but a window that is opened up from a menu with standard controls within it. So unless you’re after the app updater you’re best off just reading the guide and going through the example projects.
