Hallo

I have created an Iup testsetup Eu4.1 32bit+Iup+Editor.

Based on ghaberek Editor-0.1b-Win32.zip download.

It's all his and _tom's work i just hacked it to make it work the way i like it.

Also tested under win xp vm, and it works.

I added in the html docs, and the samples from the old install, and they added 2Mb to the zip size. Have to add in eu.cfgs to get the old demos to work from the editor, and some of the DOS samples no longer work ((std\dos has been dropped, and no longer supported). They add some understaning of the eu language.

The editor works great from the batch file - no setting up include variables or anything, and the loaded files work straight from that too - good job.

The editor could do with being drag and drop, and having a run with command line arguments option too.

It would be useful to have iup docs in there, but am having difficulty finding some at the moment (realise that are no EUiup docs as yet)

Well done.

I'm trying a new approach to documenting IUP.

I have a text file that looks like:

[[[ 
name = IupLabel 
class = element  
key = $IupLabel $iuplabel 
description = Creates a label interface element, which displays a separator, a text, or an image. 
include = iup.e 
namespace = iup 
signature = public function IupLabel(object title = NULL) 
creation = title: Text to be shown on the label. It can be NULL. It will set the TITLE attribute. 
returns = the identifier of the created element, or NULL if an error occurs. 
attribute = 
 
<<ACTIVE>> 
 
<<ALIGNMENT>> 
 
<<BGCOLOR>> 
 
<<DROPFILESTARGET>> 
 
<<ELLIPSIS>> 
 
<<FGCOLOR>> 
 
<<IMAGE>> 
 
<<IMINACTIVE>> 
 
<<MARKUP>> 
 
<<PADDING>> 
 
<<SEPARATOR>> 
 
<<TITLE>> 
 
<<WORDWRAP>> 
 
;FONT | EXPAND | SCREENPOSITION | POSITION | MINSIZE | MAXSIZE | WID | TIP | SIZE | RASTERIZE | ZORDER | VISIBLE: also accepted. 
 
Drag & Drop attributes and callbacks are supported. 
 
callback = 
<<BUTTON_CB>> 
 
<<DROPFILES_CB>> 
 
; MAP_CB | UNMAP_CB | DESTROY_CB | ENTERWINDOW_CB | LEAVEWINDOW_CB: common callbacks are supported. 
notes = Labels with images, texts or line separator can not change its behavior after mapped. But after map the image can be changed for another image, and the text for another text. 
note = 
The name ##label## is a keyword in Euphoria. 
example = 
<eucode> 
include iup/iup.e 
IupOpen(NULL) 
atom tag = IupLabel("hello") 
atom dlg = IupDialog(tag) 
IupShow(dlg) IupMainLoop() IupClose() 
</eucode> 
example = 
<eucode> 
include iup/iup.e 
IupOpen(NULL) 
 
atom lbl = IupLabel("Hello") 
atom dlg = IupDialog( lbl ) 
 
IupShow(dlg) IupMainLoop() IupClose() 
</eucode> 
example = 
<eucode> 
include iup/iup.e 
IupOpen(NULL) 
 
atom lbl1 = IupLabel("Hello") 
atom lbl2 = IupLabel("Open") 
atom lbl3 = IupLabel("Euphoria") 
 
atom vbox = IupVbox({ lbl1, lbl2, lbl3 }) 
atom dlg = IupDialog( vbox ) 
        IupSetAttribute(dlg, "SIZE", "100" ) 
 
IupShow(dlg) IupMainLoop() IupClose() 
</eucode> 
example = 
<eucode> 
include iup/iup.e 
IupOpen(NULL) 
 
atom lbl1 = IupLabel("Hello") 
            IupSetAttribute(lbl1, "FGCOLOR", "255 0 0" ) 
atom lbl2 = IupLabel() 
            IupSetAttribute(lbl2, "SEPARATOR", "HORIZONTAL" ) 
atom lbl3 = IupLabel("Euphoria") 
            IupSetAttribute(lbl3, "PADDING", "5x5") 
 
atom vbox = IupVbox({ lbl1, lbl2, lbl3, $ }) 
atom dlg = IupDialog( vbox ) 
        IupSetAttribute(dlg, "SIZE", "100" ) 
 
IupShow(dlg) IupMainLoop() IupClose() 
</eucode> 
note = 
? alignment not working ?

The html version of this file is:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4wfRhusHmUbQ1Q5UC1hTXo4WW8/view?usp=sharing

The idea is that from a database I can sort, separate widgets from constants, and save on redundant typing, make searching easier, ...

The database could even be merged with the IUP souce-code in the traditional Eudoc-Creole fashion.

I'm cutting references to Lua, C, and LED. I'm adding examples.

This all needs lots of cleanup so I haven't uploaded this to the IUP repo yet.

I don't know if Doxygen is worthwhile. I'd like to stick to Euphoria tools right now.

I have also worked on the two IUP tutorials provided by IUP.

IUP needs some sensible defaults.

For example:

I discovered that IupOpen( argc, argv ) simplifies to IupOpen(NULL). Now, when IupOpen() works, I will edit all of the working examples. (Lots of typing ahead.)

IupSetAttribute( dialog, "SIZE", "200x100" ) --okay 
IupSetAttribute( dialog, "SiZE", "200x100" ) -- not okay lower case 'i' 

I agree, the IUP syntax needs improvement. I have tried a few small experiments in making a wrapper to the IUP wrapper. For example a "create()" function would make using the gui easier. And I am tired of typing Iup in front of names.

This creates circular thinking. Is IUP the "best" choice? If we could find a maintainer for wxWidgets would that work better? Why dosen't everyone just use euGTK? When will REDY be finished?

That said, the GUI committee has got us thinking--which is very valuable.

Good idea. I had considered this approach when trying to re-wrap wxWidgets.

All in due time, of course. But the sooner you start using the repo, the sooner you can track your changes.

I wasn't planning to use Doxygen directly. I was just going to harvest the existing documentation from the source code, which is already in Doxygen format.

Providing default parameters is currently a function of the wrapper and that process is pretty ugly right now.

What we really need then, is a smarter wrapping utility that can update the database when things have been added/removed/updated.

I don't have a road map because it keeps changing. I am single-handedly working to get Redy to the point where there is a clear road map, usable release, and good documentation so others can not only use it, but be able to help develop it.

I am currently working on a way to run redy programs from source using whatever version of euphoria and redylib is needed. I'm also working on the specification for RedyCode projects. I'm almost finished, then I will work on releasing an alpha version of RedyCode in the next few weeks.

I understand Redy probably isn't the best candidate for an officially supported GUI right now. It is an ambitious project that could take another year or two to really compete with other widget toolkits. However, it is complete enough to be useful if you know how to use it (unfortunately, no one does because of lack of documentation).

Just so everyone understands, RedyCode is not going to be just another euphoria editor. It will be very specialized. You could compare it to the IDE for Visual Basic, perhaps. It will be closely integrated into the Redy environment and do lots of tricks to help you build code in a semi-automatic context-sensitive way. Theoretically, it will be extremely easy to use, but it really won't be suited for writing programs that use other GUI libraries or text console programs.

I have been gone for about 6 years. I was a devoted user of Judith's IDE and was very sad to hear about her passing. I'm sorry to see that Jeremy and a few other regulars at that time are MIA. But happy to see that the community is still thriving.

My developer skills are non-existent.

I'm not even an advanced user, with the definitions from http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/129178.wc

But I did put together a few euphoria programs of relatively small size in 2008 that survive to this day in production environments.

So, I'd like to think I'm not a complete newb and I could just download the euiup.zip file, figure out where to place the resulting unpacked euiup folder, fire up one of the *.ex programs in the euiup\samples\ folder and see what there is to see. No joy.

Since I'm not a developer, I can't precisely determine what is going wrong. About the best I can do is describe what I see and hope that somebody else can spot the problem.

Following the above methodology I decided to try filedlg.ex.

After clicking on it, it errors out and my ex.err file indicates:

c_proc/c_func: bad routine number (-1) in line 260 of iup.e

260 is: atom result = c_func( xIupOpen, {argc,p_argv} )

xIupOpen is defined on line 55 as:

55 is: xIupOpen = define_c_func( iup, "+IupOpen", {C_POINTER,C_POINTER}, C_INT )

As a user and not a developer this is where I freeze.

Can anybody spot what might be the problem from the above?

I also tried invoking filedlg.ex from the command line where the results were identical whether or not I added a third element to the command_line() variable (e.g., >"c:\...\eu405\bin\eui.exe" "C:\...\euiup\samples\filedlg.ex" "*.exe")

Of course, I'd like to suggest that when a new package is published that it be accompanied by a small readme file that points the downloader in the direction of how the environment needs to be configured and where the downloaded files should be placed.

I find it interesting that newphil82 resurrected the "Is Euphoria ever going to be newbie-friendly?" thread after it being dormant for nearly a 1/2 year at the same time I was struggling with this issue. It seems my suggestion might be better placed in that thread.

Happy holidays to all.

Hi

I've taken the std/iup includes, updated machine.e, filesys.e and pipeio.e on my Linux box, and all but one of the euiup examples work on that now. I had to delete the + from each of the c_proc/func calls too. The sample that doesn't work is gridbox.ex, but the Apprentice was on, and I had to get home.

As a proof of concept, very little work is required to get cross platform.

Cheers

Chris

Unzip the file anywhere. 
Run Editor.bat 
Have fun 

Thanks to both of you. I can now get it to work.

I'd suggest that the readme might be

Unzip the file anywhere. 
Run Editor.bat 
File|Open any .ex file in the Samples folder. 
If you make any changes, be sure to save the .ex file before running or binding 
Run (F5; or Alt-R-R)  
If you want to bind the program, save it to the bindtest folder first, then bind the program (F7; or Alt-R-B) 
Have fun 

And, as the top of my list to see added to the Editor would be a find function (cntl-F) and a find/replace (cntl-H). Just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks again

Hallo

thank you for testing this.

But please point Bugreports and sugestions for the Editor and the Iup wrapper to Gregory Haberek (ghaberek).
Again this is NOT my work i just put it togheter.(If there is an update to euiup.zip i will add your readme)

see : https://bitbucket.org/ghaberek/editor/overview

Interesting to see that IUP has potential on Phix.

IUP comes with examples written in 'c'. About half of them could be converted to Euphoria using simple cut and paste. The result is ugly so I left the extension as .c (Euphoria runs with any extension). The .c extension remains as a warning.

I discovered that FB reader reads chm files but without the refinement of a windows reader. It remains difficult to create a chm file under Linux.

I don't recognize:

• the syntax "{} = f()"?
• does Phix tolerate ';' line endings?

The original IUP docs are full of C, LED, and Lua references which are noise and do not help with understanding how IUP works. I'm hacking out these references and building a neutral database. From the database it should be possible to create documentation in any format.

When is Linux Phix coming out?

Hi

Not a complaint, an observation

euiup requires eui 4.1 development (the version included in the test setup. I have 4.05, and installing the euiup test setup into that, and various flavours of iup dlls into various places , caused the test programs to stop at iupshow() (interestingly alrm.ex, which doesn't use iupshow(). More testinga and swapping, and overwriting includes, bins and dlls proved that it's eui 4.05 that will not run with the iup dlls, but 4.1 will.

Still need that initial version check before a program will run

if version is <= 4.1.0 then stop and display message disable me to run without error checking.

Cheers

Euphoria Interpreter v4.0.6 development 
   Windows, Using System Memory 
   Revision Date: 2015-12-13 01:17:57, Id: 6400:cbee492464f0 
 
ERROR: Must specify the file to be interpreted on the command line 

I have not used 4.0 in a while and I thought I had covered all of the existing compatibility problems.

I can make accommodations for Euphoria 4.0 using ifdef blocks. I created an issue for this: IUP not compatible with Euphoria 4.0.

I will make this change before the next release. Hoping to do that soon but the holiday season has had me pretty busy lately.
