I haven't found a comparison of the different GUI builders for PB/DLL, so I'm checking them out myself. I intend to check out PB's commercial PowerGen, EZGUI 2.0, Jules Marchildon's Visual Forms Editor, Visual MetaFourGL, and JC Fuller's PWinADP.
I started with PGen, but I'm confused about to work with it
1. The venerable MS Dialog Editor creates two files (.DLG in ASCII, .RES in binary).
With File | New | Single Dialog, PGen expects an .RC file, but inputing a .DLG works. File | New | Application Shell, however, chokes with "Missing dialog CLASS in resource file."
What is the difference between those two options? According to the RC.HLP file, it appears that a "script file" is really the .DLG resource file with extra stuff What do I need to add for PGen to be happy and well?
2. I'm using PGen 1.0 that came out over 2 years ago. Did PowerBasic give up developing this tool, and if yes, any recommendation on the alternatives above?
Any info appreciated
