As long as we are exploring IDE things, I have some questions.
Forgive me if this should be obvious to anyone who has spent more than 10 min on
dabo, but maybe my naivety will have a fresh perspective. (aka, I'm lazy and want
to be spoon fed the answers.)
Using http://dabo.leafe.com/wiki/DemoScreenshots "Criteria selection page
(Win32):" as an example, can someone explain how the controls are stored in A) the
source of that form, B) at runtime when that form is live.
I would hope this is true:
A) is some sort of file.
B) is in memory.
I am just looking for some sort of spec.
In VFP,the answers would be:
A) A DBF/SCX/VCX, see the /docs dir for the spec. or maybe a PRG of either
@SAY/GETs or a class def with .top=30 .left=50 .caption="city".
B) top secret stuff that even people with access to the VFP source code may not
understand.
It is really the B) question I am interested in, because I think this can be
leveraged when making a GUI IDE.
