- FreeForm Lite Documentation, Copyright 1995 Shoptalk Systems
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- FreeForm makes programming easier and more fun by eliminating the
- grunt work that goes into creating window code. It also helps
- alleviate Visual BASIC envy (grin)!
-
- FreeForm is not standalone software! FreeForm v1.2 is designed
- to work with Liberty BASIC v1.2. It works with both the
- shareware and registered versions that program.
-
- How to use FreeForm Lite
- ---------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Pull down the Run menu from inside Liberty BASIC, and select
- FreeForm v1.2.
-
- FreeForm will now load and run. FreeForm is a large program and
- may take a few seconds to start up.
-
-
- Once FreeForm is running, you can begin designing your own windows
- with it. To place a control onto the window, just click on the
- button for that control. You may be asked for a label. Once the
- control is displayed, you may move and resize it to your liking.
-
-
- Tips:
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- - You can resize the window design by clicking anywhere on its
- surface. Then drag the resizing tag (located at the lower right
- of the form) to resize.
-
- - Inspect each item that you add and edit its properties.
-
- - Once your layout is complete, generate code by pulling down the
- Output menu and selecting one of the two options there. Then, after
- your window code has been generated, copy it from its window, and
- paste it into your program at an appropriate spot.
-
- - Don't forget to save your work.
