FireFly - Advice

Post by Gablea »

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to work out how to migrate my Windows .net application to FireFly (FreeBASIC Compiler)

My Question is this how do I run a start up module BEFORE any forms are shown? I have looked into the project properties but all it allows me
to select is the frmbackground (midi form) but I want to display a splash frm while the program is loading.

Also how do i remove the control box , Minimize, Maximize and the red X on the forms?

Hi Gablea,

you can use the FF_WinMain function (found in FireFly Workspace/Explorer) to do things before the Main Form is shown.

The WindowsDecorations can be found in the Properties of the form. Click in (WindowStyles) and then the Button [...]

I think that Gablea has already asked these questions over on the Firefly forum and I think he has the answers now. (I think).
