Well, on Windows 7/8/10 (x86), the MDIChild is shown inside a small window with scrollbars and sometimes when you press F5 and close the executable, Form1 still in task manager.

This hasn't happened to me yet.

hello. i just looked at the license of your framework. it's apparently the GPL. this license forces the developers to provide the source code of their programs. it's logical for your editor. any modification will benefit to its improvement but for the framework, it's an important constraint. do you consider to change this license? the MIT license is more adapted.

This also applies to the framework. The framework can be used as a dll. Then there is no need to open the source code.

the interest of your framework is the static compilation with a single executable. the lgpl license allows this kind of thing. that said, it's your choice. it's a shame.

Don't get me wrong, I said at the beginning of the thread that I created a library based on Nastasa Eodor's FBGUI library. This library belongs to the GPL: https://github.com/eodor/FreeBasicWinGUI

yes. i hadn't noticed. sorry. i will continue to study raylib which has an unrestricted license.

loading Chart Example.bas causes the editor to disappear but it remains in memory, I am forced to kill the editor...

This is what I check.

This is also an example of another user. Used WinAPI to measure time.

1. Could you please fixed this and could be run in OS Linux.

I'll take a look when I get home.

Hi Mr.Bekchanov,

Don't worried, I willl do a new x86 compilation and check it again. I have two real machines, each one of them running x86 and x64 windows versions, so I keep VisualFBEditor installed on two shared drives. Unfortunatelly I'm not a FB expert, like I am in a lot of anothers languages and databases, so I want a little help. In my free time I intend to do hard and serious tests with VFB to help the authors to make it the best and I've already started with Form object. Well, to do my best, all that I need is that you, as FB expert, point me to the right direction and best practices to use a multiuser database like MySQL in VFB, the reason is that I have a MySQL instance installed in all my operating systems and it will make easy my job.

Thank you in advanced.

1. Yes, This happen for me also and I report this before. Because the Close function of forms is not close a form and it is hidden a form. So maybe should rewrite code for this function.

2. If you have some examples code for MYSQL, Please post there for the beginner. Maybe later I will post a examples code

3. How to change the size of image and Font for a menu items.

[Xusinboy Bekchanov]

Well, on Windows 7/8/10 (x86), the MDIChild is shown inside a small window with scrollbars

In my opinion, it was because of the High DPI. I already fixed it:
Fixed: MDI Form on High DPI:
https://github.com/XusinboyBekchanov/My ... 85e23d267a

3. How to change the size of image and Font for a menu items.

The font for the menu cannot be changed, but you can manually draw it.
The size is taken from the image itself. If you want to resize images for all menu items, then you can connect an ImageList to MainMenu. In this ImageList, set the ImageWidth and ImageHeight size and set the ImageKey or ImageIndex for each MenuItem.

Mr.Bekchanov,

Thank you for your efforts, now it's working as expected.

PS: Mr.Avatar, about menus unfortunately the author is right, that's always been a problem,
except if you're using a 32 bit language for Windows in which the use of OCX and/or ActiveX DLL
is relatively easy. Maybe you're creative and design your own menus.

Mr.Beckchanov,

Another reason to start creating a database palette is that I have been read a lot of FB topics saying:
FB is not designate to work with databases and that's not true. You can prove otherwise. When you have
time and if it is possible, please import at the least, the SQLiteBox component from VisualFreeBasic.

Thank you in advanced.

Mr.Avatar,

Thank you for your comments.

All we have to do is trying to be collaborative with authors according to theirs interest level.
I supposed there's a lot of programmers already tired of original VB.NET.

Regards.

well, thank you for reminding me of the GPL license of VisualFBEditor/mff, which will absolutely drive me run away from VisualFBEditor/mff.
