Gambas ONE

Answering my own question here.

Just read this in the Gambas beginers guide...

"The Gambas
archiver transforms the entire project directory structure into a standalone
executable."

Now i did not know that , better clear everything out of the folder that's not code i guess :-\

So here's me scenario... That GForm app i've made i didn't want/need the cumbersome .gambas on the end of it so i rename it to just GForm. Then... When i recompile the GForm.gambas exe while the GForm exe exists in the folder my new exe becomes larger ??? When i say larger it got up to 26mb , just t...

Stock Icons anyone? So i found my large file size issue was not because of the stock icons component added. Then removed. So I've added it again :) Now if you type GForm geticons you get this...

Gave it a home on git. https://github.com/BruceSteers/GForm Here's the current arg list , my how it's grown..... currently supported objects are...

Here's an update... Arguments are.... (Runtime args when launching GForm) title="Title for window top" width=<n> , manually define a window width box , makes a Horizontal box, subsequent objects go in the box until unboxed unbox , finishes the box button="name|text|close" , makes...
