QuickStart / Where do I start?

Hi All

I'm new uniGUI.

I have looked at the demo's and it looks very promising!

Where can I find a Tutorial or step by step guide how to use uniGUI?

Thank you in advance.

Right now, there isnt much.. but In 2 days, I finished my app.. took me just a few hours to get up and running with the demos. Biggest thing to watch out for is

 

1. Dont use Global vars.

2. Watch out how messageDLG is used.. Its a different concept, see the sample code on how they are used.. Other than that, its pretty easy

Not only MesageDlg, but every other call that stops execution in VCL delphi (ShowMessage, ShowModal, etc) won't pause in UniGUI, so the code like

 

if MyForm.ShowModal = mrOk then begin
 // do something
end;

will show a form, but won't wait for a ModalResult and just continue, so "do something" will never be executed. If you want to run a code according to ModalResult, use OnClose event of that form. It is the biggest difference with UniGUI and what caused almost a half of "bug" reports on forum in the past.
