It seems like a form builder but I'm not sure now that connects with QB64
@james2464
It is a way of easily producing a graphical interface for a QB64 program by using Windows XP-styled controls. Those who are familiar with Visual Studio will feel right at home with the event-based code. The form that is generated is written in QB64 code. InForm also has built-in GIF compatibility so you can include GIFs in your form for loading animations and such. It has a robust menu creation system (like File, View, Help, etc). Each control can have an image assigned to it for icons. A "Browse" button can have a folder icon on it to better communicate that the control will launch an open file dialog of some sort. All-in-all, if you are wanting to make GUI apps with event-driven code and buttons, you should give InForm a try. Very easy to get started with and very user-friendly. My most readily available example of an InForm program is on my GitHub: https://github.com/SpriggsySpriggs/BIN2INCLUDE
Ask me about Windows API and maybe some Linux stuff
