Inform for QB64pe Script fix

[cage]

Inform now no longer works with QB64pe. I found the website that suppose to have the fix for it, but I am unable to download it.  Seems there is some java script involved that my browser refuses to allow.  Is there any way I can get that script so I can fix Inform so it will work?

Did you try the github link? https://github.com/FellippeHeitor/InForm/releases

Github sucks for some reason. My Firefox browser would have to be updated to get the download link to appear, but my MS Edge can access it.

If there is some other site you tried downloading form, what site?

Oh, an if you are taking about downloading a JavaScript, but your browser won't allow it, did you try typing and entering the name of the JavaScript in the browser URL input line? On a lot of sites the script will just show. You can also try to right click the webpage , select "view source" and hunt for the name and folder in the html code.

The only site that has the script for QB64pe is at https://isstoyou.com/qb64/index.html.  The java script is isstoyou and like I said both of my browsers refuse to run that java script.  Would be nice if someone could post that on the forum.

So I'm guessing this is to get InForm to work on QB64PE running on a Linux system? @Fifi would probably be our member who is most familiar with Inform on Linux. Luke used to do most of the Linux related developing, but has retired from the project, along with "Fell," who developed Inform. As for our forum, we haven't devoted any development resources to Inform, as far as I'm aware, and we don't have any support pages for InForm in the boards. It would be up to Steve to make any decisions about such content.

This evening I figured out why it no longer works.  It wants to load the font list from my system but can't.  I have temporarily removed the font loading and tested it.  It loaded just fine and the only drawback now is that I have to specify manually the font that I want to use.  I will be working on the font problem, but from what I can tell it searches the system for Windows, Mac and Linux fonts.

Would anyone mind describing what "InForm" is? Just curious and Google was not helpful at all.

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

That sounds amazing - thank you for explaining. I'm going to try this out.

Hi Cage,
There is absolutely no "java'" script on any of my web sites since I hate this cripled pseudo compiled language.
What you receive is an Apache server error message from an old site I don't maintain regularly (I should).
BTW, you can access to the right address below that points to my personnal home web server (on an iMac with a decent internet link).
So, you can get my multi lingual bash installation script for QB64PE (latest version 3.3.0) plus InForm-pe (a fork of the latest original InForm I made just to communicate back and forth with QB64PE) here: Multi lingual installation Bash script
When using my Bash installation script, you can get dedicated icons for both QB64PE, InForm-pe and the qb64pe folder directly on your desktop plus the ability to call QB64PE from any terminal session without being obliged to go into the QB64PE folder (as you would with any standard compiler such as gcc) to launch compilation commands such as:

Code: (Select All)

qb64pe -x -q /my_source-folder/my-program.bas -o /my_execution_folder/my-executable

Note: On my dedicated to the QB64 language web page, you can also still get the original QB64 v 2.0.2 and its relevant InForm tool.
Hope you like my multi lingual installation script and enjoy both QB64PE v 3.3.0 and InForm-pe v 1.3.
Cheers.
Fifi

Fifi, I had the same problem that I had when you posted that site a month or two ago.  Says Site Not Found. Just thought I would let you know.  Thank you for your reply though.
