SRL Archive - RS3 Help

Can anyone point me to an updated form tutorial? I just want to get a general understanding of them and the ability to make a basic one for a script I am working on. I tried compiling an example from this tutorial but I got this:

Exception in Script: Unknown declaration "Caption" at line 23, column 7

Obviously the way they are made has changed somehow. I even tried the generated code from the form designer and that didn't work.

That should work for you :)

No it does not.

Foundry means a 'GUI' form, not a player Form.
Looking for the solution as wel.

ThreadSafeCall is also not being recognised.

Totally Broken?

Sorry I can't give you much but here is a basic form for lape:

var
  mainForm: TForm;

procedure startform; native;
begin
  mainForm.init(nil);
  with mainForm do
  begin
    setWidth(546);
    setHeight(200);
    setCaption('Hello World');
    setPosition(poScreenCenter);
  end;
  mainForm.showModal();
  mainForm.free();
end;

begin
   sync(startform);
end. 

It's best to follow https://github.com/SRL/SRL-6/blob/master/lib/misc/srlplayerform.simba as to how all the form stuff is added

Thanks for the info, going to take a look right away!

Was looking at the DTM editor.sex and thats written in Pascall.

edit:
The CTR + Spacebar Shows little when comparing to the previous simba.
That always showed what was possible at that line.
really handy in the 'do begin', it would show how to set Caption, Height, etc….

  with DsgnForm do
    begin
      Caption:='DsgnForm';
      Left:=174;
      Top:=302;
      Width:=320;
      Height:=240;
      Font.Name:=default;
      Font.Color:=clDefault;
      Font.Size:=0;
  end;

Yeah, this is what I was looking for. I'm looking into it now, thanks!

EDIT: What exactly does setOnClick for the TButtons? I put a procedure in there just like the SRL player form has it but it doesn't call it when I click.

program face;
var
  mainForm: TForm;
  memo: TMemo;
  cool: TEdit;
  coolbutton: TButton;

procedure applystuff(sender: TObject); native;
begin
  writeLn('got here...');
  writeLn(cool.getText());
end;

procedure startform; native;
begin
  mainForm.init(nil);
  with mainForm do
  begin
    setWidth(400);
    setHeight(600);
    setCaption('Hello World');
    setPosition(poScreenCenter);
  end;
  memo.init(mainForm);
  with memo do
  begin
    setParent(mainForm);
    setLeft(mainform.getLeft() + 9);
    setTop(100);
    setWidth(mainForm.getWidth() - 18);
    setHeight(100);
    setScrollBars(ssAutoBoth);
  end;
  cool.init(mainform);
  with cool do
  begin
    setParent(mainform);
    setLeft(10);
    setTop(10);
    setHeight(20);
    setWidth(mainForm.getWidth() - 18);
  end;
  coolbutton.init(mainForm);
  with coolbutton do
  begin
    setParent(mainForm);
    setLeft(cool.getLeft() + 10);
    setTop(cool.getTop() + 27);
    setHeight(cool.getHeight());
    setWidth(45);
    setCaption('no');
    setOnClick(applystuff);
  end;
  mainForm.showModal();
  mainForm.free();
end;

begin
   sync(startform);
end.                            

Writeln() doesn't write to the Simba debug box when a form is open (that's why the SRL Player form has a debug box at the bottom). If you open the Simba console you'll see it written there.

Thanks, I was wondering why it had its own debug box.

Is there some help for this?
I would like to know all the functions of the variabels ( The prev. simba supported this )
as you can see at the following picture: [ATTACH=CONFIG]22768[/ATTACH]
I entered the Variable then a '.' and it magically pops up.

Codehints aren't supported in Lape, but you can view the source files here. If you find the right parts of the files, they list different form component methods.

Yea Lape forms are pretty basic, You also can't use any MML stuff which is a pain.

I don't blame him for not wanting to update to SRL-6. It is just about impossible with the lack of auto complete and absolutely zero documentation.

The lack of auto complete is the biggest issue. You don't really need much documentation if you have auto complete.

Thanks for showing the source file, i've already found that one but still missing parts in that file.
Not all Eventlisteners are defined, 'Onclick'
Some are listed but cant find them in simba : 'BorderStyle'


Is there a Source of the Tform Class ?

SRL-6 has its own doc @ http://docs.villavu.com/srl-6/

Code hints are purely based of lape (at-least what i've been told), the decision to switch (for srl-6) to lape was a couple years ago and this is when lape was being dev'd pretty much every week. But now lape hasn't been touched in like a year because @nielsie95 doesn't have the time / I dont think deving a interpreter is remotely close to fun. :p

I recently did a commit to Simba one of them things being adding BorderStyle, that is why you you can see it in the source, but it isn't actually in the public Simba version.
