New to Plugins???

Is there a thread or videos that show how to use Plugins?  I see some people using a rectangle?   What is that about?  Maybe someone can explain how to use all the plug ins and extensions.

 

Thanks so much

I created many plugins in PureBasic and I also provide the source code, the plugin and a Demo Pub...

Here is one example of a plugin that uses Rectangle Objects:

Hope this helps...

Wait....what does PureBasic have to do with VN???  I must be missing something important.

The plugins are written and compiled with PureBasic...

I use Claude AI and PureBasic to create my plugins...

I have PB and used to use it with a Visual UI Builder but have been looking for something easier all in one for "writing once and publishing to WIN/MAC/WEB etc for a reasonable price for a Hobbyist.  I used to use Livecode for many years but they got too big and expensive for most people and "own the apps you make".  NOPE.

I guess if you're a pro and can do all this in PB...why do you need and use VN?  Im just asking.

The main drawback with plugins is they are not "Visual".   I just wanted to make a grid of something that just put in a list of numbers and it was a huge deal with this where as most Programming languages I have used have a grid tool or at least In a text tool can choose a grid with tabs.  I know everything has limitations but other than what is built in is "hard to use". At least for me.  AI has helped me tremendously but again.  You have to tweak and tweak cause you can't see real time as you made small adjustments.

Ok, well thanks for the info.   Always appreciate anyone that responds and cares in these forums.

If you need a visual grid designer take a look at this plugin:

I too was once a Livecode user but got frustrated with their licensing scheme, and price increases...

VNWin and WNWeb are my choices for rapid app development... They are easy to use and extendable with plugins...

If you have PureBasic and a Claude AI pro or max account you can create some powerful custom plugins...

Hope this helps...

 

Have a question about installing.  I installed the plugin and looks weird.  Do I need to move the folder into a certain area as well? When I ran the sample it was not finding the DB or Graphics etc?

Thanks again

For uxElements, you need ArialVNIcons for correctly use, and VisualNEO Win 21.9.9.
