It is a fork of [InForm](https://github.com/FellippeHeitor/InForm), authored by [Fellippe Heitor](https://github.com/FellippeHeitor).\n\nInForm-PE's main goal is to generate *event-driven* QB64-PE applications. This means that you design a graphical user interface with interactive controls and then write the code to respond to such controls once they are manipulated.\n\n## FEATURES\n\n- WYSIWYG interface designer\n- Event-driven application design\n- Works on Windows, Linux \u0026 macOS\n- Everything is statically linked (no shared library dependencies)\n\n## DOCUMENTATION\n\n- [Wiki](https://github.com/a740g/InForm-PE/wiki)\n- [Tutorial](https://raw.githack.com/a740g/InForm-PE/refs/heads/master/docs/tutorial/index.html)\n- [INI-Manager](docs/INI-Manager.md)\n- [GIFPlay](docs/GIFPlay.md)\n\n## USAGE\n\nInstall InForm-PE and QB64-PE side-by-side in their own directories. There is no need to copy InForm-PE files to the QB64-PE directory.\n\n\u003e The following directory setup is recommended\n\n```text\n\u003csome-drive-or-directory\u003e\n    |\n    |-------\u003cInForm-PE\u003e\n    |           |\n    |           |-------\u003cUiEditor[.exe]\u003e\n    |\n    |-------\u003cQB64pe\u003e\n                |\n                |-------\u003cqb64pe[.exe]\u003e\n```\n\nAssuming your setup is like the above, do the following:\n\n- Open Terminal and change to the InForm-PE directory using an appropriate OS command\n- Run `setup_inform_lnx.sh`, `setup_inform_mac.command` or `setup_inform_win.cmd` depending on the OS you are on. This will run make with the correct parameters. If the build fails, ensure QB64-PE is installed in the **QB64pe** directory (next to the InForm-PE directory). If QB64-PE is installed elsewhere, then edit the setup scripts to change the location\n- Once InForm-PE is compiled, you will find the UiEditor[.exe] executable in the InForm-PE directory\n- Run UiEditor[.exe] to start designing your forms\n- After your form looks the way you want it to, click **File \u003e Save** to export its contents and generate a **.bas** source file. Two files are exported:\n  - **.frm** - the generated form in QB64-PE code. This can be loaded back into InForm-PE's designer or manually edited in QB64-PE or any text editor later, if you want to adjust fine details\n  - **.bas** - the actual program you will add your code to\n\n***You add code to respond to events.***\n\n- *Click*\n- *MouseEnter/MouseLeave* (hover)\n- *FocusIn/FocusOut*\n- *MouseDown/MouseUp* (events preceding a Click)\n- *KeyPress*\n- *TextChanged* (for text box controls)\n- *ValueChanged* (for track bars, lists and dropdown lists)\n\n***There are also events that occur in specific moments, to which you can respond/add code.***\n\n- *BeforeInit*, triggered just before the form is shown.\n- *OnLoad*, triggered right after the form is first shown.\n- *BeforeUpdateDisplay*, triggered every time the form is about to be repainted.\n- *BeforeUnload*, triggered when the user tries to close the program, either via clicking the window's X button, right click in the task bar -\u003e Close or with Alt+F4 (Windows only).\n- *FormResized*, triggered when a form with the CanResize property is resized at runtime.\n\n***IMPORTANT: The following files must be copied to your project directory for it to compile.***\n\n```text\nInForm/InForm.bi\nInForm/InForm.ui\nInForm/InFormCommon.bi\nInForm/InFormVersion.bi\nInForm/xp.uitheme\nInForm/extensions/*.*\n```\n\n## EXAMPLES\n\n| Name | Author |\n|------|-------------|\n| 21-game | TempodiBasic |\n| Bin2Include | Zachary Spriggs |\n| Bubble-Universe | Samuel Gomes |\n| Calculator | Terry Ritchie |\n| ClickTheVoid | Fellippe Heitor |\n| ClockPatience | Richard Notley |\n| DuckShoot | Richard Notley |\n| ebacCalculator | George McGinn |\n| EncryptDecrypt | TempodiBasic |\n| Fahrenheit-Celsius | Richard Notley |\n| Fireworks2 | Fellippe Heitor |\n| GIFPlaySample | Fellippe Heitor |\n| GravitationSimulation | Richard Notley |\n| InFormPaint | Fellippe Heitor |\n| InsideOutsideTriangle |  Richard Notley |\n| Lander1 | B+ |\n| Lander2 | B+ |\n| Mahjong | Richard Notley |\n| MasterMindGuessTheSequence | TempodiBasic |\n| Pelmanism | Richard Notley |\n| PictureGrid | Richard Notley |\n| PlayFX | Samuel Gomes |\n| R2P | bobalooie |\n| RockPaperScissorsSpockLizard | TempodiBasic |\n| Stopwatch | Fellippe Heitor |\n| TextFetch | B+ |\n| ThemePreview | Fellippe Heitor |\n| TicTacToe | Fellippe Heitor |\n| TicTacToe2 | Fellippe Heitor |\n| Trackword | Richard Notley |\n| VDrops | bobalooie |\n| WordClock | Fellippe Heitor |\n| wordSearch | George McGinn |\n\n## NOTES\n\n- This requires the latest version of [QB64-PE](https://github.com/QB64-Phoenix-Edition/QB64pe/releases/latest).
