Thread: Limnor new "visual program"

On start up, Limnor asks you to create a new application and decide whether it'll be a Desktop Application or a Kiosk Application (one that fills the screen and is the only application to run at any time). Later, you can also change the nature of the program from within Limnor.

The main toolbar is on the left, and to access the main menu, you must click on the Menu button. To minimise Limnor, click on the button at the very top. The rest of the screen is taken up by an empty window for you to build on-a 'page' in Limnor-speak.

We'll be following the eventaction approach here. We'll first create an action, and then find an event to associate it with. For example, let's create an Exit button for our application. Rightclick on Page 1 and choose Make Action > Close. Let the name of the action remain the default. Now to create a button.



Items like buttons, text boxes and so on are called 'performers' in Limnor. Click on the Performers button on the toolbar to access the toolbox. Under Performers by Categories > Basic, you'll find Button. Drag a button on to your page and position it where required.

To change the text on the button, right-elick on it and choose Properties. Once you're done having your fun here, it's time to attach the Close action to the button's Click event. Right-click on the button and choose Assign Actions > Click. Select the row with Pagel. Close and hit the Select button. Click on Run at the bottom of the toolbar. When you click the button, your application should close and you should return to Limnor.
