CreateGadgetList()

Syntax

Result = CreateGadgetList(WindowID)

Allocate the resources for a future GadgetList. This command must be called before any gadget creation command like ButtonGadget(), etc. The 'WindowID' parameter can be easily obtained using the UseWindow() or WindowID() commands from the Window library.

Note: There is no separate administration of the gadget lists for every opened window In PureBasic. Therefore you should use ongoingly numbered 'GadgetID's also for several windows. Or use the new #PB_Any constant as 'GadgetID'.

Example:

  ; Define your window first...
  If OpenWindow(0,0,0,250,105,#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered,"Create gadgets...")
    ; Now create the gadget-list...
    If CreateGadgetList(WindowID(0))   ; the gadget-list was sucessfully created
      ; define your gadgets here...
      ButtonGadget(0,10,15,230,30,"Test button")
    Else                               ; the gadget-list couldn't be created
      ; show an error message here, end the program etc...
    EndIf  
    Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent()=#PB_Event_CloseWindow
  EndIf
