hello

Where to find a tutorial for gforth application GUI creation ?

I started from https://gforth.org/manual/MINOS2.html but it doesn't feet teh need.

Please do not propose me another forth interpretor this is not currently the question :)

Please do not push to minos -> even 0.7.9 examples are not usable as far as they are not correctly written to be a tutorial to learn from.

I tryied te use also http://irdvo.nl/FFL/GTKserver.html but author mentionned on his GITHUB page -> he will never more work on it and it is already obsolete & partially not warking with bugs far example clasing any application crashes GTK because a GTK
instruction used is no more existing.

So I would get another solution a real one for linux (x86) that have a tutorial more ar less for dummies about GUI's

Can you provide a link to such a documentation ? using either TK/GTK/minos GUI interpretors

thanks

My 5 cents on this:
GTK is huge and often used within C programs: https://docs.gtk.org/gtk4/getting_started.html
Create your GUI and call gforth from your C program,
e.g. on button events, as described in the gforth manual.
IOW separate the GUI from application scripting in Forth.

Creating the GUI is much preferred from within Forth.
I made a organ pipe design program in C#, with a keyboard
spanning several octaves. This was a huge hassle, because
all graphic elements have to created separately (white
and black keys.).

I want to follow up on that. It is easy to download gforth on an
android system. Is their any example of a program using that
gforth, preferably using android facilities.

thanks

This is exactly what I want to avoid having to learn C or C++ during months or years just to drive GUI for GFORTH .....to be true

I use html as a gui under CForth, Gforth and Win32Forth.
It does not need if..then or case statements to decide
what button has been pushed.
For Gforth and Win32Forth see_demo1.f at: https://github.com/Jos-Ven/A-smart-home-in-Forth/blob/main
for a simple example.
