VCL style files

usage:

go get github.com/ying32/govcl

• Method 1:

package main

import (
   "github.com/ying32/govcl/vcl"
)

var (
   mainForm *vcl.TForm
)

func main() {
    vcl.Application.Initialize()
    mainForm = vcl.Application.CreateForm()
    mainForm.SetCaption("Hello")
    mainForm.EnabledMaximize(false)
    mainForm.ScreenCenter()
    vcl.Application.Run()
}

• Method 2:

package main


import (
   "github.com/ying32/govcl/vcl"
)

type TMainForm struct {
    *vcl.TForm
    Btn1     *vcl.TButton
}

var (
    mainForm *TMainForm
)

func main() {
    vcl.Application.Initialize()
    vcl.Application.SetMainFormOnTaskBar(true)
    vcl.Application.CreateForm(&mainForm)
    vcl.Application.Run()
}


func (f *TMainForm) OnFormCreate(sender vcl.IObject) {
    f.SetCaption("Hello")
    f.Btn1 = vcl.NewButton(f)
    f.Btn1.SetParent(f)
    f.Btn1.SetBounds(10, 10, 88, 28)
    f.Btn1.SetCaption("Button1")
    f.Btn1.SetOnClick(f.OnButtonClick)  
}

func (f *TMainForm) OnButtonClick(sender vcl.IObject) {
    vcl.ShowMessage("Hello!")
}

• Method 3:

package main


import (
   "github.com/ying32/govcl/vcl"
)

type TMainForm struct {
    *vcl.TForm
    Btn1     *vcl.TButton
}

var (
    mainForm *TMainForm
)

func main() {
    vcl.Application.Initialize()
    vcl.Application.SetMainFormOnTaskBar(true)
    vcl.Application.CreateForm(mainFormBytes, &mainForm)
    vcl.Application.Run()
}


func (f *TMainForm) OnFormCreate(sender vcl.IObject) {
    
}

func (f *TMainForm) OnBtn1Click(sender vcl.IObject) {
    vcl.ShowMessage("Hello!")
}

Method 3 needs to be used in conjunction with the UI designer or the res2go tool.
