XojoApp Desktop Quick Start

This note briefly outlines how to add XojoApp to any project.

The User Guide contains the setup instructions you'll need to build the sample applications and use XojoApp in your projects. Follow the steps outlined below to add XojoApp as externally referenced classes.

  1. Drag the RbApp Core folder of files to your project. To create external links hold down the Command and Option keys on Macintosh or Shift and Ctrl keys on Windows. It is important that this folder of classes be added to your project first before adding the RbApp folder below since those classes are based on the RbApp Core classes. If you add these folders in the reverse order, you will break the subclass references.

  2. Drag the RbEdit Core folder of files to a project to add the files as external links. The RbEdit Core folder contains all of the supporting code for the RbEdit class. If the project doesn't use RbEdit you can skip this step and remove the RbEdit class from the RbApp folder after completing step 4.

  3. Drag the RbChart Core folder of files to a project to add the files as external links. The RbChart Core folder contains all of the supporting code for the RbChart class. If the project doesn't use RbChart you can skip this step and remove the RbChart class from the RbApp folder after completing step 4.

  4. Drag the RbApp folder to the project to add the files as external links.

  5. Add a module to your project if it doesn't already contain one. Add the globally visible boolean constant, UsesQuickHelp and set it TRUE or FALSE depending on whether you want to use RbHelp.

  6. Add this property to your App class.

    fHelp as RbHelp

  7. In the Open event of your App class, add the following line of code with the parameter 0 for the Trial edition of XojoApp or your unique ID number for the Product edition.

    RbAppInit(0)

  8. Compile and run your application.
