Hello sciter program |
As we are used to doing a hello world program for learning a new programming language or any framework.
In Sciter for GUI, you have to use web stacks [ means HTML/CSS] to create a UI of the application. Either you can bind HTML inside your go code or you can create a separate HTML file for it.
In some starting examples, we will go with a separate HTML file to make things easy to understand.
Easy thing first let start with GUI of the application as its just a simple HTML file
So here is the HTML file of [ GUI File ] Of the Application
GUI FILE
Hello.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Harmony</title>
<!-- style definitions -->
<style>
h1{
text-align: center
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1> Hello Sciter </h1>
</body>
</html>
Don't think I have to explain upper code as its quite obvious and easy to understand for anyone who is doing programming and reading an online blog to learn sciter [ which is SDK to create GUI application with web stack ]
GoLang File
This is the first example, yes "Hello Sciter" example. To get you excited about what you are going to learn. I have shown the important lines of code with blue colour and highlighted steps. The code is explained below the complication of code
Let's Start with the main function
< Import necessary packages >
func main(){
// Code For Creating Sciter GUI App
}
To Create Sciter GUI We have to go through certain steps
Define window size you want
Define window type you want
Define GUI content that means HTML ( Or HTML file ) you want to load on that window
So Let start with defining the size of the window
func main(){
// Defines rectangle of 300,500
rect := sciter.NewRect(100, 100, 600, 400)
...
}
Now Define what kind of window we are expecting. Type of windows means Main Window, Dialog Box, Window with Resize Controls etc.
So in our case, we need the main window having resizing controls. So
func main(){
// Defines rectangle of 300,500
rect := sciter.NewRect(100, 100, 600, 400)
// Creating the main window with resizing control having
// size of the rectangle we have defined above
window, _:= window.New(sciter.SW_MAIN|sciter.SW_CONTROLS,rect)
...
}
Next is the GUI. From where sciter load the GUI. We are using an HTML file for now. So To Load HTML file as GUI in sciter
func main(){
// Defines rectangle of 300,500
rect := sciter.NewRect(100, 100, 600, 400)
// Creating the main window with resizing control having
// size of the rectangle we have defined above
window, _ := window.New(sciter.SW_MAIN|sciter.SW_CONTROLS,rect)
// Indicatgin HTML file to be loaded as GUI
// Indicatgin HTML file to be loaded as GUI
window.LoadFile("./hello.html")
...
}
Now Before we can run it, we have to set the title to the window so it can be shown on the title bar of the application.
func main(){
// Defines rectangle of 300,500
rect := sciter.NewRect(100, 100, 600, 400)
// Creating the main window with resizing control having
// size of the rectangle we have defined above
window,_ := window.New(sciter.SW_MAIN|sciter.SW_CONTROLS,rect)
window.LoadFile("./hello.html")
// Set title for application
window.SetTitle("Hello ")
...
}
And at last, make window show and the do window running. Remember Make window show first and run at last. Run() should be the last call because it runs continuously and the window will be there while the run is the looping function().
func main(){
// Defines rectangle of 300,500
rect := sciter.NewRect(100, 100, 600, 400)
// Creating the main window with resizing control having
// size of the rectangle we have defined above
window, _ := window.New(sciter.SW_MAIN|sciter.SW_CONTROLS,rect)
window.LoadFile("./hello.html")
window.SetTitle("Hello ")
window.Show()
window.Run()
}
main.go [ complete code ]
package main
import (
"github.com/fatih/color"
"github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter"
"github.com/sciter-sdk/go-sciter/window"
)
func main(){
// Defines rectangle of 300,500
rect := sciter.NewRect(100, 100, 600, 400)
// Creating the main window with resizing control having
// size of the rectangle we have defined above
window, windowsGenerateionError := window.New(
sciter.SW_MAIN|sciter.SW_CONTROLS,
rect)
if windowsGenerateionError != nil {
color.RedString(
"Failed to generate sciter window ",
windowsGenerateionError.Error())
}
uiLoadingError := window.LoadFile("./hello.html")
if uiLoadingError != nil {
color.RedString("Failed to load ui file ",
uiLoadingError.Error())
}
window.SetTitle("Hello ")
window.Show()
window.Run()
}
