Example about using isMainSourceFile() - Form Designer

[Mahmoud Fayed]

Hello

Using isMainSourceFile() we can write code that will be executed if our script is executed as the main program (ring myprogram.ring)

Also, we can write code that will be executed if it's a sub program (load "myprogram.ring")

For example, The Ring Form Designer

Could be executed as standalone tool (ringpm run formdesigner)

Or it could be loaded by Ring Notepad as a dock able window

To achieve this, we use isMainSourceFile() in formdesigner.ring

Source Code: ring/tools/formdesigner/formdesigner.ring at master · ring-lang/ring

If the Form Designer is the main program, it will call the QApp Exec() method

If not, then Ring Notepad will call the QApp Exec() method

Greetings,

Mahmoud
