I noticed the form designer and properties in the screenshot posted in the repo.
Does that system only design forms, and you have to manually "glue" them to code - or is there a visual programming system behind it?
I guess what I'm getting at is that you mentioned here being inspired by VB from your youth - so I was wondering how far you have taken that particular part?
I worked professionally with VB for over a decade (from VB3 to VB6) years ago; BASIC in general, and VB as well - both hold places in my heart, since that is where I started my coding journey to a career in it (I started when I was 10-11 years old, back in 1984, using a TRS-80 Color Computer 2, which ran a version of BASIC from Microsoft).
This is a great project, something I've seen posted before here and elsewhere, but it's always worth another look when it pops up.
Yeah, so far the form designer is just to help you create layouts which are then turned into C++ code. There's a bit of smoke & mirrors here though, I haven't even started on the tool that converts a saved form into C++.. but all in good time!
It would be fun to build a visual programming system in the style of VB6~, but it's not something I've started on. :)
