Examples

# Let's start.
# We start the main class creation, in the constructor we do the
# widget's showing, to give a particular popup
# creation appearance.
class (ws,widget)
{
constructor
{
$$->$setGeometry(%X,%Y,100,100)
(KviKvsObjectFunctionCall *c
$$->%label=$new(label,$$)
$$->%label->$settext("Another class by N\&G")
$$->%label->$setautoresize(1)
$$->$show()
}
}
# We create the new workspace, and we set a 640x480 size with widget $resize command
%Workspace=$new(workspace)
%Workspace->$resize(640,480)
# Now we make a cycling construction of the widgets (look at the class),
# and give to the widgets a random X and Y coordinates.
# It takes few seconds to show the effects, be patient.
%I=0
while (%I<100)
%X=$rand(500)
%Y=$rand(480)
%Widget=$new(ws,%Workspace)
%I++
}
# Let's show the fireworks! EnJoY!
%Workspace->$show()

Example 2:

# This is like the first example but it has a particular animation effect.
%Hex[]=$array(0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F)
