Editing PowerBASIC (section)

=====Creating a GRAPHIC WINDOW application=====
A GRAPHIC WINDOW is the equivalent of a Windows [[dialog box]] containing a static control on which drawing operations can be done. A single BASIC statement will create a GRAPHIC WINDOW and specify its size, position and title. It is not essential to specify a [[Windows USER|WNDPROC]] for the GRAPHIC WINDOW. A short source code example for a complete GRAPHIC WINDOW application follows:
<syntaxhighlight lang="vbnet">
#Compile Exe ' using either PBCC6 or PBWIN10 compiler
#Dim All

Function PBMain
    Local GW As Dword
    ' start a GRAPHIC WINDOW
    Graphic Window New "graphic window", 100, 100, 200, 200 to GW
    ' show a coloured disc
    Graphic Ellipse (10, 10)-(190, 190), %rgb_Red, %rgb_SeaGreen, 0
    ' wait for a keypress
    Graphic Waitkey$
End Function
