Creating A New GLX Framework Application

To begin I will create a new application using the framework IDE plugin.

Launch Revolution

Launch Revolution and don't open any other stacks. It is nice to start with a clean environment so we don't have any stack name conflicts.

Open Framework Plugin

To create a new application I open the glxApplicationProperties plugin by choosing the Development > Plugins menu item.

When the plugin opens I am presented with the screen used to create a new application.

I click on the first Choose... button.

Select Folder To Build Application In

I then select the folder that the Article Maestro.rev stack file is in as the folder to build my application in.

Choose Folder For Application Files

I like to organize application files in a folder named components. Now I am going to tell the plugin to use this subfolder by clicking the second Choose... button.

In the dialog that appears I create a components folder (1) and I select it (2).

And this is what the plugin window looks like now. I click on the Create New Application button to create the application.

The Result

The plugin will now create a new GLX Application Framework application and the plugin window will display the various tabs for configuring the application.
