How do I make a GUI or UI for a plugin

[Giwin]

Hello!

I'm sure this has already been covered but the search function doesn't work if it's 3 letters or less (too many matches it says).

Any links to guides would be great or bone only code (just the code needed to make a GUI in any plugin, like a pulse function).

Thank you!

add a form to your visual studio project.

        private Form _configForm;
        public override void OnButtonPress()
        {
            if (_configForm == null || _configForm.IsDisposed || _configForm.Disposing)
                _configForm = new AmpConfig();

            _configForm.ShowDialog();
        }

add that code to your plugin, change AmpConfig() to what you named your forms.

Gotten to where its all fine and no erorrs, but when I click on the Settings button... the GUI that I made doesn't load.

Keep in mind that it's just a button that does nothing, so very simple to change and not sure why its not working since I'm not getting any errors

did you make your project in visual studio?
its all over the place and your namespaces dont even match. theres a lot of stuff going on here.


i fixed it for you and even added your settings class.

Thanks for the code, I will take my time and learn what you've wrote so I can then try and replicate it from scratch which means I fully understand it.

I usually create using ConsoleApplication Project instead of ClassLibrary as described in your tutorial.
