Topic: Is there a graphic interface for Simply Fortran?

In 2018 I wrote some code to allow a user to enter expense receipt information that can be used for deductions for income tax.

For each receipt the user must enter the date, purchase location, cost, address where purchased item was used, expense category in Form 1040 Schedule E, comment. We typically have 700-800 receipts to enter each year. The code works fine, it sorts and munges the data and creates reports. But ...

My question is:

With Simply Fortran is it possible to create a graphic interface  where the user enters the 6 required fields in a window instead of on the command line from a read statement?


Thanks,
Imre Varga

Imre,

You can do so on Windows only using AppGraphics.  The toolkit will take some getting used to, but it can absolutely do what you're asking.

Does this works also on a Mac?

No, AppGraphics is a Windows-only solution. On macOS, you could instead use GTK-Fortran possibly.
