For example, double-click the button to show the Event Handler window where you can add the Action event handler to the button by simply selecting it from a list:Īnd then entering the code in the Code Editor: Here you can see the source for MainWindow.cs and the “Clicked” handler that updates the number of clicks and displays the count in the label:
Once you do this, you can switch back to the source code file to add the code. To add code to the button in Visual Studio for Mac you have to click on the Signals tab in the Properties and add a handler to the Clicked signal. The Layout Editor is a bit tricky to work with as dragging controls around does not show you exactly where they will be positioned, making it hard to line things up.įor comparison, this is what the Layout Editor looks like in Xojo: Here you can see the control layout for a simple “Hello” app with just a button and a label: Packaging these types of apps can be a pain and is not done automatically by Visual Studio for Mac.Īlthough Visual Studio for Mac doesn’t include a layout editor when creating native Mac apps, it does include a Layout Editor for your Gtk# layouts. NET run-time library in order for these apps to work.

Unfortunately, Gtk# does not create native apps for any platform and you’ll be required to manually install the required. Visual Studio for Mac lets you make cross-platform desktop apps by using the Gtk# UI toolkit. In a previous post I compared how much easier it is to make native Mac apps with Xojo than with Visual Studio for Mac. Now I’d like to talk about making cross-platform desktop apps. Visual Studio for Mac was recently released.
