Hi Olivier again,

Here is a short script that does the same thing without forms, it shows 
a message and a form window

-------------------------------------------------------------------- cut 
here --------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/env gbs3
' Gambas Script File Created 10/09/2026 14:00:45

use "gb.gui"

message.info("This is just for information")

    Dim f As New Form as "myform"
    f.height = 200
    f.Width = 200

    Dim l As New Label(f)

    l.x = 30
    l.y = 30
    l.height = 40
    l.width = 160
    l.text = "Hello World"
    f.showmodal()                        ' need this as there is no 
event loop in this case it just flashes otherwise


 print "end of program"

Quit 0
Catch
error "Script Error >";;error.text & "\n" & error.where

cut here
