rayquiro.app

rayquiro.app is the low-level native Windows UI layer in RayQuiro.

Use it when you want:

  • a tiny utility window
  • manually positioned controls
  • direct control over button and text placement
  • a lighter alternative to rayquiro.ui

Import​

import rayquiro.app as app;

API Reference​

app.init(title, width, height)​

Creates the native window.

Defaults:

  • title: "RayQuiro"
  • width: 900
  • height: 600

app.button(text, x, y, width, height)​

Adds a native button.

app.text(text, x, y, width, height)​

Adds a text label region.

app.msg(title, text)​

Shows a native message box.

app.run()​

Starts the window message loop.

This call blocks until the window closes. That is normal GUI behavior, not a compiler hang.

Minimal Example​

import rayquiro.app as app;

app.init("RayQuiro App Demo", 640, 360);
app.button("Click", 40, 40, 120, 32);
app.text("Native app UI", 40, 90, 220, 24);
app.run();

Message Box Example​

import rayquiro.app as app;

app.msg("RayQuiro", "Hello from rayquiro.app");

Typical Flow​

The normal order is:

  1. app.init(...)
  2. add controls
  3. app.run()

If you forget app.run(), the script finishes immediately and the window closes right away.

When To Use rayquiro.app​

Use app when you want:

  • absolute positioning
  • very small native tools
  • direct Win32-style behavior

Use rayquiro.ui when you want:

  • a styled card layout
  • guided installer flows
  • themed action buttons
  • easier branding
