Answer 1

* How to install and use the extension WINDOWS FORMS FOR SMALL BASIC ?

Gungan's WINDOWS FORMS FOR SMALL BASIC  ONLY works with SmallBasic 1.0 ('installation' there like any other extension into the %SB%\lib  folder). You cannot use it with SmallBasic 1.2.

* How do I create extensions?

1.)

How to Create an Extension Using C#

Small Basic - How to Create an Extension Using VB.NET

2.) LitDev  3 downloads:

Guide to writing extensions + Extension template + Small Basic extension compiler

about the 'extension compiler' also look for '(Small Basic) extension compiler'  in the forum:

extension compiler or Small Basic extension compiler

3.)  LDInlineInclude..

LDInline.IncludeCS(source, assemblies, dllName)
LDInline.IncludeVB(source, assemblies, dllName)
LDInline.IncludeJScript(source, assemblies, dllName)

See in LitDev's extension zip download:
other-samples\LDInline.sb (incl. code1.cs/code1.vb)  ,  LDInline-Reflection.sb

Answer 2

Is there another extension to add Windows Forms ?

Thanks.

Answer 3

Frankly, the best way to do windows forms is VB or C# directly using free Visual Studio Community 2017 - if you are considering writing extensions why not just write your windows forms or WPF program directly using VS - this will give you access to everything .Net has to offer and not rely on extensions etc to do in SB?
