That code is incomplete.
ioFiles mentions setInputFile which you did not define.
That said, I think this will achieve something closer to what you want:
ioForm=: 0 : 0
bin h;
bin v;
cc inlbl static left;cn "Input file ";
cc oulbl static left;cn "Output file";
bin z;
bin v;
cc inpfl edit;
cc outpfl edit;
bin z;
bin z;
)
Note that the size allocated to the static elements seems excessive.
You might instead want something like this:
ioForm=: 0 : 0
bin g;
grid size 2 2;
grid colwidth 1 300;
cc inlbl static left;cn "Input file ";
cc inpfl edit;
cc oulbl static left;cn "Output file";
cc outpfl edit;
bin z;
)
Note that space allocated to the static items will still be excessive.
Note also that although the wd documentation specifies that the number
of rows can be elided in the 'grid size' command, the implementation
does not support this.
Finally, note that
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Guides/JQtChildClasses#static refers to
http://doc.qt.io/doc/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html which does not
exist. However, http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.6/richtext-html-subset.html
does exist and perhaps might be close enough to accurate. (Problems
with missing documentation seem to be an epidemic with software, and
this has been something of an ongoing issue for decades.)
