In the moment it works. But before, the change of the windows was ignored in the Window properties. Also in the saved file.

Only temporally?

when a gadget is selected , it would be nice if it was possible to move it with cursor pixel by pixel.

@gnozal

First i must say thank you for this very nice VD. It is the best wat i have see for PB.

Not a little bit tips:

Can you add the gadget move via arrow key´s?
Can you add a option to show the virtual grid ?

regards,
Nico

If you could make the GadgetList sortable (d'n'd or PGup / PgDn) it would be great.

It would make FOCUSING / TAB ORDER quite quick to edit!

Excelent coding BTW!

This is looking good! A couple more feature requests:

1) It would be nice if double-clicking on a gadget/window opened its properties window.

2) Copying and pasting of windows/gadgets.

Thanks and keep up the good work!

Mike

Update
- added (basic) gadget copy/paste (in context menu or main menu or Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V : parent window/gadget for pasted gadget depends on window/container gadget selected)
- fixed window coordinates sometimes not saved after window resize with mouse
- fixed right-click menu on gadget list not working
- some other little fixes

I will see what I can do for your suggestions.
Thanks.

At the moment you can use the spingadgets in the gadget properties window : you can move / size the gadget pixel by pixel (much more precise than mouse moves). Same for windows in the windows properties window.

only create a file named as Exename.manifest with the text of xp.res in the pb-compilers dir. Then Restart the preview.

Only create and restart the application to show result in XP-Style.
To disable, delete the file and restart.

Oh, with a manifest? I meant some API function.
The preview mode does not (re)start anything. It's simply the normal mode without the form designer functions. I don't start the PB compiler to compile the current form to an EXE, so I can't do what you suggest.
But I could add a 'compile form to exe' function.

hello gnozal,

here is a small bug while importing an existent project ('Translate from source'):

PureFORM wrote:

Code import error!

Line 68: If OpenWindow(#frmMain, #PB_Ignore, #PB_Ignore, 300, 300, "test", #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu)

Window coordinate not an integer

I think, you can't parse the #PB_Ignore - Constant, right?

Greetings ... Kiffi

Only create the manifest, end pureform.exe and restart with automatic loading last project :wink:

Very simple. If the manifest at start found, pureforms.exe uses XP-Style at all, if not found, no XP-Style.
No API-required. Only the manifest as file delete or create bevor new start the designer.
