Questions about the new XmlDialog

[Andre]

Thanks guys for your examples.

@hallodri: your example work fine...

@Fred: your example doesn't display the listicon gadget here, on my MacOS 10.5.8

What my original wish with including also the listicon columns into the Dialog system means, is automatic resizing also of the columns. With the solutions now, the Listicon size gets resized with the window size, but the column width stay at their initial size.

Would be nice, if this can be included. Else it further must be done manually...

Got my dunce hat on.

Can anyone give a concise, clear explanation about when to use a Dialog form instead of a 'regular' form, and why?

[Fred]

You have automatic layout, so if you change the font size, all gets properly reordered. Also Linux/OS X and Windows doesn't have the same default font size, so you need to adjust manually your gadget position if you don't use a layout manager.

In that case, I propose that the PB Form Designer has a switch/option to produce either a traditional form or an XML dialog form.

I want to write an import/export XML dialog which could be used for any form.
Best option as you don't loose the convenience of having the PB source code of the form, with still being able to modify the dialog when it's exported.

However, this is not for now, it's a big work and I would need time for that.

Same problem here: Windows 7-64 PB5.20LTS Beta13.

First tab shown. No list Icon gadget.

[Fred]

True, we have fixed some bug since the beta 13. It will work for the next version.

Thanks, Fred.
I think Dialog is the hidden gem in PB5.20!

You have plenty of time to do that between the 8th and 12th days of each week.........

Hello,

1 / Quick question regarding gridbox:
Are there any plans for a future version, the implementation of a value of "weight" to the size of cells on the same line to manage finer creating interfaces (like in Java).

2 / I'm not at all understood how the multibox. If anyone has an example, I'm interested.

Bye
