V1.17
two bugs fixed, and the selection boxes will follow now the resizing.
I've also added the invisible flag now without booting-up linux, I am a little short on time these days.
to optimize the first it would be easier if the main window could stay active while refreshing the dialog windows.
How should I do that? This is no simple refresh, this is a
recreation!
We don't have a possibility to refresh a dialoge when XML changed on the fly, so the only chance I had was to close the dialog and recreate it.
Of course it will "splash" then.

Seems not to be that easy to get rid of the flickering, maybe some additional functions for the dialog lib would be fine (PB6?)...
...I never player around with xml dialogs, refreshing things in windows is easier
Here's a try to keep the main window in front and to use a "shadow" copy of the dialog to reduce the blending effect (in reality, it pulsates here which also doesn't look that fine):
Code: Select all
Enumeration
#Xml
#Dlg
EndEnumeration
Global Dim RefreshCounter(99)
Global xml.s
Procedure UpdateDialog(id)
Protected flag
flag=RefreshCounter(id)
RefreshCounter(id)+1
id=id<<1+flag&1
Debug id
CreateDialog(id)
OpenXMLDialog(id,#Xml,"Window_Main", 200, 200)
HideWindow(DialogWindow(id),0,#PB_Window_NoActivate)
If flag
HideWindow(DialogWindow(id!1),1)
EndIf
SetForegroundWindow_(WindowID(0))
EndProcedure
OpenWindow(0,800,400,600,200,"Main")
StickyWindow(0,1)
If LoadXML(#Xml,"Test.xml") And XMLStatus(#Xml) = #PB_XML_Success
Repeat
Select WaitWindowEvent()
Case #WM_CHAR
UpdateDialog(#Dlg)
Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End
EndSelect
ForEver
EndIf
Here's the demo xml:

V1.19
- Drag&Drop for Linux was broken...
- Drag&Drop from File Explorer under Linux doesn't work (without rebuilding everything), so I added a new menu (Load additional Dialogs).
- AddOn system introduced
- Example AddOn (Load/Save dialog from PB source code) added. Must be compiled as AddOn_LoadPB.dll or similar. Important is the AddOn_ the following is then used as name
- Minor design changes
Regarding add-ons:
Take a look at
DD_Addon_LoadPB.pb, everything should be described there.
With this system it should also be possible to create an AddOn, which can load/save dialogs from/to resources, maybe someone else will do such an AddOn?
I'm doing a feature freeze now!
Installing too many features holds the danger of breaking too many things, so I leave it that way and just fix the bugs.
Feature requests are still welcome, but may only be implemented at some point (or do it yourself, source is there).

V1.21
Although I said I'm freezing the features now, I recognized that MacOS users can't use drag'n drop at all.
I've added now a simple copy and paste functionality (via popup menu), I didn't add a "cut" menu, shouldn't be a big deal to delete the copied block afterwards.

V1.25
An additional editor window has been requested, containing all of the IDs, Names and procedure names for easy copy&paste to the source code.
This list will not be automatically updated, only as soon as you press "save" or load a new dialog.
Re: DialogDesign0R V1.25

Since there are no more bug reports, V1.25 is now the final version.
I've also added compiled windows executables to first post for the lazy guys.

Updated to V1.26
I had some bad AHA effects, when loading a SpiderBasic Dialog into DD without switching the Dialog Type first to SpiderBasic.
Therefore, now DD will store the dialog type inside the XML (as comment at the end) and will automatically switch the type correctly.
And I also added some more tooltips.
Adding tooltips is much less time consuming than creating a help file (which most likely never will happen anyway
)

V1.30
- Added possibility to save an additional file which contains all of the names/ids/procedures (de/activate this on top of the constant window, if you can't see this window, reactivate it with F2)
Please check/change the included save_template.json file, it is responsible for the look of the output file - Added a simple update check (once a day)
- Changed the included AddOn, it will now handle both PureBasic and SpiderBasic sources (please delete the former AddOn)
- Removed the "tool" flag from the constant window and added a minimize possibility

V1.31
1.) Fixed automatic switching of dialoge types when using add-ons
2.) Added possibility to store XML also into the additional file (optional, new checkbox in constant window)
3.) default_save_template updated, please make sure to integrate the changes into your save_template.json (or just replace it)
4.) Fixed some typos
V1.32
1.) Seems some firewalls don't like the automatic update, this might be due to my domain suggerating it is a really EVIL site!
Anyway, I removed the auto-check and added a user-driven update-check (recognized the new icon in the top right corner?
2.) Added TABs to the constant output (shouldn't be needed, but has been requested)

V1.32
settings.prefs is saved and it contains correct values for x, y, w and h
when the main window is closed but when DD is started again, it will
always use it's default values (e.g. x=0, y=0) instead of the saved
ones from the .prefs file...
