Hmm, a single form with a Frame3DGadget and ButtonGadget, and the exe
created is 207 KB? I can see this is due to a massive 18 KB include source
file, but seriously... this is without even adding any of my own code yet.

[Straker]

@PB - still using those 144kb floppies?

[Intrigued]

Looking good, looooking good!

Thanks for sharing, again.

[Droopy]

Nice enhanced version.

Same remark as PB : The Exe size is strong
When changing gadget with TAB, it is possible to change gadget id without deleting them.

Thanks

[Droopy]

For the Exe size : In the include file, by removing

Code: Select all

UseJPEGImageDecoder()
UsePNGImageDecoder()

The size fell to 87K

[PB]

@Droopy: Yes, removing those image decoders will help. It's a shame that
the app includes all these functions by default, thus increasing the exe size
for no reason. If such includes were optional, it'd be a better app. It's too
much hassle right at the moment because the user has to go and remove
all unused functions by hand...

pfff i don't mind, i draw the line at roughly 1 mb, remember people, this is 2005, and although small aps are often the best, in cases like this i don't mind too much

looks promising!

[blueznl]

may i suggest to use a button bar or small command panels or something similar instead of the right mouse button? that will speed things up tremendously

[Droopy]

Code: Select all

UseJPEGImageDecoder() 
UsePNGImageDecoder()

@Micha : It's possible to call this functions only when a gadget like a GadgetButton or ImageGadget is created ?

[Mischa]

Slow down.
Simple source analyse is planned. Without that function, it's the
only way for me, at this time, to include all functionallity, cause i don't know,
what you will do after source generation with your design.
But i will "fix" this "shame" for the final.

Mischa

Hehe, we can't, we're PureBasic users.

Good! Makes the app a much more attractive option.

Awesome. I love it. Absolutely brilliant for creating cheeky dialogues.

**EDIT** Program crashes on opening a .gdf file created with the first version of gDesign! I take it this means that the file structure has altered? Not a problem as such.

This is NICE.

Size doesn't concern me at all, at this level.

Thanks much.
