PureFORM 1.99 (yet another FORM designer)

[gnozal]

Found a bug in Build 175:
1. Open Build 175
2. Create a ExplorerList
3. Create a ExplorerTree -> nothing happens
4. Click on Form [several times]
The Program crashes...
(Seems like a infinite loop)
EDIT: It's irrelevant which Control you create first, the ExplorerTree creation always crashes. BTW I have Undo enabled.

Hum ...
No problem here : I just created this form with ExplorerList and ExplorerTree

Code: Select all

Both can take some time to initialize but that's all.
I have Undo enabled too.
And another project with 3 ExplorerTrees : no problem (WinNT4 sp6 and WinXP sp2) ?!

Just an idea : do you have a C: drive (the default path is set to C:\) ?

[milan1612]

I just tested your Form and while loading the Form, PureFORM crashes again.
It is stored in:
"C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\milan1612\Desktop\PureFORM"

Any idea?

EDIT: Second Form crashes too
EDIT2: No problems with Vista Ultimate, just XP Professional SP2 crashes

Some error message / line ?

No, just tested a copy placed on the desktop : no problem (XP sp2).
Some antivirus issue ?

[milan1612]

I just copied PureFORM to "E:/PureFORM".
Runs without any problems. Weird anyway...

BTW, thanks for PureFORM. It's great

[milan1612]

Some error message / line ?

No, PureFORM just doesn't react anymore and I have to kill the process...

Problem with Build 175:
If you change the "String_UpperCase" Flag in the Gadget properties, the original Tab order of this Gadget is destroyed.

Problem with Build 175:
If you change the "String_UpperCase" Flag in the Gadget properties, the original Tab order of this Gadget is destroyed.

It's because each time you change a flag for a gadget, the gadget is deleted / recreated. I will fix it in the generated code but I cannot fix it in the form (until next loading) because the tab order is the gadget creation order.

[gnozal]

Update

Changes :
- fixed : changing gadget flags should not change tab order in generated code
- added : basic balloon tooltips (optional for each gadget)

Hi, this is my first post on the board, and it's about.. PureForm
First of all i want to thank gnozal for the great work done..
Then i'd have a question. I haven't been able to find a way to add fixed width columns to a listicongadget. I've seen that they're created all with the same width and then adjusted with a message. Is this option missing from pureform or i just can't find it? And in case it's missing, could it be implemented?

Thanks in advance.

This option doesn't exist currently.

And in case it's missing, could it be implemented?

I will think about it.

Another Request This should be faster to implement..

I'm using an imagegadget whose image isn't taken from a file, but is created at runtime with StartDrawing and so on.
So I have to use it with: ImageGadget(8,10,10,890,20,ImageID(2))
I think that an option to use imagegadget that way could be useful for cases like this.

Hello Gnozal,

The demand for a possibility to enter the width of ListIcon columns is correct, I myself already looked for an option like that. Please give us this possibility.

Thanks

Done (build 178)
You can now enter something like "ImageID(1)" in the 'Image File' stringgadget.
Note that you will get a compilation error with F6/F7 if you don't define the corresponding image in the form (with code infusion).

That may take a little longer ....

Works great!
Thank you very much!

Hi gnozal (great tool, thanks)
