PB 3.60 Visual Designer Questions

Fred and Berikco,

I know I'm slow , but I just got the 3.60 update. The Visual Designer is great! Now my only problem is having too many good tools to use. I bought Paul's PureVision and I like it a lot too. Each tool has some features the other doesn't.

I have a couple of questions/observations:

1. A PanelGadget with more than one tab: The individual tabs can be selected by clicking on them in the Objects Viewer window. If you press the Delete key, the selected tab disappears from the Objects Viewer, but it is still shown on the PanelGadget in the window. The PanelGadget will be redrawn with the correct number of tabs if you select it and move it. The source code creates the number of tabs shown in the Objects Viewer.

2. Is there any way to place gadgets on a PanelGadget tab, so that they are created on the tab and move when you move the PanelGadget?

3. Is there any way to add columns in a ListViewGadget or ListIconGadget?

I want to say a big "Thank you!" for all the hard work put in by everyone connected with PureBasic. Like some others here, I come from a background of C/C++ and Visual Basic, but I've used PureBasic for my last three projects. My customers still can't believe that the programs delivered are only 50KB! The only problem is that they want to pay me less, since such a small program must have been very easy to write!

Regards,
Eric

LOL

1. looks to me like a small bug.
2. no, but you can use the 'Selection Tool', select all, and then move them together.
an Option for grouping Gadgets together is planned.
3. no, there is no way to do that.

Whats about a nice Compiler Command called BLOATED(Multiplyer) which increase the exe to make it VB alike ?

Its a long way to the top if you wanna .....CodeGuru

PowerBasic has one to bloate the executable just for this same reason!!

Its easy to do it just including some binary that its never used or extracted by the application.

Yes seems a refresh bug, il take a look

2. Is there any way to place gadgets on a PanelGadget tab, so that they are created on the tab and move when you move the PanelGadget?

gadgets on the tabs of pannel is not possible for now, the X/Y positions starts at 0/0 in the corner of the panel, under the tabs.
if you put gadget on y - 20, its not visible.

3. Is there any way to add columns in a ListViewGadget or ListIconGadget?

not possible for now.

I want to say a big "Thank you!" for all the hard work put in by everyone connected with PureBasic.

Thanks, Fred an me did not have any free time last 4 months, so i'l take vacation now......

Very nice work the Visual Ide

One suggestion:

Maybe you can explain us how the format of the project files because i want to make some tool that let me convert old codes to your gui builder.
Im not asking for the code, just for the format of the project file. I need to be able to open some sources on the Visual Designer

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards

??? I dont understand or maybe im not clear on my question.

Imagine i have an code with all my windows and gadgets... now, i want to make a tool that takes my windows and gadgets from that code and build a project file for the visual designer then i can open it on the visual designer, change my gadgets, save it and then my tool will replace the windows and gadgets from my code.

I just want to know the format of the .pbv project file saved by the visual designer, NOT the source code.

Why do i want to do all those process? because some codes that i have has many windows and many many gadgets and i dont want to start from scratch if a want to make just a few changes.

Best Regards
