This file is corrupt (bad gadget id) !

PanelGadget¶-372¶#admi_pan¶...

Could you reproduce the steps to get such a file ?
It should be:

Code: Select all

;{[PureFORM Project] 
;PureFORM_Project_Begin 
;Project¶admin_conf_form 
;Window¶1¶#Window_0¶348651522¶#PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_TitleBar|#PB_Window_WindowCentered¶Window_0¶428¶110¶522¶357¶0¶10¶10¶0¶5000¶5000¶0¶-1¶0¶¶¶

Hello Gnozal, thank you for your latest update of PureFORM

There is still a bug in the menu-editor. If I try to insert a seperator a errormessage pops up "Menuitem '' allready exists".
So I am not able to insert seperators.

Another improvement suggestion: New menu items are placed *before* the currently selected item. It is more practical if new items would placed *after* the current item (and maybe the new item becomes the current item [selection]).

And a second issue regarding gadgets with images: If I click the button to load an "Image File" for a Imagegadget the filerequesters path is always(!) "Eigene Dateien" (only if the imagepath stringgadget is empty).
It would be fine if PureFORM remember and use the last path of the filerequester.
I have all my icons and buttonimages in the same directory. And for each Image I have to click click click click click... me from "Eigene Dateien" to this directory.

PS: If "Don't generate Eventloop code" is enabled, PureFORM must not define the following variables: "Define.l Event, EventWindow, EventGadget, EventType, EventMenu", but PF do this!

PS2: Another (small) issue regarding images:
I placed an image in a window and PureFORM gave them an Enum-ID (#Image_Image_1). The code works and all went okay.
Now I changed the Enum manually to "#Image_Aboutlogo". But PureForm changes only the Image-ID, but not the label text for LoadImage/CatchImage. The label text is still the old one.

Well i have the same probe like kurzer.
No way to at a seperator into a menu.

I have found one more prob / bug in PureFORM.

If you use the settings wat shows the image and Save the code for PB in PureFORM you dont have the arry in the code and so you cant compile the code in PB.

If you set the config for Languages to "Procedure" it works fin but not with arry´s.

And one more question:
How i can config PureFORM so that PureFORM generats more code files, 1 for the Loop and 1 codefile for forms (like the form stuff) and 1 for the common (for crate the variables and arry´s and so)?
If i build a software i have every time 3 main code files. So it is esay and clearly to work.
I think it is not a good way to have all in one code file

A smal example how i work:

1. the main code file (with the loop as main.pb)

Code: Select all

XIncludeFile "declars.pb"

OpenWindow_Window_0()
Repeat
  Event = WaitWindowEvent()
  Select Event
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      EventGadget = EventGadget()
      EventType = EventType()
    Case #PB_Event_Menu
      EventMenu = EventMenu()
      If EventMenu = #menu_new
      ElseIf EventMenu = #menu_open
      ElseIf EventMenu = #menu_save
      ElseIf EventMenu = #menu_exit
      EndIf
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      EventWindow = EventWindow()
      If EventWindow = #Window_0
        CloseWindow(#Window_0)
        Break
      EndIf
  EndSelect
ForEver

2. the declare file (declare of all variables, Enums, arry´s .....)

Code: Select all

;{- Variables
Global hwnd
;}
;{- Windows
Enumeration
  #Window_0
EndEnumeration
;}
;{- Menu
Enumeration
  #Menu_Window_0
EndEnumeration
Enumeration
  #menu_new
  #menu_open
  #menu_save
  #menu_exit
EndEnumeration
;}

Define.l Event, EventWindow, EventGadget, EventType, EventMenu

XIncludeFile "Forms.pb"

3. tghe Forms code file (all the stuff for create the Windows as Forms.pb)

Code: Select all

Procedure OpenWindow_Window_0()
  If OpenWindow(#Window_0, 382, -2, 890, 709, LanguageItem(#Window_0_W_Lng), #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_SizeGadget|#PB_Window_MinimizeGadget|#PB_Window_TitleBar|#PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
    If CreateImageMenu(#Menu_Window_0, WindowID(#Window_0))
      MenuTitle(LanguageItem(_Lng))
      MenuItem(#menu_new, LanguageItem(#menu_new_Lng))
      MenuItem(#menu_open, LanguageItem(#menu_open_Lng))
      MenuItem(#menu_save, LanguageItem(#menu_save_Lng))
      MenuItem(#menu_exit, LanguageItem(#menu_exit_Lng))
    EndIf
    If CreateGadgetList(WindowID(#Window_0))
    EndIf
  EndIf
EndProcedure

This is only a example
If you can insert a option so that PureFORM can separate the code, it would be very nice.

Regards,
Nico[/code]

Could you be more precise ?
Note that you need at least one gadget in your form !

You can't.

Silly me

Will fix.

Did you try 'Add' instead of 'Insert' ?

Ok, will see.

The label is based on the image ID, not the enum.

Works great, Thanks for the fast fix! *thumbsup*

Ooops, no.

Thank you for the hint. -painful-

Okay, thanks for clarify this.

Edit PS: Gnozal, what do you think about Arrow-buttons within the gadgetlist (Integratorwindow) to change the Tab-order of the gadgets instead of using a seperate Window for this job? Drag 'n drop entries within the gadgetlist would be fantastic too (like in the official VD).

Hi Gnozal, there is another issue which has to be fixed. I press one Button from the Spin Gadgets in the Gadget Properties window once and keep it pressed to move a gadget. The Value start to count but it stops after 15 increments. In older Versions this featur has worked correct.

Should be fixed in new build (255).
Download updated.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean.
And are we talking about PureCOLOR or PB4.20 generated menu code ?
