Hi gnozal,

PureForm is super...!!!

But i found the following:
I put a checkbox in a form and give her the option disabled. In the preview of the form the checkbox is also shown as disabled. Only in the code it is not implemented.

Greetings PbFan

Found bug in creating gadget code:
1. Open PureFORM
2. Create PanelGadget on top
3. Add two EditorGadgets to bottom (or any other two gadgets)
4. Add SplitterGadget to EditorGadgets
It generates this code:

Code: Select all

Procedure OpenWindow_Window_0()
  If OpenWindow(#Window_0, 22, 20, 400, 378, "Window_0", #PB_Window_SystemMenu|#PB_Window_TitleBar)
    If CreateGadgetList(WindowID(#Window_0))
      EditorGadget(#Editor_1, 20, 155, 135, 195)
      EditorGadget(#Editor_2, 175, 155, 190, 195)
      PanelGadget(#Panel_0, 10, 15, 360, 115)
        ; Tab #1
        AddGadgetItem(#Panel_0, -1, "Tab #1")
        SplitterGadget(#Splitter_3, 10, 140, 375, 230, #Editor_1, #Editor_2, #PB_Splitter_Separator)
      CloseGadgetList()
      SetGadgetState(#Splitter_3, 117)
    EndIf
  EndIf
EndProcedure

Line with "SplitterGadget(#Splitter_3 ... " should be after CloseGadgetList() because it is not in panel.

Hi,
As explained in the help file, you can hide and/or disable a gadget in a form. This can be handy if you have several layers of gadgets.
The hidden or disabled state is not translated during code generation.
You may add some code using the code infusion feature though.

Confirmed, thanks.

Hello Gnozal,

today I figured out, PureForm does not support the #PB_Ignore parameter of the AddStatusBarField() command.
#PB_Ignore let adjust the size of a statusbarfield automatically depending on the window size.

Kind regards, Kurzer

Update (build 389)

Changes :
- added #PB_Ignore support for field width in statusbar builder.

Great! Thank you, Gnozal!

Gnozal,

found a small bug:
When importing a new project from source (translate from source) already existing tooltips are discarded/ignored.

Don'T know whether it is intended this way. Simply would be nice to keep them.

Hi Klonk,
the 'Translate from source' feature is incomplete, it only imports windows and gadgets (missing : statusbar / menu / tooltips / etc...) .
It may be improved, but it will never be perfect, as PureFORM handles some data it's own way.

Aloah Gnozal,

not really a bug, but I think you could point out this in your PureFORM documentation:

If you work with splitters together with PureResize, then it is important to activate PureResize ONLY for the splittergadget and NOT for the gadgets within the splitter.

If one activate PureResize for both parts it will result in a wired behaviour in the resulting exe - see this XVid screenvideo

Thank you, help file updated.

Hello Gnozal,

I found another strange issue in connection with a container gadget:

After changing the properties of a container gadget (see 1), the "active entry marker" of the gadget list (Integrator) jumps immediately one row up to the line "Splittergadget". Immediately means: You can not even see the new checkbox state before it switch to the other gadget.

This happens each time you change a property of the container gadget.

Thanks.
Should be fixed in build 391.
