PureFORM 1.99 (yet another FORM designer)

[John(ny)]

Hi Gnozal,

i have downloaded you newest Version....

...and test all.

Fine Work!

I have to congratulate you.

Thank you!

Let me ask (again); what is (or was) the reason for you, that you have develope pureFORM?
And what the outcome would be with that (nice) software? (pureFORM).

Can i something do for you?

Windows XP, as admin
Same directory as Purebasic. Purebasic runs.
No problem with my previous "old" version 3.90

[gnozal]

I simply wanted to create an alternative designer more suited to my needs. That's all.
That was five years ago (PB3.9x).
Since then I have added some features and compatibility for the newer PB versions (4.00-4.5x).
And fixed a lot of bugs.

Hi gnozal,

I'm using PureForm 1.99 build 409 on an Windows 7 (32 bit) system as admin. After creating a menu, PureForm crash down with the following message:

===========
Error n° C0000005
An attemped read or write to/from an address to which that process isn't allowed.

Module:
c:\PureBasic394\Programm\PureFORM_Plus_Integrator_MenuXP.pb; Line :11290

The current project will be saved as....
===========

Without creating a menu PureForm is runnig without a failure.
What is wrong? The folder that is described in the message above, isn't on my system!

Hello exit. That directory is where Gnozal's PureForm code is kept and compiled from on his system and doesn't have anything to do with your error, it does not have to exist on your computer.

Don't worry, Gnozal always fixes things fast.

It crashes at the end of the windows callback. Unfortunately, this is not very informative.
I can't reproduce it on WinXP.

After creating a menu, PureForm crash down

When exactly ?
Immediately after clicking on 'Ok' in the Menu builder ?

I have uploaded a debug build : http://gnozal.ucoz.com/PureFORM_Debug.zip
Please post the console debugger window content when it crashes.

Hi gnozal,

the described chrash was on two notebooks. At first with Windows XP professional then also at another Notebook with Win 7.
The effect was at both systems the same. But I don't know the exact "chrash message" from the XP-system. The chrash was after creating a menu, unfortunately I can't tell you the moment.

Today I can open the projekt CRASH[20101130-200300]Lauf......pbf without a failure

Also a new testproject to simulate this failure is still running.

At last I adjust the settings of PureForm.exe
-> not run in XPcompatible mode
-> Don't (PureForm.exe) work as an admin
Could this be the solution

Code: Select all

I have uploaded a debug build : http://gnozal.ucoz.com/PureFORM_Debug.zip
Please post the console debugger window content when it crashes.

Okay, when I have these chrash once again, I will post the information from the debugger.

best regards

Hi gnozal

I have not been using PureFORM for long but it's been fantastic, very easy to use - a great design with some very special features. I'd like it to be PB's official form designer.

I don't know how one would track this problem but, 'out of the blue', it sometimes simply locks-up - especially if I have stopped using it to browse through my emails or work with another app. Once this has happened, I have to kill the process. I'm using PureFORM v1.99 409 on WinXP SP3 32bit.

Hi gnozal,

as PureFORM really rocks, there is still a feature that I would like to see: a fast properties assistant

As for many developer, one of the most annoying things is to create the properties-dialogs. Some text-fields, dropdown boxes, checkboxes and options need to get placed on a window and all of them need alignment, enumeration identifiers etc. They also may be placed on multiple tabs on a panel gadget. The cloning feature of PureFORM is helpful, but not enough.

It would be great to have an editor to simply name the propertys, choose the types (text, dropdown, chackbox and options), optionally set a group assignment (for tabs in a panel), and PureFORM will generate all needed text-gadgets, string-gadgets etc. with good named enumerations. Maybe we can choose between two or more layout styles (text above element or left of element etc.).

Was that description clear and understandable? That would have helped me so many times...

Thanks

Hello gnozal,

i mean this realy honest; i want / need an (in future some more...) special adjustmets / updates from you for your fine pureFORM.

Are you ready for this?

And what i mean whis honest; i am really ready to pay for that. Do you have PayPal?

I need no Bill und i can pay like "donation". So you have no special Commitments.

And your update is not for me alone. Anyone can use it!

------------

Your last modification is very fine. Particularly the way, to configure it in the INI File is fine.

Can you programm / update the following, perheps with control with the INI File?

"click with left mouse button on any Gadget will open the code injection window, and show the associated code".

Thank you very much.

I don't get exactly what you want.
Maybe you could write some generic code to show me, and I will try to merge the code to PureFORM.

If the code-infusion window is inactive, you can already open it by right-clicking on a gadget and selecting "Code infusion" in the context menu.
If the code-infusion window is active, left-clicking on a gadget selects the gadget in the code-infusion window.
In normal mode, the left-click is used to draw / move / resize gadgets.

Hi gnozal,

I have no code, but here is an example:


It will be great to have something like a table (upper image) to define the needed fields and the desired field-names. Some default-value and the caption will be needed, too. The "Tab" value defines the tab on which the property must be located (empty means no panel-gadget). The lower image is the result of the given table. There will be more parameters needed (like dimensions and percentage of middle or captions above the fields etc.). But this is the initial idea. After this has been done, the most work is done and the rest is finetuning...

The gadgets must be named enumerated exactly like in the table. The caption gadgets (string) may get enumerated like "#strFirstName_caption" etc.

Ok, I get it.
I will put this in the idea box.
