PureFORM 1.99 (yet another FORM designer)

[glops]

Well, as all of my previous versions of Pureform and CodeInfusion were and are running, there is no way for me to run the last version....
Ok I didn't follow all the versions, but....
Same problems on XP, XP Pro, Windows 7...does not save option Scintilla, does not find Scintilla.dll even, no Code Infusion...
Sad....

Same problems on XP, XP Pro, Windows 7...does not save option Scintilla, does not find Scintilla.dll even, no Code Infusion...

As stated in the manual (Main -> Preferences -> 'Use Scintilla in CodeView' paragraph) :
"If no valid PB4 installation is found, PureFORM searches for Scintilla.dll and SyntaxHilighting.dll in its own directory)."

Furthermore, the error messages in 'Configuration' give you a hint :
"Missing library : Scintilla.dll not found !", "(Should be in PureFORM's folder or in %PB%\Compilers\)" etc...

So if there is no valid PB registry entry, you may copy Scintilla.dll and SyntaxHilighting.dll to PureFORM's directory and it should work.

Why PureFORM doesn't find a registry entry, I don't know : Se7en issue, UAM issue, PB files copied and not installed, PB run in portable mode, ...?

Purebasic (x64) installed on a new directory directly from download
Pureform installed as described
No more message of Scintilla...blabla
.ini file of Pureform updated (date & hour changed) flag useScintilla = 1
BUT use Scintilla Option always goes to initial value when I open Pureform...
on Windows 7
and NO CODE INFUSION

1. Do you use x86 or x64 PB version ?
2. Depending on PB version,
2.1 If x64, install PB x86 version and set compiler path to x86 compiler. PureFORM is x86 and cannot load 64 bit DLLs.
2.2 If x86, did you copy Scintilla.dll and SyntaxHilighting.dll to PureFORM's directory ?
     Alternatively, you may specify the compiler path in Preferences.

[glops]

ok....
With Purebasic x86 on Windows 7.... it runs....
Will use it to create the code and then compile it with x64 if needed
Thanks for your support ! Maybe one future version will be x64 compatible !! At least I'm not crazy !

I have added some extra checks to build 410.
PureFORM now checks if the PB compiler and/or the DLLs are valid x86 executables.

Hi Gnozal.
I'm getting "Error C0000005 An attempted read/write ...."
Module ´C:\PureBasic394\Program\Pureform_Plus_Integrator_MenuXP.pb; Line 34761" of lately.
right while loading a project.

This occurs with PureFORM 1.99.410.0 as well as with 1.99.409.0,
wheras 1.99.405.0 still seems to be working fine.
1.99.409 used to work fine for quite some time, then out of a sudden, the error occurred.
Last change to the project was the removal of a button and insertion of a simple checkbox gadget.

1.99.405.0 is basically ok, but provokes "the dreaded CreateGadgetlist" warning.

OS is win 7x64, the Compiler path setting points to the 32 Bit version in the Program x86 path.

Thanks.
I can reproduce this if the gadget properties and/or the integrator are hidden : PureFORM tries to write to a nonexistent gadget.
If it didn't crash with previous versions, it was pure luck.

Should be fixed in build 411.

Hi Gnozal.
Thanks, looking forward to the arrival of 411, then.

I'm in the office at work now, but as far as I can remember,
neither "gagdet properties" nor "integrator" are hidden,
but I'll check when I'm back home.

If that is anything to you, the error may have coincided with Microsoft's last patch day,
that same evening, I also made said changes to those gadgets, while often going to and fro
between the code of the application and PureFORM.

[gnozal]

Build 411 is uploaded.

[Captn. Jinguji]

And the error is gone.
Thank you very much, Gnozal.

[Captn. Jinguji]

Well, I'm using separate window with just one gadget - a webgadget.
When I enable Extras->Resize, the linker throws "unresolved external _PB_ StringBasePosition" at me.
Gadget is set to be locked bottom left, but even unsetting those locks dors not remove the error codition
Used PureForm 411 and - just to be sure - today's version of PureResize.

[gnozal]

When I enable Extras->Resize, the linker throws "unresolved external _PB_ StringBasePosition" at me.

This kind of error may occur if you use the wrong userlibrary version (for example compile an exe with threadsafe using standard library version).
Assuming you are using the PB IDE, you have to enable the 'UserLibThreadSafe' subsystem if you compile a threadsafe app (see 'unicode_thread-safe' topic in PureRESIZE.chm).

[Captn. Jinguji]

Oh, sorry to have bothered you with that one.
True, Create Threadsafe Excutable Flag was set,
but I missed out the subsystem thing.
Thanks again.

Hello gnozal,

i have some generell questions;

1.) what is the "normal" or the "perfekt" place for toolbars, create with you toolbar builder?

On the back of the window (window_0 / first window)?
Direkty lay it down on this window, or bette on an container?

2.) When i put it direktly to the first window, an then put an container on that window, to create an second toolbar, then i can not chance the first toolbar.

What goes wrong?

I wish you a merry christmas, i wish you a merry christmas, i wish you a merry christmas, and a happy new year

.....you want to hear that? o.k. i can play it to you with an trombone
