PureFORM 1.99 (yet another FORM designer)

[gnozal]

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

It's a matter of taste, I'd say.

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 don't know.
Try the project below : there are 3 toolbars on the same window.

Code: Select all

Copy the 'code' and use PureFORM:Menu->Edit->Load project from clipboard.

Hi gnozal,

thanks.

I have load it, and check it out.

I will work the same way, that i have find out before.

Your sample; it is possible to change the toolbar on the containers_0,
but not the toolbar on the container_1,
and not the toolbaar on the back of the window_0

Do not know why: the Menü which should apper by click right will not apear (only on Container_0).

Can you in your own sample call the Menü (...to call "code injection) for the Container_1 or the Toolbaar on the back of the Window_0?

In my example, to edit the toolbar for :
- Window #1 : right click on the window (not on a gadget) -> select 'Edit toolbar'
                OR deselect any container [hit the escape button] and click on the 'Tool' button in the gadget bar.
- Container #1 or #2 : right click on container -> select 'Edit toolbar'
                OR select container [container's edge is blue] and click on the 'Tool' button in the gadget bar.

Hello gnozal,

in my Hard- und Software it is not possible, like you discribe.

But it will work with other ways.

Thanks.

I put in 4 options; this worked fine.
I then realized I had to add a 5th.
this 5th act independently.
I looked at the properties, nothing to indicate that it should belong to an existing group of options...
I looked at the code - thinking they might need to be aligned a certain way -- all lined up nicely.
I renamed the option to be in the series. No go.
I then moved the option up to the rest (in code) and it works now.

But each time I generate code using PureForm -- I have to remember to g back and move that line of code around.

is there a way to fix this in pureform?
When I tried to "Read source" PureForm complained about the source not being part of a project.

[jassing]

Eureka -- resetting the tab order fixed that issue.

What would happen if I had two sets of radio buttons "next to each other" (like two columns of options) -- and the tab order is set -- they'd all appear as one group.
how would you distinguish them?

You could use a Frame3D ?

[jassing]

Thanks -- but I meant code wise.
Let's say I have these options in two rows:

[ ] Blue [ ] Green [ ] Brown
[ ] Male [ ] Female

Since they are all one right after another, how do I allow users to pick from both rows? as it stands they appear to be able only to select one item.

Hi Jassing

You can use containers:

Code: Select all

#Win   = 0
#Opts1 = 1
#Opts2 = 2

Procedure Opts()
;---------------

If OpenWindow(#Win, 0, 0, 160, 250, "Options Gadgets", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_TitleBar | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

       ContainerGadget(#Opts1, 0,   0, 140, 120,#PB_Container_BorderLess) ; Posn Relative to Window
          OptionGadget(10,    30,  30,  60,  20, "Blue")                  ; Posn Relative to Container
          OptionGadget(11,    30,  60,  60,  20, "Green")
          OptionGadget(12,    30,  90,  60,  20, "Brown")
        SetGadgetState(10, 1)
       CloseGadgetList()

       ContainerGadget(#Opts2, 0, 120, 140, 80,#PB_Container_BorderLess) ; Posn Relative to Window
          OptionGadget(20,    30,   0,  60, 20, "Male")                  ; Posn Relative to Container
          OptionGadget(21,    30,  30,  60, 20, "Female")
        SetGadgetState(20, 1)
       CloseGadgetList()

EndIf

EndProcedure

Opts()

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent(1) = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

I wanted to rename some gadgets to give them more meaning.
I could rename them in pureform -- but I would have to edit each and every one of the code sections -- I tried opening them in uedit32 and doing a mass rename, this yeilded an unusable pbfi file.
Is there a way to rename a gadget and have that name propagate to the code?

When you update a constant in PureFORM, all the generated code is updated, except the code you added manually via code infusion.
I could add this as a feature. I will see.

[jassing]

Right -- so as I change a gadget's name; I have to then go thru all the source to ensure it's also changed.... That would be most helpful.

Another thing I found is "copy gadget" (or clone gadget) doesn't copy the associated code with it...
Thanks.

Update

Changes :
- When you rename a gadget (enumeration constant) in gadget properties, the code you added manually via code infusion is now also updated

Awesome change! thanks.

An additional note : since the infused code is plain text, PureFORM is performing a simple ReplaceString().
