Form Designer 5.10

[Polo]

beta 1 is available (see first message), feel free to test!

Looks really good - I especially like the ribbon bar along the top.

When selecting/defining attributes, having to double-click becomes a bit onerous.

If I change the var name of an Object (may be that should be 'Gadget') in properties, it often doesn't 'stick', instead it returns to the default name in the Objects tree, but retains the new name in the Code Viewer.

The list doesn't get updated, fixed for next beta

True, I'll try to change that.

Awesome work. Very well done. Is the ribbon control based upon a canvas gadget?

A couple of bugs I've noticed : place a control on a window and then resize the window so that it's bottom edge lies above the bottom of the button (which means that part of the button should be hidden) and you will find that the whole button is still rendered, partly outside of the window!

Place a button inside a container. First I cannot seem to select the container with a mouse click. Second, move the button around and the button's position seems to drift further and further from the cursor position.

Great job though; it looks great.

Yes, almost everything is Canvas based

A couple of bugs I've noticed : place a control on a window and then resize the window so that it's bottom edge lies above the bottom of the button (which means that part of the button should be hidden) and you will find that the whole button is still rendered, partly outside of the window!

Well spotted, will correct that!

You can select a container by clicking on its edges (as clicking inside the container is reserved to create gadgets inside it)

Second, move the button around and the button's position seems to drift further and further from the cursor position.

True, will check that, thanks!

This is changed to a single click for next beta.

Hi

Looks neat Don't have the time to test the whole thing at the moment,
bit I noticed a bug: the program crashes if you place a control and then resize it to zero or below in width or height.


Keep up the good work!


Edit:
In addition (but not a bug, rather a missing feature): you can't place controls starting from the top right dragging them
to the bottom left to set the initial size.

Thanks all, I added all bugs to my buglist, new beta to follow once all is fixed

Looks good

There is a bug with create scintilla:

Code: Select all

Scintilla_0 = ScintillaGadget(#PB_Any, 190, 100, 260, 170, )

[Polo]

All reported bugs should be fixed in beta 2

Resize the window to have a height of say 40.

You can then draw out a new control outside of the window! That is, you can start the click and drag sizing outside of the window - which looks a bit odd!

Oops! Beta 3 is up!

Thank you Polo, for this nice software.
I am testing it with #PB_ANY disbled and I realized that same constant names are repeated twice in Image gadgets (in this example it is #Image_0).

Code: Select all

Enumeration
  #Window_0
EndEnumeration

Enumeration
  #Text_0
  #Image_0
  #Text_1
EndEnumeration

UsePNGImageDecoder()

Enumeration
  #Image_0
EndEnumeration

LoadImage(#Image_0,"C:\ZZZZ_Piel_XT\Explorer\Phone_sEnd.png")

Procedure InitWindow_0()
  OpenWindow(#Window_0, 0, 0, 600, 400, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_MinimizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_TitleBar)
  TextGadget(#Text_0, 250, 30, 180, 170, "")
  ImageGadget(#Image_0, 50, 30, 150, 90, ImageID(#Image_0))
  TextGadget(#Text_1, 70, 210, 190, 150, "")
EndProcedure

InitWindow_0()

Repeat
  event = WaitWindowEvent()
  
  Select event
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      Select EventGadget()
        Case #Text_0
          
        Case #Image_0
          
        Case #Text_1
          
      EndSelect
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow
      Select EventWindow()
        Case #Window_0
          CloseWindow(#Window_0)
      EndSelect
  EndSelect
  
Until event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow
End

Thanks Luciano, fixed for next beta

Don't hesitate to report bugs/ask for feature on the Visual Designer forum, it'll be easier to track them up!

I sent a donation by Amex with PayPal.
I hope you will receive it correctly, I got a confirmation e-mail with my address not correctly reported (my Country is Italy not France) but everything else should be OK.
If you have any problem with this, I will try to correct it.
Sorry I have no experience with PayPal

P.s.
viewforum.php?f=18 seems to be Purebasic editor, not Visual editor thread.
