Form Designer 5.10

[luciano]

When I installed PB 5 , the link in the ide still opened the old VD, I had to correct it manually.
I suppose that some users never realized that there was a new software hidden in the folder.

So the problem is only the grid not drawn correctly?
Because the actual gadgets both in the FD and in your compiled example looks correctly positionned.
The grid drawing should be fixed for next version (only happened on the Windows skin)

No the problem is when resizing the window you're function adds +2 onto the Width and Height.

Normal: 600x400
Resize: 700x500 => 702x502

It doesn't need the 2 extra pixels. And no the form is not even its too wide on the right side like I shown you in the last photo (look closer the form is wider on the right side of the progress control then the left). That is because you are padding the form 2px in Height and Width. This causes the form to stick out +2px from the controls on your form. To fix this all you have to do is remove the +2px your designer adds when resizing the window. Then it will be perfect, instead of resizing like 600x400 => 612x412 => 622x422 => etc.

You should have said it's when resizing the window
Fixed.

Thanks for the comment guys!

The ribbon has been criticised a lot and I can understand why, as it's not really easy to switch from gadgets to gadgets, so I've added a gadget list under the property grid for next version. The ribbon buttons will remain as well for now, so you'll just use whichever you like best!

Yes, me for example.

I was astonished myself when I saw the thread in the German forum... pretty negative comments about the designer. Is it the famous "German mentality"?!

If there are two or more windows and "FormDesigner" mode "Code View" and if you remove one window, it displays the form, not "Code View".

Fixed, thanks!

If I want to change the colour in the window, it is not enough them
To change colour. One must give afterwards every time with Caption a new name for the window once more. Is this right?

I'm not sure I understand that? Are you using the latest version? (ie the one on my website?)

Changing window colour or window caption works fine here.

Sorry my english. This ist the new version.
I've seen, if i change color to blue, but this windows is white.
If i resize your FormDesigner, color change into this Window from
white to blue.

Some more bugreport (linux!)

- The GUI ignores sometimes the release of mouse, so i have problems to resize a gadget like on windows.
(PB-Problem?)
- The Font in CodeView is to big.
- Scrolling the source in CodeView is extrem slow.

Greetings - Thomas

// edit
confirmed the bug from falko, the same on linux!

Thanks Thomas.
I'm aware of the mouse release problem, however I cannot do much about it, might be a bug in the Linux canvas?

Should be fixed in next release!

Okay, i think better keyboard-support like Shift+Right to change the width or Shift+Down to change the height
is an alternate for this problem?
