Form Designer 5.10

[luciano]

I have found a strange bug with the Designer 5.00 beta3 (as supplied with PB beta3 download):
If I open this pbf file with the option "generate event loop" in preferences, the last part of

Code: Select all

; Form Designer for Purebasic - 5.0
; Warning: this file uses a strict syntax, if you edit it, make sure to respect the Form Designer limitation or it won't be opened again.

Global ButtonImage_0

Global Img_0

Enumeration #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue
  #Window_secret
EndEnumeration

Enumeration #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue
  #String_primo
  #String_secondo
  #Editor_Messaggio
EndEnumeration

UsePNGImageDecoder()

Img_0 = CatchImage(#PB_Any,?img_0)

Enumeration #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue
  #Font_0
EndEnumeration

LoadFont(#Font_0,"Arial", 8)

Procedure InitWindow_secret()
  OpenWindow(#Window_secret, 0, 0, 350, 270, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_Tool)
  StringGadget(#String_primo, 10, 230, 60, 30, "", #PB_String_Numeric)
  SetGadgetColor(#String_primo, #PB_Gadget_BackColor,RGB(255,255,128))
  SetGadgetFont(#String_primo, FontID(#Font_0))
  StringGadget(#String_secondo, 90, 230, 60, 30, "", #PB_String_Numeric)
  SetGadgetColor(#String_secondo, #PB_Gadget_BackColor,RGB(255,255,128))
  SetGadgetFont(#String_secondo, FontID(#Font_0))
  ButtonImage_0 = ButtonImageGadget(#PB_Any, 170, 210, 48, 48, ImageID(Img_0))
  EditorGadget(#Editor_Messaggio, 10, 10, 330, 190, #PB_Editor_ReadOnly)
EndProcedure

Procedure Window_secret_Events(event)
  Select event
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      Select EventGadget()
      EndSelect
  EndSelect
EndProcedure


DataSection
  img_0: IncludeBinary "C:\ZZZZ_Ardi_Go\Explorer\check48.png"
EndDataSection

becomes:

Code: Select all

EndDataSection
  img_0: IncludeBinary "C:\ZZZZ_Ardi_Go\Explorer\check48.png"
EndDataSection

i.e. two "enddatasection" statements.

Excuse me but i have not the courage to read the 32 pages.
I have try your splendid works.
Have have two questions perhaps already answered
1/ Have you thinking to purpose the choice of the number of tabulation ?
Personaly i use only one tabulation

Code: Select all

Enumeration #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue
 #Container_0
 #Button_0
 #Text_0
 #Panel_0
 #Button_1
EndEnumeration

not two

Code: Select all

Enumeration #PB_Compiler_EnumerationValue
  #Container_0
  #Button_0
  #Text_0
  #Panel_0
  #Button_1
EndEnumeration

2/ I have not find how adding a panel in panelgadget, is it possible ?
And if it's not possible, have you thinking to create it, and is it possible to see each panel by clic on it ?? (Difficult to explain )

[Polo]

To add a panel item, just do a right click on the panel.
About the tabulation, I will use the preference value in the IDE when the designer will be included in it, meanwhile it will stay to 2 spaces

Strange i have try that also
Perhaps i have not enough see

Code: Select all

About the tabulation, I will use the preference value in the IDE web the designer will be included in it, meanwhile it will stay to 2 spaces

It's the reason why, i have tested your program directly without installing the V5

Thanks POLO, and again congratulation for your great works.

Once it is integrated in the IDE I'll probably write a bunch of help files so that those kind of options are easier to find

[Kwai chang caine]

I have found for the TAB..
Really a great job you have do.
In the old IDE this option lacked
Thanks to you it's easy to create a TabGadget

Once it is integrated in the IDE I'll probably write a bunch of help files so that those kind of options are easier to find

Yes, but perhaps you can also give the choice to the user to modify it ?
Take by default the IDE value, if there is an IDE (like in my case no IDE detected else choose 2 like value), and if the user modify the field, take the choice of the Designer.
Like this your application can to be independant

It's just my advice

Beta 5.00 2.3

TabGadget

after adding a Command Button to TabGadget
the "Edit Items" choice disappears on the TabGadget ,

to add another Tab on the TabGadget ,
you then need to use mouse to right-click on
one of the resizing squares on the TabGadget , and the "Edit Items" choice re-appears in the popup Menu

if you right-click on the main body of the TabGadget , the "Edit Items" choice is not there.

Hi Polo,

great work so far !!!

But I've found some Bugs (Version 5.00 beta 3 - Windows):

1. It is not possible to place a Checkbox-Gadget on a Panel-Gadget when there is a Frame3D Container there! I usually group multiple Checkbox-Gadgets with a Frame/Container ...

2. The Caption of a Frame3D is not readable - black background blue distorted text ... (Windows Version - didn't test any other ...).

3. Text in String-Gadget very low - with Gadget-Height 20 (normal height for Windows) only the upper half of the text is visible ...

4. Under WindowsXP there is no Ribbon-Gadget - therefore I can't reach some Functions (Z-Order ...)

Best whishes from Austria

Thanks ill have a look - are you using the my version or the one from the PB package? I understand it's not the last one there!

[luciano]

Hi Gaetan,
I think I don't know then which one is the latest
beta 3.00 or beta 2.3 from your site?
Beta 3.00 has more options in preferences (event loop, etc?); I thought it was the latest one.

[Polo]

I though the one from my website was the latest as I've heard on at least one OS the PB Package has an old version. Sorry it's a bit confusing

Hi Polo,

By the way, why don't still use enum for object creation ? I'm thinking about localization
