Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

"automatically hide the panel" only with no pressed mouse

Post by Josh »

When I'm working on a smaller screen, the function "automatically hide the panel" for hiding the tool-panel is very useful. Problem is, if I'm scrolling with the right scrollbar, I often touch the reduced tool-panel and this opens. Very annoying.

Please change that the tool-panel only open, if no mouse button is pressed.

perhaps it is a solution for you to place the panel on the left side?

You can also set the timeout before it opens, so moving the mouse there temporarily, won't trigger it.
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.

I tried it, but I'm a creature of habit :mrgreen:
It's no good solution for me. At my main machine at home (on a wide screen) I have my taskbar on the left side and then the problem is only displaced. I use this preferences on each machine, so I have my taskbar always left. Furthermore I hate the jumping code.

No, I can only set a timeout for closing.

My bad; you're right. Been a while since I set my timeout and I thought it was for opening because I set it 0, and it opens immediately when I move the mouse over it.
