New flags for gadgets

Post by doctorized »

I do not know if my wish is posted again in the past, but I think that some new flags should be added for most of the gadgets.
My suggestions:
1) Multi line for all of gadgets, not only for button gadget.
2) Text support with image for Button image gadget.
3) Auto resize for all gadgets.
4) Change color (front and back color) for all gadgets.
5) Get gadget x, y, width and height.

I know that all of them can be accompliced with some custom procedures and call backs but it would be nice to do them easier.

Hello doctorized

5) Get gadget x, y, width and height - already implemented:
Get H W X Y

(1), (2) and 4() Definitely needed but can't be done unless PB is moved away from the OS native gadgets (Windows at least). What PB really needs is it's own cross platform low level gadget library, but that would take a lot of time and money - and expertise.

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.
