EditorGadget change font problem

Post by marc_256 »

Hello everyone,

For my robot communication program,
I like to change my font set to Courier New - 8pt.

So, I see that the command [SetGadgetFont (#PB_Default, FontID (#Font_0))] exist.
and I use it as follow ...

Snipper 1:

Code: Select all

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------		CloseWindow (#Window_0)

And the result are this:

Please try the snipper,
1) TITLE [TextGadget] text is OK -> CourierNew 8pt
2) Enter Text [StringGadget] text is OK -> CourierNew 8pt
3) Sended text [EditorGadget] text is NOK -> ??

4) Type "VERSION" in StringGadget and push [ENTER]
5) Then the EditorGadget Font is changed
6) Type again "VERSION" in StringGadget and push [ENTER]
7) And again EditorGadget Font is changed (See VERSION text)

Then I changed all the gadgets Fonts separately

Re: EditorGadget change font problem

Post by Marc56us »

Hi Marc,

It is the "Box Drawing" characters (en français: caractères "Filets") Range: 2500–257F that cause problems and give PB the wrong output (and 'random' errors). They are not well represented from one font to another.
You have to try other fonts, even if this one (Courrier News) has the "Box Drawing" characters or remove its.

When there is a font problem, Windows always tries to display something close. This means that there might be an ID problem somewhere else. (I tried some other solutions, without success. :| )

See page 1 of:

:wink:

Hello Marc56us,

thanks for your answer ...
But this is the result with the same computer PC Win8.1 x64 and PB 5.61 x64...

Image

And this is the same program in PB 5.73 LTS x64

Image

So, I think this is a PB bug in PB 5.73 LTS x64

I can be wrong ??

On my PC, SetGadgetFont (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, FontID (#Font_0)) in your Snipper 1 only works if I put it after all the AddGadgetItem (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, -1, ...) lines. That is, the EditorGadget only uses Courier when I put that line after them, and not before them.

So yes, it definitely looks like a bug to me, as SetGadgetFont() should be usable anytime after a gadget is created, without a requirement to put text in the gadget first. Or at least put this in the manual to explain that the gadget must contain text for SetGadgetFont() to take effect.

Hallo BarryG,

yes, that is what I'm thinking also ...

PB 5.61 x64 -> OK
PB 5.71 x64 -> OK
PB 5.72 x64 -> OK
PB 5.73 LTS x64 -> NOT OK

Thanks,
marc

I'm using v5.73 32-bit PureBasic, though.

I also tested, in fact it is good in the v5.72 and earlier versions but not in v5.73. It looks like a bug to me too.

By digging a bit, randomly, the error seems to be in the Gadget library
In v5.73, by replacing Gadget (in PureLibraries) by the one of v5.72, it looks good, the texts are now aligned.

It would probably be a good idea to move the topic to the bug section. To show the bug more easily, I shortened the code

Code: Select all

Enumeration
	#Window_0
	#Font_0
	#Transmitter_EditorGadget
EndEnumeration

LoadFont (#Font_0, "Courier New", 8)

If OpenWindow (#Window_0, 10, 10, 800, 148, "Test Font Alignment", #PB_Window_TitleBar | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)

		EditorGadget  (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, 4, 4, 792, 140, #PB_Editor_ReadOnly | #ES_AUTOVSCROLL)
		SetGadgetFont (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, FontID(#Font_0))

		AddGadgetItem (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, -1, "╔═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗")
		AddGadgetItem (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, -1, "║ BOBO one/two - 68000 MONITOR/DEBUGGER - Ver. 1.00                           ║")
		AddGadgetItem (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, -1, "╚═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝")

		AddGadgetItem (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, -1, "+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+")
		AddGadgetItem (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, -1, "| BOBO one/two - 68000 MONITOR/DEBUGGER - Ver. 1.00                           |")
		AddGadgetItem (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, -1, "+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+")
		
		;SetGadgetFont (#Transmitter_EditorGadget, FontID(#Font_0))
		;SendMessage_(GadgetID(#Transmitter_EditorGadget), #WM_SETFONT, FontID(#Font_0), #True)
EndIf

Repeat : Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

Hi ChrisR,

Thanks for testing ...
I already placed a link in the BUG section
