hbox fails inside frame

[jacdelad]

Hi,
I don't know if this is a bug or I'm doing something wrong. It worked before (<6.10 Beta 7, so I think this is a bug. If so, please move to bug section.

Modified example from the help:

Code: Select all

  #Dialog = 0
  #Xml = 0
  
  XML$ = "<window id='#PB_Any' name='test' text='test' minwidth='auto' minheight='auto' flags='#PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget'>" +
         "          <frame text='Export'>" +
         "            <hbox>" +
         "            </hbox>" +
         "          </frame>" +
         "</window>"
  
  If ParseXML(#Xml, XML$) And XMLStatus(#Xml) = #PB_XML_Success
    
    If CreateDialog(#Dialog) And OpenXMLDialog(#Dialog, #Xml, "test")
      
      Repeat
        Event = WaitWindowEvent()
      Until Event = #PB_Event_CloseWindow 
      
    Else  
      Debug "Dialog error: " + DialogError(#Dialog)
    EndIf
  Else
    Debug "XML error: " + XMLError(#Xml) + " (Line: " + XMLErrorLine(#Xml) + ")"
  EndIf

this code fails, when I put a hbox (or maybe other elements) into a frame. Tested with Windows 10/both backends/x86 and x64.

AH, I oversaw that. Seems like I need to wait for Beta 8. Thanks, mk-soft!

I stopped using the dialog library because I found a bug that prevented me from doing what I needed, some time later I started it again and another bug prevented me from continuing, since then I no longer use it and I make my UIs with IceDesign.

[jacdelad]

As good as IceDesign is (and it's really good), I now prefer dialogs, because some thing happen here automatically. But I agree, that I'd love to see an overhaul, because you need some tricks to certain stuff (like gadgets with additional windows flags and such).

...because some thing happen here automatically.

If you refer to things like: Hbox, Vbox... IceDesign and her proportional relative to parent can do (almost) most of them.
But... yeah anyone should use the most interesting to him

Automatic resizing/rearranging too?

Automatic resizing/rearranging too?

Yes! well, not full rearanging, you must try to know if it works for you
