updated: Simple and useful form layout designer for DBase / SQLite and others

[moricode]

Now Upgrade to the new advance version 1.10 :

I use this tools to build DBase IV / SQLite Record View/Edit forms , save the design layout, load the layout position in your database program and read the SQLite table and put in the layout field, it is very convenience . before this , i was hardcode the record fields position by hand .


Feature added :
1. Added selection box for easy multiple object selection
2. Added [Select ALL],[Select Label], [Select Edit] Button for fast selection
3. use proper mouse icon when mouse hover over Selected Objects/ Object Resize Corner
4. Fixed new object placement position , now it will not overlaps or cover other objects when add new
5. smart object placement start from vertical direction first then to next horizontal column if reach canvas bottom
6. Fixed to smooth object movement , no more jerky step

scroll down this page , or here
Updated Version 1.10 :
viewtopic.php?t=88159#p649901

The OLD V1.0 code is still remain here for new people to compare the code and test it , may be you find some use too.

Self explain code , simple modification can do flow chart designer or event other use in your own application , eg. powerpoint is not a dream ...
Example code for learning purpose
just do what you want , don't mention ...

best regards

[Nudgy]

Thanks for sharing. This is a nice example.

Only one minor issue I noticed: The following function does not work and I cannot find it in the documentation: GetAsyncKeyState_

If the conditional is commented out, the application compiles.

[Kwai chang caine]

Perhaps you have a demo version of PB
GetAsyncKeyState_() is an API window
Like all the function who finish with the underscore _
With demo version i believe you cannot use them

[Nudgy]

I have the full version

But I use Linux. Maybe GetAsyncKeyState_() refers to Win API?

[moricode]

I have the full version

But I use Linux. Maybe GetAsyncKeyState_() refers to Win API?

yes , it is windows api , not linux ..

[Axolotl]

Thanks for sharing.
Some thought (if you dont mind)
Hint: I recommend to use .i instead of .l (advantage: you don't need to write that (only in structures))

Observation: When moving objects, it is very jerky.

Suggestion:
Since GetAsyncKeyState_() is the only WinAPI function, it can be easily customized.

Code: Select all

CanvasGadget(#Canvas_Designer, 10, 10, 700, 550, #PB_Canvas_Keyboard)  ; add Keyboard flag

A Bug fix for Error on click in an empty canvas (empty list): (see below my changes)

Code: Select all

Procedure FindObjectAt(X.l, Y.l)
  idx = ListSize(Objects()) - 1
  LastElement(Objects())
  
  If idx > -1   ; Axolotl -> check for empty list 
  Repeat
    If X >= Objects()\X And X <= Objects()\X + Objects()\Width And 
       Y >= Objects()\Y And Y <= Objects()\Y + Objects()\Height
      ProcedureReturn idx
    EndIf
    idx - 1
  Until Not PreviousElement(Objects())
  EndIf ; Axolotl 
  
  ProcedureReturn -1
EndProcedure

Now Upgrade to the new advance version 1.10 :

I use this tools to build DBase IV / SQLite Record View/Edit forms , save the design layout, load the layout position in your database program and read the SQLite table and put in the layout field, it is very convenience . before this , i was hardcode the record fields position by hand .


Feature added :
1. Added selection box for easy multiple object selection
2. Added [Select ALL],[Select Label], [Select Edit] Button for fast selection
3. use proper mouse icon when mouse hover over Selected Objects/ Object Resize Corner
4. Fixed new object placement position , now it will not overlaps or cover other objects when add new
5. smart object placement start from vertical direction first then to next horizontal column if reach canvas bottom
6. Fixed to smooth object movement , no more jerky step


Updated Version 1.10 :

Code: Select all

; Visual Form Designer in PureBasic 5.7x , 6.1x , 6.2x

Update :New version 1.2 pro

; version v1.2:
; simplify the object struct
; remove ObjectSnapshot() , with better dragging design
; Improve the redrawObject() when in drag/Resize move , draw the dynamic dragging and sizing preview
; limit move object in left bound and top bound
; improve robustness of LoadDesign() logic
; Added minimum object size 20x20 limit check
; Remove unuse variable
Todo :
; Store chace Total_select when done select , this calculate once not everytime call CheckTotalSelected() function

Code: Select all

; Visual Form Designer in PureBasic 5.7x , 6.1x , 6.2x

IDEA: I'm not sure if it's a rule, but I think it's good practice to include a brief history in the first post when updating.
Advantage: you/we can see the current status at a glance.
See as an example mk-soft's posts like Window ListIconGadget With Owner Data (Very Fast).

That's right. But since a certain level I take the development level I shorten it in the first post.
The update information can be read further in the following contributing also understandable.
Always with version information and changes.
With win API I sometimes also made changes that were taken back again. Go Back To Version.
