Pure Vision

Hi all,
Well, I bought a copy of Pure Vision. I just noticed this with Pure Vision and the PB Visual Editor. While they can create the event loop, they cannot update to adapt to changes, they overwrite the event loop. That and these widgets don't auto resize if the window size changes. Err, Gadgets. No auto resizing on window size change, that just seriously sucks. I guess I have to manual code that in. What a shame.

Here's some nice code to ease the pain

Hmm, apparently someone didn't read through the PureVision help file (topic: Dynamic Form/Gadget Resizing) which tells you step by step how to do it properly.

When placing gadgets on a form in PureVision, if you want the gadget to be auto sized with the form you must set up the autosize properties.

The form itself has properties to allow autosizing horizontally, vertically or both. Then each gadget has properties to allow sizing or moving with the form. Once your project has been exported with an event loop to get you going, you can return to your project at any time, add/modify gadgets and then export the changes without destroying your main code loop.

Heck, if you would have asked for PureVision related help in the PureVision forum (http://www.reelemedia.org/purevision) you would have been directed to http://www.norcomcable.ca/~reelmedia/do ... zedemo.wmv
which is an online video showing step by step how to create dynamic sizing forms.

PureVision does all the work for you!! No need for extra bloated code

If you read the help file that comes with PVGadgets, it will explain the commands that PureVision is using so you can understand what's going on in the auto generated code.

In the future, to protect yourself from looking silly, it's always good to actually read the help that comes with a product and then if you have questions post them in the appropriate forum for that product.

Thanks.

but actually paul is right. It is in the manual.

but paul is also in his right to be a little hard, cause he says that it sucks that those functions arent there, even though he just didnt read the helpfile.

now where the heck is that "RTMF" gif

we really need that in the list of smileys to the left when you write a post

Not that you couldnt use it on my self though.

One thing you people do not know is I did see that in the docs and stuff but it does not work. I rtfm before I go off and rant and make an ass of myself. But hey, this is off topic, so why not have a little fun. Apparently a few of you have no sense of humor. Life's short people enjoy it while you can. If it means posting something totally irrlevant into a off topic forum then hey, do it. PureVision's auto size is broken at least for me. However the code that I was reffered to works.

Oh, and have any of you seen my site, go on hit the button. Then come back and try and tell me I don't rtfm.

Once again, go step by step through the help file or watch the training video to find out what step you are missing.

Or you can send the 3 files that were generated to purevision@reelmedia.org and I can tell you what you missed.

As I have already stated, if you are having a problem just ask on the appropriate forum and we can get you all straightened out. 99% of any problem is due to user error.

If you want a pucker ADE for PureBasic (for Windows) with event handlers etc... get PBDev from:

www.hellobasic.com

I have purchased both PureVision and PBDev, both are good but in my humble opinion PBDev definitely has the edge.

It is a complete ADE rather than just a form designer.

I have to agree weavster, the event handling works pretty well. Once you understand Edwin's flow, it's darned easy to whip up a program.

I'll bet PBDev will get a good overhaul when PB 4.0 comes out.

I ever tell you people I love you people? I saw a note about PureVision and PB 3.91 and the resize crap not working. Whoa the room is spinning.

Kake, i have found out why u cant use the automatic rezizing. U need to compile code. paul says in his video. oh yes u can test it, but you cant let the mouse go. then the gadgets will go to the original place again. But you can compile the code, and then it should work. Remember to add a size gadget to the form.
