PureFORM 1.99 (yet another FORM designer)

[gnozal]

Update (build 378)

Changes :
- the (gadget) disabled and/or hidden states are now saved with the form.
- added new context menu items : 'Hide/Show Gadget group' and 'Disable/Enable Gadget group'.
  All gadgets in the selected group are hidden / disabled.
This can be handy if you have several layers of gadgets.

Gnozal you are simply amazing! You've just saved me a lot of work and at least for me made PureFORM even more useful. Thank you.

Hi Gnozal!

Do you want me to post bugs/suggestions here or in a new topic? Maybe I should just keep my mouth shut...

Anyways, here I go: I have noticed an issue with Dock gadget->Fill client area when used with PanelGadgets. When I place another gadget, for example a Frame3DGadget, in a PanelGadget and try to make it fill the client area - it appears to fill a slightly wider area. The same thing with other gadgets.

As always, thank you for making PureFORM available to the PB community.

Best Regards,

Seems to be a theme issue, works ok in NT4/XP with themes disabled.
I have uploaded build 381, which I hope should correct the issue.

Hi Gnozal,

I have tried build 381 with themes under windows xp and also windows 7. On my computers It looks the same as before. Without themes it's ok though.

Strange, I get this, which seems ok to me :(Fill panelgadget client area with frame3D).

Hi Gnozal!

It looks rather ok when you design it but I think it is because the blue frame hides how it really looks. If you run it you can't see the right border of the frame3D. I have tried the same design in Borland Turbo C++ and Microsoft Express Edition and with them it is possible to see the whole frame even with themes. Maybe it is just the way it works in PureBasic? No big deal really - just a little surprising. Anyways, thanks for your effort.

Ah, I get it now : it's ok in the form but not in the executed code.
Maybe it's because PureFORM is written in PB3.94 and you execute the code in PB4.40 ?
Once PureFORM has been upgraded to PB4.xx (so much to do, so little time...), maybe it will be fixed.

@Gnozal:
Well, I did execute it with PB 4.40. It works just fine with 4.31. Sorry for wasting your time with this. / Storck

The same code works with PB4.31 and not with PB4.40b5 ?
Some kind of panelgadget bug / new feature with PB4.40 then ?

Hi gnozal,

when I change a windows-theme, PureForm will open always all windows.
Do you can confirm it ?

BTW: I use Vista 32bit version.

Can you use some PureForm Forms and Part Purebasic codes or does it have to be all PureForm or Purebasic that makes your Program. If you can use both how can you combine the 2?

You mean when you are changing themes, '[x] Show only selected windows does not work' ?
I can't confirm this on XP.

You can use PureFORM with any Purebasic code : just copy / paste the generated code (showed in the 'Code view' window) in your source, or use the PureFORM generated code as an include (like with VD).
