PureFORM 1.99 (yet another FORM designer)

[michel]

Hello Gnozal,

I am a little bit confused; I use version 434 but I dont see the flag, there are only 3 flags to select.
Other point: could you give a short example about the pureforms.flags?

kind regards

Michel

I am a little bit confused; I use version 434 but I dont see the flag, there are only 3 flags to select.

Flags and code generation are 'context sensitive' in PureFORM.
The #PB_ComboBox_Image only appears if PureFORM detects a PB version >= 4.50 and 'Generate PB4 code' is checked in preferences. Check your PB x86 compiler path in preferences.

Other point: could you give a short example about the pureforms.flags?

An example :

Code: Select all

Hello Gnozal,
If I create a listboxgadget with several columns, let's say 5, and I want to remove 1 column, how can I do that?
TIA,
Roel.

I assume you mean a listicongadget ?
Right-click on gadget, select 'Remove column'.

Hello Gnozal,

With the new version of PureFORM my icons in the panelgadget are no longer shown, but the references still exist in the parameter window?!

You mean the tab icons ?
Strange, I didn't change anything besides the new flag.
And it works here (build 436/WinXP) !?

Hello Gnozal,

I finally found the error:
I had checked the option PureColor in the Panelegadget, this is not compatible with icions in the tab bar.

I discovered another strange behaviour:
In the ListIconGadget the color mode disappears with the command "ClearGadgetItems(#ListIcon_109)"

Do you see a reason to that?

Yes, stupid me...
Thanks Gnozal.

Yes, it's a feature.
If PureCOLOR catches a #LVM_DELETEALLITEMS message, it calls PureCOLOR_ClearAllColorsForGadget().
No items = no colors.

[michel]

Hello Gnozal,

no items=no color

OK, but when I insert items after having cleared before the color does not reappear.

[gnozal]

OK, but when I insert items after having cleared before the color does not reappear.

Yes, because PureCOLOR_ClearAllColorsForGadget() clears all color settings. You have to set the colors again.

[michel]

Hello Gnozal,

I finally understood what you meant,

after CleargadgetItems...
I added PureCOLOR_SetGadgetColorEx...

Now everything works perfectly

I have a pureform project with 1/2 dozen windows.
Window#1 is defined as main.

When I open up window#2 (not a child window); it can then open up window#3 -- I want this window to have window#2 as parent, not Window#1 -- is there a way to do it pureform so I don't have to change it in the source?
