Hello gerd,

a nice GUI Designer! But I did not find a possibility to create more than one form. And is it possible to create a form from a PureBasic source code? Or is it possible to update gadget parameters in the source code, like in Pureform? Otherwise it may be difficult to modify existing projects.

Kind regards,
Lothar

Hello Lothar,

thanks for your comment.
For now only one form for each project can be created.
It is not possible to create a form from PB source code with PureDesign.

Updating gadget parameters is possible within PureDesign, if the form has been created with it and project file has been saved. Load the project file (*.pbx) and make your modifications. After that you should save it and create or update your code.

Updating existing code:
"Overwrite existing Code File" will replace the existing code file with the modified version. Any previous manual changes of your code will be lost.
"Insert without events" will replace anything above the comment: ";->Your code here. Don't remove this line!" and leave anything below the comment untouched.

Hope this helps.

I hope to release an enhanced version later this year.

Have a nice day

Hello gerd,

I have changed some gadget parameters and added two new gadgets in the designer, then I saved the project and created the code, chosing "Insert without events". I opened the code file in the PureBasic IDE, but neither the gadget parameters were changed nor the new gadgets were added, nothing has been changed. I think I will wait until to a new release.

Kind regards,
Lothar

Hello Gerd
you have the project very well continue

@ mk-soft
Thank you

@Lothar
Thanks for reporting the problem with "Insert without events". What I've found is, that under Windows it does not work, whereas under Linux it does. That's why it escaped my attention. Sorry about that.
Anyhow I found the problem and it will be fixed for the next release, which I hope to upload some time this week.

Have a nice day

gerd

gerd,

will you adapt Pure Design to new releases of PureBasic? For example, "Frame3DGadget" has been changed to "FrameGadget" (PB 5.20), I did not look for other changes.

It would also be nice if it would be possible to change the order of the gadgets in the "Viewer" window (this should also change the code accordingly) and to save the code without event loop for users who want to write their own event handling code (e.g. using the new "BindEvent"-functions).

Kind regards,
Lothar

Hi,
just uploaded a new version of PureDesign. Links in first post are updated.

V1.0.1:
Updated for PureBasic 5.20 LTS
Fixed some bugs, including "Insert without events", not working under Windows
Added "Options" to Preferences ("Enable explicit" and "Don't create event")
Added paths for project and images to Preferences

Any feedback is welcome

Have fun

works pretty well (Windows8). But I selected "Editor_ReadOnly"or "Editor_WordWrap" in the property window of an EditorGadget, and the designer did not accept it.

It does work, the only problem again is, that there are differences between Linux and Windows unfortunately.
Under Windows, at least Win7 you not only have to check the box, but also select the item ("Editor_ReadOnly"or "Editor_WordWrap"). Then it works.
For now I have no other solution, but I will see, if I can do something to change this.

Hi

I have tried it, great job !

I have had some bugs, and at the end, it was impossible to close any window ^^ (win8).
I don't know what I have done for that.

Why have you choose separate windows for the interface and not a big window with panel or window children (like photoshop for example) ?

Hi blendman,

thanks, but

I am sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying with "I have had some bugs, and at the end, it was impossible to close any window ^^ (win8)."?

May be you could explain a little bit better?

regards

I have tried your application, add some gadgets, change the window properties....
At a moment, without reason, I can't close any window (gadgets, menu or the new form created).

I have to do : ctrl + Alt+suppr to access to the taskbar and kill the application.


Sorry for my english ^^.

@[blendman]

I just did what you said, added some gadgets, a menu, a toolbar and a statusbar, but I could not reproduce your problem. I saved the code and project file at various stages and had no problem. Also closing the form after that was no problem.
Just a thought, did you try to close the form by itself at the upper right corner? This is not possible, the form will close only when you close PureDesign itself. Before that you should save your form (project) and create a codefile.

Hope this helps
