Really impressive release.

I see two bugs at present:
-trackbar min and max are not stored (they return to 0); I think they worked in the preceding beta
-I cannot see caption on button, Just a black rectangle, but generated code is correct.

Both fixed, the source code is growing too fast :P
Thanks for the report!

I didn't test all the releases but it didn't happen on the last release I tried.
I'll have a look thanks!

Added a Google checkout button for those who can't use Paypal, hope that works, was a pain to set up ;)

I have no flicker on windows XP (SP3).

Microsoft recently announced the end of XP support life, but the date is in year 2014 (I think April 2014); maybe it was a move to sell some windows seven, now that 8 is ready ;-)

Haven't gotten round compiling it to release it, not feasible through DLL/Dylib, and it's a pain maintaining the Tailbite library. It's still available as a source code version but then it's expensive.

Didn't know that, thanks I'll add a Google checkout! ;)[/quote]


How much is 'expensive' ? and thanks for adding google checkout ...

Small fixes version (still beta 9). Flickering should be reduced, and buttons corrected.

Changing panel from left to right (and vs) crashes the program. After restart is on the new side thue.

Not really a bug, but something useful:
after you have chosen a font for any gadget, if you re-open the Font requester, the font name and size are retained, but style (bold, etc.) is not passed back and it reverts to normal.
So if you simply change the size and press OK without reselectig the style, you lose it.

Edit:
here is a possible clue:
this does not show the style

Code: Select all

Result = FontRequester(FontName$, FontSize,0,#PB_Font_Bold| #PB_Font_Italic)
and this works:

Code: Select all

Result = FontRequester(FontName$, FontSize,0,0,#PB_Font_Bold| #PB_Font_Italic)

Fixed - I actually forgot to convert the internal font flags to PB flags ;)

Whaouuuuuu Polo, place the design on the left is a good idea. The flicker effect has disappeared quasiement. Congratulations for this new version and thank you for the time you devoted to this project.

I have just discovered CTRL-D, very very useful.
I found out that repeated objects are not reported in the init_window procedure until you add a new object.

I am also having difficulties with Select all / Copy in code window now, but I remember I had used it many times before.

Bug : Run Form Designer and look at the source code of the current window. You forgot InitWindow_0()
