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.

Flicker is much much better. Thanks.

Warmonger wrote:Other then that I just started using it few seconds ago and will give it a thorough testing. Also the menu editor could be a bit easier to use if you auto generated its own constants for menu items (first item = #MenuItem_0, second = #MenuItem_1 etc). As it kinda does get very hard to keep track which level is an item and which is as submenu.

Otherwise it still feels far from being complete, but has great potential.

Do you mind giving me the generated code for this?

Global Window_3

Global ListIcon_0

Global Img_0

Enumeration
  #File
  #New
EndEnumeration

UsePNGImageDecoder()

Img_0 = LoadImage(#PB_Any,"C:\Users\Warmonger\Desktop\png\1.png")

Procedure InitWindow_3()
  Window_3 = OpenWindow(#PB_Any, 0, 0, 500, 360, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu)
  CreateToolBar(0, WindowID(Window_3))
  ToolBarImageButton(#New,ImageID(Img_0))
  ToolBarToolTip(0, #New, "New File")
  CreateMenu(0, WindowID(Window_3))
  MenuTitle("File")
  ListIcon_0 = ListIconGadget(#PB_Any, 10, MenuHeight() + ToolBarHeight(0) + 10, 480, 300, "", 100)
EndProcedure


Procedure Window_3_Events(event)
  Select event
    Case #PB_Event_Gadget
      Select EventGadget()
        Case ListIcon_0
          
      EndSelect
    Case #PB_Event_CloseWindow

If I have to support all Windows skins that's gonna be long. Is that really a big deal? I don't even think Microsoft supports older styles in Visual C.

Warmonger wrote: Every other form designer I have ever used always supported the visual design of the current OS window. I'm sure someone may help you out later with adding/fixing that. It's not a problem really, just more of an annoyance to open the designer up to be greeted with a Vista window when your on Windows 8, or XP. Especially if you're like me and are use to a specific style (keep in mind the controls are in Vista style as well). You should do what every other does, and spawn an actual child window to do the editing on. That way it pertains to whatever version of Windows its used on.

Polo wrote:Ok the gadget position is fixed, apparently the MenuHeight() shouldn't be used for positioning, only ToolBarHeight.

At the moment controls/window skin is Windows 7 actually.
I'm not drawing a real child window as obviously I would lose the cross platform ability which is what this tool is all about.
I don't have Win8 as it's not properly released yet, though you can still send me a screenshot of a window containing menu/toolbar/statusbar and most of the gadget available and then I can try to add the win8 style.

Well, it's still Win7 style

I'm happy to add Win8 style though if I can't get someone just doing a screenshot that's gonna be hard

Save as... -> Save As...
Z Order -> Order

Vista style, but Windows 7 also uses it. Maybe you should consider checking the OS version, and use a template set based on that. That way regardless if your on XP, Vista/7, or Windows 8. The form designer will retain the same visual style. If I get some time I will compile some screens of the official Windows 8 style.

Also some cosmetics with the toolbar's text.

Code: Select all

Save as... -> Save As...
Z Order -> Order
Status bar -> Status Bar

Thanks. I'll sure do a Win8 style, probably not XP though - Microsoft is dropping it soon.

Fixed the cosmetics
