Wich is very needed when dealing with tabs and other stuff.

Ok, I understand now.
This would be complicated ...
In PureFORM, because of some features like the possibility to create containers in containers (as many levels as you want) or functional scrollgadgets or splitters, the code generation routine is kind of recursive and doesn't care about the order you created the gadgets in the form. So I don't use a gadget order variable internally. The gadget creation order is determined during the code generation, regarding the parent and child gadgets for each gadget as well as the parent window.
And I confess I never thought about tab order (never use it).

Update

Changes :
- no new features
- bug fix release

Hi gnozal,

And I confess I never thought about tab order (never use it).

Whohowww..

That is an important feature! I never would sell a program that has a corrupt tab-order. In case the order is wrong, a lot of customers will call the support for fixing this... Trust me!

Lucky me, I don't have customers
I will see what I can do but like I said, it implies some big changes in the code generation routine.

What do you think we are? We use your app and are thus your customers.

Just as well gnozal (with all the work and effort he puts into...how many applications does he publish at the moment???...all his apps), doesn't charge a red cent for all his efforts. As far as I'm concerned, because he doesn't charge anything for his work, and no-one is under any obligation to use them, you've got a cheek taking that attitude!

You are users
I do what I can and I think I offer pretty good support considering all my stuff is free.

Gnozal,

You are absolutely RIGHT!

You're supplying us with great stuff and I thank you very much for that.
It is very much appreciated!!

Rob.

Update

Good news for my customers

Changes :

- added some kind of 'Tab order' feature (in gadget context menu).
You can set the gadget creation order for all gadgets with same window/parent gadget. Please test.

OMG!! This is what I've been looking for! Thank you so much for all your hard work in making this visual designer. This is a breath of fresh air from the visual designer that came with PB (Lack of features, odd in-your-face crashes, etc). There is one feature that I ask that you please, please add (It was missing from visual designer as well, and its a pain). Please add the ability to minimise the application (and its child windows, of course) to the taskbar. Like I said, it is a royal pain to have the application running, but I need to get at something on the desktop. I have to then move windows all around.

ALT-M will minimize all open windows to the taskbar.

I knew this, but thats not what I meant. I could even right-click on the taskbar and choose 'Show the Desktop', but thats not what I meant either. :roll:

<WindowsKey> + D does do the same...


The safest shortcut, however, is holding ALT+F4

Alt-F4 will close the foreground window rather than just minimizing it.
