DialogDesign0R V1.86

[HeX0R]

But what I'd really like is an all-in-one solution, so I can use my window directly.
I don't know how to use it though

What do you mean with "use my window directly"?
When you select the "dialogs" tag in the tree, you will see some special properties on the right side.
Here you can tick "Save Names/IDs to additional file" and "Store Dialog also in this file" (and select a storage template).
And then it will create a *.pbi file which can directly be used/started.

In the main preferences you have similar options, those are used whenever you create a brand new dialog (your default settings so to say).

Or did I now completely misunderstood your question?

Ah yes I saw, ok but to my taste it's not a simple story, I would have preferred a kind of button with “generate code” with various option, there we don't know how it all works and even more when you don't speak English

But frankly it's really cool your software, thank you, it's well done.

Question, instead of putting the xml code in the PB code, can't we just tell it to create a separate file and load that file instead?
It's an idea like that.

You could also add comments (as an option) on what the functions etc. do in the source, then depending on the language, he'll put the comments there, but it's a lot of work.

Otherwise it's really useful, thanks again!

Please take a look into the help file, especially the "Additional Files" and "Save templates" chapter.

BUT YOU CAN USE DEEPL! (or any other online translator, or the translation function of your web browser)

Or aren't you able to use the internet and your browser:?:

A little bug: when we use <imagemenu> the flag type='imagemenu' is not added.

Did you try the updated Add-Stuff source from here: viewtopic.php?f=12&t=76247
In fact it was not the flag type missing, but the handling in the AddStuff pbi was not correct.
But since that was the only difference from 1.85, I didn't update the source pack until now.
(And also due to the fact, I have the feeling no one is really using that feature )

Ok, i didn't see it, i will try it soon.

Could you add events with toolbarbuttons, it will be very usefull for me.
Thanks.

Done!
It was finally time to increase the version number, Source is V1.86 now, binaries are still V1.85 and will be updated in the upcoming days.

Thanx

Is there any plan in the future to implement popup menus and image popups menus?

M.

[HeX0R]

I don't think so.
From my point of view all GUI related things (also popup menus) should be part of the XML, but it seems you and me have that opinion exclusive.
Adding menus, toolbars and statusbar to a dialog is still nothing but a (dirty) hack.
But if one time Fred decides to include all this into the native dialogs, he will most likely use a different approach, and then I have to redo all those things.
Since I'm a very lazy guy, I'm trying not to add even more work to myself

What is the best way to have this kind of layout, where the space between the label and the string is always the same, no matter the length of the text? I'm currently using a hbox for every couple of gadgets, and adjusting manually the "spacing" property, but there might be a better solution?
