Recipe management software?

[Fangbeast]

sorry to report that for me it still doesn't work right
am using PB 5.42 Beta 5 LTS(x86) same problem when using PB 5.40 LTS(x86) Windows 10 x64
I am printing to PDF using "Microsoft Print to PDF", page one is ok the problem is on page 2

Did you put Syed's fix in? (Because I haven't done it yet)

[jack]

yes, I replaced the TI_PrintRecipe procedure with the new one.

...printing to PDF using "Microsoft Print to PDF", page one is ok the problem is on page 2...

Apparently, the vector library automatically converts the font size to the currently used UOM. So, when the font size is indicated in the VectorFont() function, it should be the converted value, and not the point size.

The code has been edited with this fix. Thank you for pointing that out.

[jack]

thank you TI-994A
works perfect.

[Fangbeast]

Ah, okay. I'm still working on the setup module for various things including turning off or on the search return limits.

Be a while yet, I am slow.

Thanks for fixing things Syed, I couldn't do it. As I said before, this recipe program is a collaboration, thank goodness for that!

Any changes I do now are fixes, features and additions. No changes to the database structure at all.

TI, is the routine named correctly for you as "TI_PrintRecipe.pbi" or do you prefer it after your real name?

When the program is finally released months down the track, I want the appropriate credits in place etc.

hi Fangbeast
I would like to change the font color of the recipe list from faint-gray to some color that stands out more, maybe IBM-blue or green.
how would you do it ?

G'day jack. You pointed out a bug in my code where I accidentally set the foreground colour of the alternate band instead of the background colour.

You can turn the alternate colour banding off so the the default font colour is used or modify _DisplayRecipeString.pbi at lines 75 and 81 to change the colours used in the band.

And you can change the foreground and the background used in the bands.

This code was my mistake

Code: Select all

  If Option\ColourBand = #True
    If Program\ColourToggle = #True
      Program\ColourToggle = #False
      SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $D4D4D4)
    ElseIf Program\ColourToggle = #False
      Program\ColourToggle = #True
      SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_FrontColor, $C1C1C1) ; This was my mistake
    EndIf
  EndIf

This is the corrected code

Code: Select all

  If Option\ColourBand = #True
    If Program\ColourToggle = #True
      Program\ColourToggle = #False
      SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $D4D4D4)
    ElseIf Program\ColourToggle = #False
      Program\ColourToggle = #True
      SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $C1C1C1)
    EndIf
  EndIf  

And if you want to change the font colours as well as the band colours, you can do this

Code: Select all

  If Option\ColourBand = #True
    If Program\ColourToggle = #True
      Program\ColourToggle = #False
      SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $D4D4D4)
     SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_FrontColor, $D1091D) ; Dark IBM blue font
    ElseIf Program\ColourToggle = #False
      Program\ColourToggle = #True
      SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_BackColor, $C1C1C1)
     SetGadgetItemColor(#Gadget_Recipes_Recipes, LineNumber.i, #PB_Gadget_FrontColor, $566A19) ; Dark green font
    EndIf
  EndIf  
  

P.S everybody, I have finally finished the setup options for query limit, query limit size, whether to use ProperCase strings for titles and using a dictionary replace (that part I am working on) and the update has been uploaded. at:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/s9yk29jr0fuhl ... es.7z?dl=0

Modifed the sections in _FindRecipe() and _DisplayCategory() that now take into account whether or not a display limit has been set.

thank you Fangbeast

No problem.

I'm still working on the setup module at the moment, so little brain!

TI, is the routine named correctly for you as "TI_PrintRecipe.pbi" or do you prefer it after your real name?

When the program is finally released months down the track, I want the appropriate credits in place etc.

I'm happy to have even received this much credit; but more importantly, I'm just glad that it'll be useful. Name-wise, I'll leave it to you. Collaboration or not, it's your baby.

Thank you.

Credit where it is due, I could not have done it.

New craptastic build folks, several days worth of typing and fresh hamster bothering. Link above should still work.

My changelog might sound short but believe me, a huge lot of typing was done.

P.S I had to update today's changelog as a lot of behind the scenes stuff was done. And in 35 degrees heat too!!
