Hello PureLust

It looks like you are no longer following your forum thread in the German forum:
http://www.purebasic.fr/german/viewtopi ... =8&t=29476

In any case, contains your ZIP file that you are offering here to download, not the improved version.
In the CodeArchiv I made a few improvements to your module:

Oh, you're right ... missed the discussion on the german board completely.
Looks like I did not get any messages from the german board, if someone posts into one of my threads there.
I try to reply there within a few days.

I have a few days of right now, which I planed to use to finish some PB-Projects and look over some 'older' stuff.
So I'll have a look at your changes to DynamicDialogs, include them into the 'official' release and maybe add some new features.

But because I never use this combination for my own I just want to ask, if there is any interest / need for this improvement to make sure it's worth the effort.

I would support this wish too. So if you see a chance, any further improvement to DynamicDialogs is welcome!

(Already have converted my complete project with a bunch of different windows into resizable dialogs made with DynamicDialogs... I'm very happy and hope to show it to the public next year.. )

I would also be interested in this improvement. I'm in the process of planning and creating a prototype of an offline blog/website editor which will need several GUI screens of different types.

OK, I hope to finish and publish my new InterCom-Module soon.
Right after that I'll get my hands on DynamicDialogs again.

Is it still in development?

So FINALLY I've included Menu- and StatusBar-Support to my DynamicDialogs Module !!!
(Further changed Include-Path on Demos, to support Linux FileSystem and fixed a little Bug on WebGadget.)

How to use it in your DynamicDialogs-Code:

There are two new constants: #Add_MenuSpacer and #Add_StatusBarSpacer which has to be added to the Window-Flags, if you want Menu- or StatusBar-Support.

So, just 'Or' #Add_MenuSpacer to the Flags of the Window, which you want to add a Menu later on and 'Or' #Add_StatusBarSpacer to the Windows-Flags, if you want to add a StatusBar later on.

E.G.:
Window__(#WinMain, "MainWindow", "Demo_4", #Add_MenuSpacer | #Add_StatusBarSpacer | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered | #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_SizeGadget | #PB_Window_MaximizeGadget, 810, 480, 800, 550)

Easy enough?

To see these Flags in action, just have a look an the new 'Demo_4' in the Demo-Folder.

Sorry for the delay, but I hope you are at least satisfied with the final outcome.

Greetz and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you !!!
PureLust

Thank you very much for the further development, PureLust! And happy New Year

DynamicDialogs runs very well in my big application, just tested this latest update.
Currently I'm not using Menu/StatusBars yet, but probably in the future... and the new Demo runs fine.

Now only some improvements are still needed, but they must the done in the underlying PB Dialogs library, like adding/removing gadgets during runtime...

Yeah, ... this would be great.

But for the first Step it would be enough if hidden Gadgets will be counted with zero Size within the recalculation of RefreshDialog().
Should be easy to implement and provides a lot of opportunities.

Good idea
Just added to the related FeatureRequest thread: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =3&t=64890

Uploaded a new version with minor 'bugfixes' in demo-codes, which causes problems on Linux or OSX because of their case sensitivity in include-path, etc..

(as mentioned from Sirco on the german Board)

Words fail me!!!!!!!!!! Only acronyms can do this thing justice!!

WTF!!!! OMG!!!!

Thank you for all the work you have put into this, it has sparked me into working on a long-dead project!

Yes !! thanks PureLust for this great sharing
