You apparently have to rightclick on the executable and select "allow to execute as program" or something like this. Not sure why you have to do that...

Thanks for your great job!!!
I noticed that version 4.70 beta1 supported unicode, but the one included with the latest PB 5.00 does not.
am I wrong?

Regards

Fred compiled the 5.00 version through makefiles and probably didn't select unicode. I'll see if we can change that!

Have you changed the properties (attributes) of formdesigner to executable?

Yes.



This form designer from distribution 5.00b2

Oh that's because I compiled in x64.
I don't have a x86 image sorry.

I'm slowly working on the Undo/Redo feature (at least...!) - this is probably the most boring part of the FD development, and quite annoying too!
It's an essential feature, so I had to do it at some point

It's coming along nicely, I hope to be finished with it by tonight or tomorrow, as I'd like to have some testing on this and make sure it doesn't crash!

Hello Polo,
here another crash.
Goto Preferences, change to Costum Gadgets and click with Mouse right in the white aray.
Then press any key. Here a picture from this crash. I hope, this can help.

Fixed, thanks!

Undo / Redo is added
For now it will not take into account status bar / menu / toolbar.

I changed some stuffs internally to make it working nicely, hope this won't introduce too much problem.

Because the actual gadgets both in the FD and in your compiled example looks correctly positionned.
The grid drawing should be fixed for next version (only happened on the Windows skin)

No the problem is when resizing the window you're function adds +2 onto the Width and Height.

You should have said it's when resizing the window
Fixed.

Thanks for the comment guys!

The ribbon has been criticised a lot and I can understand why, as it's not really easy to switch from gadgets to gadgets, so I've added a gadget list under the property grid for next version. The ribbon buttons will remain as well for now, so you'll just use whichever you like best!

Yea, its only with the Windows designs that it seems to tack on 2px to the width and height. It doesn't do it with Mac or Linux visual styles.

If you change the backgroundcolor of a window, you can see the change only after resizing the Designer Window or change the views (codeview and back)

Thanks, this has been reported and fixed

I've reworked all skins to remove the positioning error.

Also, I made some small optimizations that should provide faster moving and resizing actions

Hello Polo,

* starting FormDesigner.exe
* Click on "Duplicate"

Fixed, many thanks!!

Here's the new UI, I got rid of the ribbon icons and instead created a toolbox which is always visible. Gadgets are sorted by alphabetical order so it's quite easy to find what you want to add.



(yes this is the actual preference window of the Form Designer app )

You can of course make suggestions, and continue to test, you've all been very helpful so far to make the app better
