Yeah, I must admit myself it's much easier

This is basically the layout chosen by Microsoft for their Visual products and Apple for XCode, can't be wrong!

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

Nice, you are using FD as a building tool for FD itself!

It's so much easier than to input manually everything that I didn't resist

Polo,

Here's a quick bug I found with the latest version:

I added a StringGadget to the form and entered the caption in the properties panel.
In the Code View, the InitWindow_1() procedure doesn't put the caption in quotes: Keep up the good work!

Regards,
Eric

String_1 = StringGadget(#PB_Any, 100, 40, 240, 30, Hello There!)

Keep up the good work!

Maybe you've checked "Caption is a variable"?
Should this be a bug it doesn't happen in next version

Maybe you've checked "Caption is a variable"?

Boy, you're fast!
I just figured that out and was about to edit or delete my message when I saw your reply.

Thanks,

New cool feature: toolbars are now managed inside the main window, the property grid is used to change values, and drag and drop to reorder. Inspired from Visual C#

Just done the same for StatusBar. It's sooo much easier to create/edit them now!

Removed Z Order window. Gadget order can now be changed in the main gadget list through drag and drop (doesn't work on OSX yet due to a bug in Cocoa drag and drop).

Hello Polo,

thank you very much for your effort. *thumbsup*

I have one small suggestion.

Is it possible to run the FormDesigner in a "portable mode"? Maybe like the PureBasic IDE using a "/PORTABLE" commandparameter.

In portable mode the PB-IDE saves the configfile directly to the path where the PB.exe is located (on a german PC ist is "C:\Programme\PureBasic\") . It would be nice if FD do it the same way if called with a /PORTABLE parameter.

Kind Regards,
Kurzer

Sure, added to todo list

Gaetan,

thank you for your persistent heavy work on the new cross-platform Form Designer.

But I am still missing a feature which I liked on the old Visual Designer: to add new columns to a ListIconGadget. I think it is more important to add new columns and to edit existing ones than to add only new entries as the Form Designer currently does.

Another nice feature would be to be able to add subnodes to the TreeViewGadget.

Well you can edit entries as well - however, yeah, you cannot add new columns or subnodes (yet)

New look! The ribbon is gone as the least I can say is it wasn't popular. The new UI is pretty much the same as PB IDE...
On a side note I added toolbars/statusbar support for undo/redo.
I still need to rework the menu editing, and then add other features maybe
