Hello Gnozal,

I'm happy about the development progress of your editor. With build 124 I succeeded to test the tab text refresh in relation to the panel gadget with a new project.
Unfortunately with my test project I did not succeed. I find it very curious that the graphic exactly shows the modified text on the different tabs of a panel while the completed code in the editor has an older tabtext in the data section. When I read the Pureform project file with a text editor I find the new text and not the old tab text. In order that you can test I made you a mail on your address with a zip file.

Hello Gnozal

You can forget my Email from yesterday, the problem is solved:
I first deleted all my Panelgadgets, the I recreated them. From that point on I succeed in changing and so on; everything works fine now.

Hello Gnozal,



Could you imagine a copy / paste functionality as a new gadget group action?

You mean extend the 'Copy/Paste gadget' feature to gadget groups ?
I will see what I can do.

Hello Gnozal,



incredible, this feature enables to copy gadgets between windows without any problems.



you might think about the following points:

- possibility to copy gadget group with properties

- possibility to store group gadgets in order to recall them in other projects. A sort of template function.

- possibility to copy gadget group with properties

What would that be ?

Hi,

I have browsed the help file that comes with PureFORM and have a couple of questions that I hope someone will be able to answer.

1. I am trying to use jaPBe and PureFORM as a plugin. Am I right in presuming that the PureFORM exe has to go in the plugins directory ?

2. When I run PureFORM as a plugin create an example project, save it as test.pbf, save the codes as test.pb and then close PureFORM. The editor does not contacin the source file. I have all the options selected in the preferences.
Can someone explain how PureFORM works as a plugin to jaPBe please.

Regards

Andy

Yes

It's a bug. I have uploaded a new version wich should fix this.
So it should work :
1. Open test.pb in jaPBe
2. Start plugin : PureFORM opens test.pbf
3. Modify form.
4. Update code in source
5. Quit plugin
6. Source file is reloaded in jaPBe.

Hello Gnozal,

With your last release I discovered that meanwhile it is possible to copy a single gadget or a gadget group with all the properties of the gadgets (color, size etc) included.
I think it could be interesting to store groups of gadgets in a seperate file in order to recall and reuse them for other projects, that was what I meant with templates.
