27/5/2008. Update.
My apologies for the constant updates, but that follows from my using these controls myself etc. At least they are getting a thorough road-testing this way! :)

Have refined both the nxSplitter and the nxImageArray quite a lot. Lots of flicker eliminated. Also, the nxImageArray has been adjusted in order to work with Win NT (3.5 onwards - my thanks to Milan1612) and it will now show a horizontal scrollbar in the event that the control's width is insufficient to show a complete column of images. Previously, the control would never display a horizontal scrollbar and would instead only show images if the control's width was sufficient to show at least one column etc.

Regards.

27/6/2008. Update. -New control added!
Have added what I have called an nxTreeField control to the Nexus framework, a control which has been requested several times in these forums.

An nxTreeField is essentially a tree gadget with columns!

It is very flexible and easy to use and can actually be used as a replacement for the standard listicon and tree gadgets if desired.

Features include :
  • Optional checkboxes.
  • Optional images in any 'cell'. Altering a cell's icon is a single line of code.
  • Fully 'themed'. Node buttons and checkboxes are rendered according to any active theme.
  • Resizeable columns (via click and drag or code). Individual columns can be prevented from being resized etc.
  • Full column reordering through click and drag (an optional style).
  • Individual cell justification.
  • Complete control over the gadget through simple code and a simple (optional) callback.
(Tested on XP and Vista.) Ideal for displaying heirarchical data etc.

I do intend adding some kind of editing capability very soon as well as a few more cell formatting options.

As well as this, and because of the time consumed by what is really a side project (and a complex one at that! :wink: ) I have removed the donate options from the Nexus section of the nxSoftware site. Whilst Nexus remains free and open-source, I have instead added a 'Paid support' option to the website.

For a once-only and very very low payment, comes a promise of my help and assistance with any project utilising any of the Nexus controls; from simple suggestions to help with the project's code and/or alterations to the Nexus controls themselves should an individual product require it. Suggestions for improvements to Nexus (or ideas for new controls) will also get priority consideration.

This seems to me the best way of supporting what is an on-going project. Consider that the new treefield control has taken close to two weeks of fulltime coding, time away from my commercial projects, and I still intend working on upgrading this control even further! :)

The download link is via the http://www.nxsoftware.com site.

thanks :D
looks very good!

In the TreeFieldCallback you define allways a "*ptrLong.LONG" but is never
used?

greetings
Thomas


PS: The Rebar folder is empty :wink:

Aye, *ptrLong was a throwback to an earlier example in which it is no longer needed. Consider it removed! :)

SRod: You could install Google checkout and TrialPay (*very good*) for people who have problems with PayPal? I had no problems though.

Here is my affiliate link to TrailPay... ;)

Let me try an unencrypted Paypal button - I've had no trouble with them in the past...... :)

**EDIT : have switched the encrypted button for an unencrypted Paypal button. Worth a try! :lol:

Keep trying to register on your forum, but the code system on registration appears not to work. Says "Please enter the right code." - tried a few times with the right code! :?
