IceDesign GUI designer

[ChrisR]

IceDesign has been updated in version 1.9.3

• Positions and sizes set in Gadget properties are used as they are, regardless of the "Snap to Grid" checkbox.
  "Snap to Grid" remains active, of course, when moving or resizing with the mouse.

• In ObjectColor, the tooltip background color and text color are set to match the window background color.

• Add the theme's blue border to the properties to better indicate which StringGadget has the focus.

• Add SetStringTip (For windows only) for StringGadgets. Sets the string tip, that is displayed by the StringGadget to prompt the user for information.

• JellyButton supports the #PB_Button_MultiLine style to display text on several lines if it's too long.

• The name of the current IceDesign Form (*.icef) and of the Saved Code file name (*.pb|*.pbf) are now written in the title bar.
  In case of changes, an asterisk is added in front of the form name.
  The path of the generated code (*.pb|*.pbf) is saved, restored in the IceDesign form (*.icef).

• Add the IceButtons Theme option in the settings (For windows only) to add a theme (Dark or Light) to your ButtonGadget, ButtonImageGadget.

Here's an example of what can be done with IceButtons Theme and Auto Color Gadgets enabled in settings.



And a few corrections...

Hello Chris.
Small problem when back ground image used for the window
Wrong window constant is created if window control was changed from the default(#Window_0) or used Var for window and not constants.

Best Wishes.

Thanks blueb,

Hi dibor,
Thanks for reporting
I've just looked and indeed, I've actually seen a bug at the end of the Resize_xxx() procedure, wrong Windows constant name used (#Window_0), If the window Name is changed:

CompilerIf #PB_Compiler_OS = #PB_OS_Windows : RedrawWindow_(WindowID(#Window_0), #Null, #Null, #RDW_INVALIDATE | #RDW_ERASE | #RDW_ALLCHILDREN | #RDW_UPDATENOW) : CompilerEndIf

I'm ready, but before uploading, can you confirm that we're talking about the same bug ?

[dibor]

Yes
Also - Menu ,Toolbar and Status bar not be created when window background image is used.

Clearly, a few more tests would have been necessary for the background image, if no other gadgets had been resized
It should be fixed now.

IceDesign.zip package has been updated on Gumroad, keeping the same version number 1.9.3.
And the same for the demo version on Github.

Thank You Chris.

Hi Chris, is there an alternate download link available for us registered users? My browser (Firefox) is complaining about the lack of a proper certificate and my ISP is popping up this notice -

"You have tried to access a site at https://************************************/ls/click which has been reported as harmful.
Detected threats: Malware, Botnets, Phishing, Spamsites, Compromised, Cryptomining"

I'd like to update (and I think the link is probably fine) but increasingly these days you've got to be careful - so I'm currently holding off.

Hi Chris.
Application is crashed every time.

Sorry to hear that, no worries here with Chrome or Firefox, it's simple and works well here.
All I have to do is click on the "Download IceDesign" button in the 1st email received after purchase, object: "You bought IceDesign GUI Designer!".



Does anyone else have the same problem?
Do you have any alternatives to Gumroad, reliable and easy for me too ?
I don't want to bother with managing payments... I'm not going to make a living with IceDesign!


Otherwise, there are no other download links available, see:

I'll then be able to send you the latest version.

Hi dibor,
1st Crash reported, I haven't encountered it yet and I don't know how to reproduce it to fix it.
Do you have any instructions on how to reproduce it and can you send me the full text in the window: "IceDesign: an Error Occured, Sorry!"

[dibor]

I do nothing special.

I don't reproduce despite Onerror's indications, does anyone else reproduce ?

The error seems to be on a PopMapPosition() but I don't see why!
I've checked that each PushMapPosition() is balanced with a corresponding PopMapPosition()
There is no DeleteMapElement() or ClearMap() or Break or ProcedureReturn between Push and PopMapPosition()

In ObjectColor, I've commented on a few Push(Pop)MapPosition, not really useful, I'll PM you a test version to see if you still reproduce this error.

Hello Chris.
Have problem on the computer with Nvidia Quadro graphics card, on other computer programs runs well.
Anyway, I will try test version on it tomorrow.

Thank U.

[ChrisR]

Thanks for all your feedback by PM and your tests dibor
FYI, in dibor's latest test on the computer with the Nivdia Quadro card,
IceDesign crashed (IMA) after ~15 minutes, with the error on line 3893 corresponding to Select WaitWindowEvent(). Really strange
Unfortunately, I have no idea why there is this problem on this PC and what I could do
It seems to work fine, without crashing on other computers
