WIP!

Thanks to Fred's big help I started working on merging the FD into the IDE.
There are still many things missing (and probably a bunch of bugs too!) though it's coming along nicely, Freak did an amazing job on the IDE code, which really makes my life much easier! :)

A nice thing I just added is the ability to compile directly from the form to test it - just hit the Compile/Run button and you'll see your form natively compiled. Didn't take too much time thanks to the helping functions Fred/Freak coded! :)

Really cool...

I have not followed the whole thread, but is there a way to somehow "import" an old application, so the window creation and button positioning coud be done within the form designer?

Yes, just put all your gadget creating function into a .pbf file and open it with the FD. Though it will work correctly only if you don't use variables for gadget positioning/sizing.

*hmmm* maybe I'm not good enough but I can't select multiples objets (to move them).
I've checkboxgadget and stringgadget but I'm not able to select the two and move them, even if I use CTRL key (a click show me a contextual menu with item like 'Align selected gadgets....').
I've tried to use "cursor" in left (or right) tools menu, hoping this let me making a selection with mouse...

Could you answer me if I'm really dumb or if this feature isn't ready ?

Frame visual bug, frame border is suppose to score text (OSX + Linux/critical)
Image
Fix: Raise frame border to next grid line up, drop from text aligned center on same grid line (OSX/Linux)
Fix: Lower frame border to appropriate grid line (Windows)
Image
ListIcon column heads too short - Not proportionate to actual size (all OS/non-critical)
Panel placement + OS Skin settings combo boxes not proportionate to actual size (all OS/non-critical)
Preference view non-functional live scrolling (semi-critical)
Code view area scrollbars automatically disabled when not needed (non-critical)

Yes, I am a perfectionist. :lol:

It's actually correct on OSX. Might not be on Linux though the problem is, positioning cannot be certain with Frame3D due to different themes. I fixed the drawing on Linux/Windows skins so it looks more accurate, thanks for the report!

Can't do anything for the live scrolling I'm afraid.

These issues will be fixed once the Form Designer is integrated in the IDE.

I see now, so yea the bug exists for the Linux design (never used OS X). Tho I think the live scrolling is going to impact the use of this designer ten fold. What are you using to generate the gridview?

The Linux issue should be fixed.
I use a canvas for the gridview.

I use really for the first time your nice program 8)
Like surely several members, i have some ideas, perhaps you not want to do, but we never know.

The first idea, if you create at the beginning of this thread a list of things ToDo if you have not again do it, and a list of things you not want to do, even if a member have ask it.

For example

ToDo list
- Bla bla bla
- Bla bla bla
- Bla bla bla
- etc ..

NeverDo list
- Color VisualDesigner in pink candy (Asked by KCC) Answer : Fred and Polo not like the pink
- Modify VisualDesigner in round window (Asked by KCC) Answer : The square windows are better for use
- etc ..

Why do this ???
Because, this thread have 38 pages, and i think so much more soon, and it's too long to see if a question, an option have already asked :(
Like this, if a member need a fonction, he look on the ToDo List and the NeverDo List and if his idea is not on this two list, he can ask to you.
Like this you not answer already at the same question :D

****************************************************************************
So like there are not list, i dare to ask my questions :oops:
  • Can you use the DragAndDrop for the PBF, like IDE of PB, because it's more easy than select in the explorer
    Is it possible to not fix the gadgets on the grid for move it
    Can you adding the list of Recent PBF already used the last time
Thanks for your works 8)

For question 1 and 3 this won't be changed as it won't be an issue when the designer is integrated in the IDE.
For question 2, I guess you can use a grid of size 1 if you don't want to use the grid?

I could of course do a todo list, though for the moment it's quite small: integrate in IDE, then improve the custom gadgets ;)

Thanks for your answer 8)

I have just see a problem
I have create a TextGadget in a PanelGadget and after i say to me, it's not a good idea, and i want to move it out of the PanelGadget, directly on the window.
Apparently, it's impossible, the TextGadget have a strange behaviour, and not want go more down of the PanelGadget :shock:
