Hi storck,
I didn't have time to look at it before but with your icef file, I reproduced the error, I'll fix it.
Thanks

IceDesign has been updated in version 2.0.6

• Fix the above bug reported by Storck.
  In procedure Resize_Window(), with a Menu, ToolBar or StatusBar, the line:
  WindowName_HeightIni - MenuHeight - ToolBarHeight - StatusBarHeight
  Must be written Only if at least one of the child gadgets has a proportional property.

• ButtonImageGadget in ObjectTheme.pbi now accepts transparent images, I mean DrawAlphaImage() vs DrawImage()...

Hello Chris,

I recompiled all my forms with version 206 and I get alert from my code that a lot of items are not found in my Language MAP
I don't know which version changed if but it seems that
checkboxgadget
stringgadget
textgadget
and maybe others
now generate language data on empty textfields too.

Example
I can see following 5 lines in IceDesign
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_1, 765, 675, 372, 25, "")
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_2, 765, 700, 372, 25, "")
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_3, 765, 725, 372, 25, "")
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_4, 765, 750, 372, 25, "")
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_5, 765, 775, 372, 25, "Operators should not use this field")

The generated code then is
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_1, 765, 675, 372, 25, GetInterfaceLang("Gadget_WinKastZekeringen_String_Zek_MARKERING_1"))
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_2, 765, 700, 372, 25, GetInterfaceLang("Gadget_WinKastZekeringen_String_Zek_MARKERING_2"))
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_3, 765, 725, 372, 25, GetInterfaceLang("Gadget_WinKastZekeringen_String_Zek_MARKERING_3"))
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_4, 765, 750, 372, 25, GetInterfaceLang("Gadget_WinKastZekeringen_String_Zek_MARKERING_4"))
StringGadget(#WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_5, 765, 775, 372, 25,GetInterfaceLang("Gadget_WinKastZekeringen_String_Zek_MARKERING_5"))

The generated data for my language map then is (note that only the last line should be there)
Data.s "Gadget_WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_1",""
Data.s "Gadget_WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_2",""
Data.s "Gadget_WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_3",""
Data.s "Gadget_WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_4", ""
Data.s "Gadget_WinKast_String_Zek_MARKERING_5", "Operators should not use this field"

My language MAP is therefore suddenly missing a lot of ... empty fields ???
IceDesign used NOT to do that before.
Is it possible to correct this so the empty fields are not replaced by GetInterfaceLang()
Thanks

Hi William,
I'm not sure I understand, the change you had with a previous version.
I haven't had any changes in this part for a while now !
For me, empty texts were always included, but I agree, they shouldn't be. There's little chance of an empty text being translated in another things.
Just 2 lines to change, I'm ready to update, not much, but not much in my Todo too.
Is this enough or is there something else I haven't seen?

IceDesign has been updated in version 2.0.7

Minor updates:

• Useless empty texts are no longer included in the Multi-Language module.

• ObjectTheme version 1.5.2 updated, Dpi aware ComboBox drop-down list.

Many thanks Chris.

Hello Chris,
If I need more than 2 tabs on a PanelGadget, I am currently adding the 3th tab manually in the xxxx.icef file.
Not urgent, but In the future version, an option to select the number of tabs would be great.
Thanks

Hi, you can add, delete, move tabs from the context menu (right click) from the panel opened.
To let you know if I don't answer, I'm on a ski vacation for a week, without my computer.

Yes... found it.
Sorry, didn't know that.

Thank you @ChrisR for your updates to IceDesign, which I'm enjoying a lot.

I'm wondering if there is a way to set the tab order of controls. I'm not meaning tabs on the PanelGadget, I'm meaning the tab order of gadgets like ButtonGadget and StringGadget etc on a window .

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Radsoft,
I'm glad you like it
The tab order is defined by the order in which Gadgets are created.
And IceDesign automatically uses the natural order, level, position Y then position X, which should be correct in 90% of cases.
But sorry, nothing is currently developed to change this order.

Hi Chris, i hope this is added in future version of IceDesign, is nice to have the full control of what i want, also regarding being able to choose the tab order..

Chris
Tab-order control would indeed be nice.
I do a lot of loops like For gad.i = #img_0 to #img_19. tab order has to be correct in this case.
I experienced that for some reason adding gadgets, even in correct sequens, does not always end up with correct tab-order.

Yes, yes, I understand the need for the Tab Order, I've made a note of it in my Todo.
I haven't really thought yet about how to do it, how to present it... I'll take a look but I'll let it mature, no rush, slowly, slowly

For now, it's pretty easy to do it with a macro and SetWindowPos() Api, ex:

very nice example ChrisR,
thanks !
