I second what Klaus said.

It is becoming more and more as powerful as VB6 IDE, keep the great work Polo.

1. to drag a common control from the toolbox into a form. In the form the control will be placed in standard dimensions

2. double click onto a common control in the toolbox opens the common control in standard dimensions on the form

Great job! Congratulate
Added, it's not perfect yet but it works :)

I am not sure if it is OK to post this here but here we go (Admin please move if not appropriate)!

Is it possible to add a Right-To-Left property to a Window/Form and accordingly to Menu gadget (or any other gadget)t?!

Hi Polo,

here I am again :wink:

I have just installed PB 5.10 Beta 3. Great work with the integration into the IDE.

But - there is a little Bug with Menu-Shortcuts: if you use them, they are placed outside the InitWindow_x() Procedure ! Therefore you get an error message, if you try and run the code.
Another little annoyance is for german programmers. The control-Key (ctrl) on german keyboards is labled (strg). On a localised menus therefore you write Strg+Key. FormDesigner generates #PB_Shortcut_Strg instead of #PB_Shortcut_Control ...

Best regards

RR

Thanks for the feedback Roman, I didn't know about that, can you make a bug report please? It's hard to keep track if everything's on the same topic :)

@polo: It seems to me as if form designer shuffles the window flags. When I set specific flags for a window (ie tool, centered, minimizegadget, ...), save it and switch to another tab and back again (maybe switching once codeview to formview and back) the checked flags have changed. This is massively annoying, especially as doesn't seem to be overrideable/workaroundable at the moment.

Sorry for the bug-report in this thread - I didn't know where to post as there is no bug-report sub-forum for form designer. Maybe the latter would be a good idea for the future?

Cheers,
Didel.

Great job with the Designer Polo, this is the first time I have had a good look at it, I am able to put it to some good use already, it will be fantastic when you get the bugs sorted out, I am surprised you are not mentioned in the PB About. :)

CalendarGadget needs the #PB_Calendar_Borderless option. I tried to use a Custom Container as a work around for this, but things got a bit messed up, as I don't really know how to use it. The only way I could have a borderless calendar was to create the calendar just after the open window call, in the main pb file, this is also messy because the calendar is not actually in the form code.

Concerning the problem with the window flag checkboxes not working properly, I have found that if I type the flags in the form code directly, it will show up correctly in the checkboxes, but it takes a few compile and runs to get things looking correct, I think there must be some compiler buffer that takes a few goes to get cleared from past runs.

I've noticed that, too. Was going to report it but you did it for me. :)

@polo:
just in case you didnt see - i posted a bug report in the windows bugs section. shoulda be rather easy to correct, imho.

http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=53710

however, a dedicated bugs subforum would really be helpful :-)

cheers didel
