PureFORM 1.99 (yet another FORM designer)

[michel]

Hello Gnozal,

I like it a lot but there are quite a few serious issues:

1) modal dialogs are system-wise (blocking everything underneath it...)
2) theres no possibility to have a main window? (instead of everything floating on the desktop)
3) can't edit source on code view? (that should be a feature no one thought of).

And the reusability of the generated code, as well as how the code is generated... I don't think its too flexible IMO.

Other than that, everything else I like a lot... but I'm having a hard time with points 1 and 3 specially.

Cheers.

?! No dialog is system wide. Some are application wide (like the menu builder).

2) theres no possibility to have a main window? (instead of everything floating on the desktop)

No (I like it floating, I don't like MDI windows).
You could try the alternative GUI (less stuff floating).

3) can't edit source on code view? (that should be a feature no one thought of).

No, code view is read-only. For source update see manual.

Not system wide? then why I can't even use messenger when the options window is opened? (same for the menu window). It keeps on trying to get focus on top of the window stack, which is really annoying.

I understand you don't like MDI windows, but having an optional parent window working as a gray background is not really MDI. It's just so the view is cleaner, and you don't get distracted with background noise.

I'm reading the manual, but it's not what I meant... I was speaking of RAD basically.

Thanks.

I can use many apps while the options window is opened, don't have messenger though.

Hi gnozal, i have a problem, if i create a toolbar When I try to compile i receive this error : Could not compile Form ! Error: line 35 - Constant not found: #TB_GETIMAGELIST

Seems that this constant is not defined in PB3.94. I will add this for the next release.
Add this to your source : #TB_GETIMAGELIST = (#WM_USER+ $31) ; Where #WM_USER = $400.

Hello Gnozal,

In build 261 when you have an application with several windows PureFORM automatically opens all the windows on start up.
Clicking on the button "window list" keeps this window empty and PureFORM turns in mode of not responding.

Seems to be some kind of issue with the new feature 'DrawGadgetLimits' ; open PureFORM.ini and set FORM_DrawGadgetLimits = 0.
I will try fo fix it.
