Dear all,

I forgot to post an update which was done in August. It is just a small update with only one change in one function, but this change allows more flexibility for customized user interfaces.
Now, ObjectState() can be used in drawing callbacks to check the state of the object and of the mouse in relation to the object, e.g. disabled, hovered, pushed, ...
This allows an easy case management when drawing a custom gadget as it can be seen in Example06_Gadgets.pb


New Version 1.17.01

• Added: Example #6: Example06_Gadgets.pb
• Changed: More states returned by ObjectState() to create custom gadget easily, see example #6

to the module developer: Does this module have a new update?

No, not from my side. Last Version is 1.17

@ShadowStorm

did you test the module?
Today, for the first time.

what did the name of the module mean to you?
Nothing, otherwise I would probably have tried it sooner.

were you disappointed by the module, and if so, why in detail?
No, it's very good.

do you think the name of the module is appropriate for what it does?
I believe the term used by Corona Labs, Pixi JS and Create JS is Display Objects

What would you like to do with it?
I have an idea for a Betfair trading app and this module would be ideal for it.

do you have any ideas for improvement, things to review?
Dual license so the option to use it commercially exists.

The biggest problem to be used is the license.
I previously talked about it with ShadowStorm and I think I'm not the only one (Stargate too I think), but unfortunately I couldn't convince him

I also unsuccessfully tried to convince him about the license issue earlier this year. He is totally against anyone who can make money at his expense.

Because of the licence, this module is also not of interest to me, as I sometimes write special software for our customers and this is therefore not free.

If I need something like this, I will probably have to write it myself.

I guessed that was the case which is why I suggested dual licensing - free for non-commercial or a fee to remove that restriction.
By their own admission EditorFactory hasn't gained any traction so what do they have to lose now? May as well try to recoup something from the hours spent already.

I think there's the fundamentals to make some really nice widgets here so it's a shame it's going to waste.

Have you seen my module? why don't you use it?

Hi mestnyi

I tried to run demo.pb (on Pop!_OS) but it couldn't find the cursors module and the only cursors.pb I could find in your source tree seemed to be very MAC specific.

Hi mestnyi,

I've got a problem with the zip file, macro pb(), path github, etc.

Ok

You should better use an own thread and not "hijacking" this one.

Ok

Any chance of adding load and save functions?
