First, great job
I have a feature request : a easier way to place gadget
Dock gadget > Top, Bottom, Left, Right

It's mainly to place gadget inside usable client area.

• For example 'Dock gadget > Top' will update the gadget position like that
  x = 0
  y = 0 + toolbar height (if exists)
  w = ... current window width
  h = ... unchanged
• For example 'Dock gadget > Bottom' will update the gadget position like that
  x = 0
  y = window height - h - statusbar height (if exists)
  w = ... current window width
  h = ... unchanged

Thanks

Bug Report : sometimes, the main panel of your editor is resized when the editor is restored.

And I can't fix its size. I tried the 'rearrange' option but the main panel size is not fixed by this.

I don't fully understand : Editor = CodeView ? Main panel = ?
Could you post the steps to reproduce the problem ?

[eddy]

1 - create a project (mine contains a splitter gadget)
2 - minimize application
3 - restore application

Thank you for the dock gadget feature. Would it be possible, in some distant future, to add one more option. Something like Dock gadget -> Fill to have the gadget fill the entire client area.

Could not reproduce the problem, tried with multiple forms under NT4 and XP. Changed some code, don't know if it helps though.

Done.

Download updated (build 302).

'PURERESIZE Minimum size control' causes this problem. (In my example, the values are 600x600)
This option resizes the editor but not the edited form.

-build 309 1.99
1.when check "prepare multilanguage support" and select "procedure":
if purebasic was not install in "c:\program files",the temp language file will not be created
2.about window should be "modeless" like "visual designer",now it looks very strange
3.very hope for double-byte charset string support (i have to use english name in title$ etc,and use multilanguage support for chinese)

I have Purebasic not installed in 'Program files', and it works (the temp language file during compile/run is created).
If PBversion <= 4.02, the temp language file is created in the PB 'Compilers' directory.
If PBversion > 4.02, the temp language file is created in windows temp directory [GetTempPath_()].

2.about window should be "modeless" like "visual designer",now it looks very strange

Since build 1, the 'About' window is a message requester, and therefore modal. What's the issue with this anyway ?

3.very hope for double-byte charset string support (i have to use english name in title$ etc,and use multilanguage support for chinese)

Sorry, but some characters are used internally and in ini file as data separators, so they are not authorized.
These are : #ProjectSeparator = "¶", #ListSeparator = "·", #ListItemSeparator = "¸".
And PureFORM is (still) written in PB3.94 anyway (not unicode capable).
So I guess multibyte compatibility is not for tomorrow.

Crash:
When I try to add the "ProgressBarGadget", and set "#PB_ProgressBar_Vertical" to be actived.
Then I set again to cancel, the PureFORM crashed.
