PureBasic Forums - English

This is now beta 1.1 of my ShortcutBar gadget and because I've re-written great swathes of the code, I thought it best to start a new thread.



I've revamped the gradient colouring algorithm and have striven to reduce flicker whilst scrolling or dragging ShortcutBar gadgets. Indeed, the code to allow users to drag the gadgets is completely new and removes all flicker. There is now a user guide in the download.

Features include:

• Any number of panels can be dynamically added to or removed from a single ShortcutBar gadget.
• Panels can be collapsed or expanded either by code or by the user clicking an 'up/down' button. (Panels do not have to have an 'up/down' button.)
• Any combination of Purebasic gadgets can be added to individual panels.
• Individual panels can be gradient coloured or any kind of custom painting can easily be applied such as tiled effect, hatched effects etc.
• Any number of icons (or images of any kind supported by PB) can easily be placed within individual panels.
• Developers can allow a ShortcutBar gadget to be dragged by the user by setting a simple flag.

See the example programs for details on how to use the library.

Enjoy.
