Panel and other gadgets

Since a view weeks I work intensively with panels and other gadgets.
So I think there are some commands with unlucky names (not consistent).
I prefer:

1.) CreatePanel instead of PanelGadget (like CreateMenu or CreateToolBar)
2.) AddPanelItem instead of AddGadgetItem (like MenuItem)
2.) AddMenuItem instead of MenuItem
4.) AddToolBarStandardButton instead of ToolBarStandardButton etc.
otherwise AddGadgetItem must be GadgetItem or better PanelItem, and MenuItem remains the same.

IMHO the goal of a programming language must be, to be consistent from the beginning to the end.



Have a nice day...

Normaly I would say that you are right, but I think it is to late to began renameing the commands. I dont want to change all my sourcecodes!

Anyway, if you realy need these keywords, why not creating a procedure with your own keywords?! Only one possibillitie....

I understand that, but there is a find/replace possibility in the editor...

Yes Mike thats a way.

Anyway I don't use the real Gadget names anyway.

I builded my own wrapper for gadgets and windows.
Now I don't have to choose a gadgtet or a window number anymore.
All numbers are set automatically.

And a nice thing is that my calls for a gadget are now like:

Code: Select all

ButtonGadget(Window1,10, 90, 100, 25,"ButtonText","Control 1 ToolTip",@FunctionControl1())
 

All Tooltips are set automatically, also the command behind the gadgtet is automatically linked to the procedure FunctionControl1().
Don't need a Select Event.. thingie anymore for each gadget.
If you are coding a large program it is very easy to code all gadgets...
Anyway, thanks.


Have a nice day...

translation:
Finally a command where you know what's going on

I like the new End command too
Can I use it for my programs or do you have a copyright on it?
