PureBasic Forums - English

I finished this window editor for PB sometime ago , finally i've decided to release it.

Some features:

1st of all uses 2 commercial C dlls for the grid and palette , of course the executable is done with PB.

a drawback of using this dlls is that there is a limit of 100 gadgets.

another thing derived of these dlls is that you will see some redrawing specially if you use a high resolution grid.

Now the good things:

- supports all gadgets except status bar and tool bar

- all gadget flags are supported

- drag and drop gadgets , move and resize them visually

- customizable grid

- produces pb code with the event loop , gadget constants with the name you choose

- load and save options , you can load a previous saved window for later editing


It has been a heck of work and i had to purchase the dlls plus the installer so i charge 10 Eur (10.65$) for it.

This is the demo version , only supports 3 gadgets : Listicon , Button and Frame3d . There is a redrawing problem(dll) with the frame3d i put it so you can see it before buying.

Look at the examples to see what can do the full version.

The installer only copies all the files to the directory you choose.

I don't have a web page so i uploaded to angelfire:

something wrong with the download url.

Angelfire does not allow direct linking
from offsite, non-Angelfire pages,
to files hosted on Angelfire.
This practice of 'remote linking' reduces
our ability to serve out the homepages
of our members quickly and efficiently.

Its a long way to the top if you wanna .....CodeGuru

It is ok for me that you want to take a little fee for your WindowEditor, but i cannot understand why you say its just because you are using 2 commercial things.

There is no need for an external DLL (GRID) since you can do this in pb (you will see in next release of my PureForm), and there are also alot of freeware installers around... and i doubt that you only bought the install tool for this editor

Well, its just my 2 cents... but it is ok if someone wants to get paid for their work... no offense here.

so long,

To download just right click and save or paste the link into any download manager , it's the way angelfire works.

of course it can be done a grid , Danilo did a very good one in his dialog editor demo , but i founded the dlls and i decided to concentrate in the rest of the editor.

the reason i want to get paid is simple , making an editor that supports all gadgets with all flags like mine , and produces pb code with the load and save option is rather difficult , you will see it if you are making one. i spent a few months with it and i am happy with the results.

Hi Justin,

Can't resize a button in the Frame3d, moves frame.
The sizebox in top of listview don't work.
Menu Options/Grid Settings/OK , freezes the window with the menu.

Looks a very good start, but i guess it needs some work.
Heavy competition in editors these days

Thanks Bericko for pointing that bugs.

- the freezing bug is fixed , i forgot to enable the menu window after closing the grid window. We don't have dialogs so i have to use these toolwindows.

- the resizing problem of the listicon only happens when you are in report mode , is the way it works , the dll was not designed to resize the listicon in that mode. it's not a major problem you can resize it using the other resizing points. it does not happen with anymore controls.

- the frame3d problem is what i was refering before , it's a problem of the dll, it also happens with the editor example they ship with the dll.

- i fixed a silly bug , the exit menu option did not work (i used always the close buttons)

Bug fixes and updates will be always free for registered users.

I added the text gadget to the demo , now supports text,listicon,frame3d and button.

Well yes... competition is always good for the users...

i personally didnt need all that flags when i started coding PureForm, but it seems that some users request that stuff... its just alot of code... maybe its not that easy, but once you have the main output done it shouldnt be a big problem to implement that.

i dont have much free time at the moment, but i dont want to code on this thing for months since there are other projects iam working on...

lets wait and see...

between, your editor looks pretty nice and i wonder why you didnt release it earlier...

so long,

i was waiting for the PB 3.51 update , also i had to make the demo , set up the payement method , etc.

yes, the flags stuff is mostly a lot of extra code , the tricky part is to translate between gadgets flags and window styles(uses createwindow api), and almost all flag changes are applied on the fly.

your program looks nice , once you implement the visual drag&drop and resizing will be very interesting.
