Form Designer is crazy

[SalG]

Hi,

My OS: Mac OS x Mountain Lion on a MacBookPro 17".

Form designer make me crazy. After any changes in the code of form let me make no more changes:
I try to name the Columns of a ListIconGadget with #PB_Explorer_Size and so on and it make follows:

ListIconGadget(#List_L, 54, 106, 480, 382, "PB_Explorer_Nam", 150)
AddGadgetColumn(#List_L, 1, "PB_Explorer_Siz", 100)
AddGadgetColumn(#List_L, 2, "PB_Explorer_Typ", 100)
AddGadgetColumn(#List_L, 4, "PB_Explorer_Create", 100)

I tried and tried more times, but the result is even the same. At begin of programmin the Form designer worked fine, but after any crashes (?) it began this. It appears, that Form designer after a unknown point cannot more work right,

Can you make a clearer report? I don't understand what's wrong.

Possibly the easiest remedy is to re-install.

Many thanks because of the quick answer!

It is easy: I can't change any in Form designer, after a unknown number of changes (and, of course of many crashes!?) in this Form, directly in the code of the Form instead of graphic mode of designer, because the designer have no possibilities to add new columns in the graphic mode of itself. I try to set columns names as #PB_Explorer_Name, .._Type, and so on. But when I click run to see the look of my Form, the Form is ever the same as before the changes, also in the source of my Form, it ignore all of my changes. I have spend many tries to avoid this, but had no success...

SalG,
you should insert the form as an include in your main program, and then add your gadget properties (lines, column, etc ) in the main program.
Do not edit the form file directly, but only the main program.

You can only modify the code of the pbf file but I wouldn't recommend adding any lines.

You can add columns to a ListIcon in the graphic view, just right click on it and then "Edit columns"

Hi,
may be, Columns as #PB_Explorer_Name don't works for ListIcon-Gadget? When I copy the commands from the form into the "program", delete the form and add a column with Text$ as #PB_Explorer_Name I can only see PB_Explorer_Column_Name as caption for the column. If it is right? "Edit columns" let me to see the same as in Form designer. I think, on the column should stay, as I expect" "Name", "Type" and so on and PB will fit the Filename when I say "AddGadgetItem()"?

Sorry I still don't see whats wrong, #PB_Explorer_Name has nothing to do with a ListIcon gadget?
