Hi all,
If there's a feature you really need or something you think would be quick to add and useful could you please let me know here (you can also post a link to something you've requested before).
It's unlikely any of it can be ready for 5.30 but we can already think about next version.
I've added the 2 missing gadgets for 5.30 as that was urgent so at least it's done!
Remember you can also donate to support the form designer development using the link below!

Thanks all for your support!

A missed feature is to add own gadgets, like PureForm by gnozal.

Hi Polo,
The "donate" button on your page goes to a French language form !!
Also, I couldn't see a "top menu" on your page !!

Hi Polo - how about a mind reading function, so we don't have to type any more?

* select multiple gadgets with the mouse
* add an allways visible thin border to the gadget to see their boundaries
* display the gadgets with its selected fonts
* remove a selected color / font without modifying the source
Thanks in advance & Greetings ... Peter

thanks, but i know the possibility to select multiple gadgets with Ctrl & Mouseclick.
What i mean is to select the gadgets with a 'mouse frame'.
Greetings ... Peter

Automatic generation of BindMenuEvent() / BindGadgetEvent() and callback procedures, based on the gadget names. Example:
Code: Select all
Procedure Button_Ok_Event()
....
EndProcedure
....
BindGagdetEvent(Button_Ok, @Button_Ok_Event())

Hi
When I select more than one gadget and then set the font , height, width, readonly etc. I would like to have all the controls to be changed. When I try it now it appears that only one control gets the changes. I think if the gadgets all share the same property then you should be able to set it once for the selected controls and they should all get the change.
The other suggestion I have is to have the ability to not lose code when switching from Design to Code views. The way I suggest this to be handled is to put a specially formatted comment after the form designer generated code. Anything following this comment would not be lost.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi
Another feature would be "Run Form" which would compile and run the form so you can see the form running and be able to interect with it. Currently you must add some code such as WaitWindowEvent otherwise the form is not displayed and execution completes.

When a gadget is placed in the Designer, the extents of any other gadgets already there is not shown, making it to easy to accidentally overlap them. I suggest showing a faint grey rectangle around each gadget.
Option to switch off Snap-to-Grid (without going to File/Preferences etc).
New gadget should become the active one for the attributes list.
Gadget Size inputs via Spin Gadgets instead of String Gadgets.
Instead of the OS Skin being an option in preferences, have a toggle button so that the developer can quickly see the form in each OS style.
If a gadget is moved from the Window to a Container, retain it's displayed position relative to the Window.
