PB.Ex-Wishes

Hello,

I have already implemented some libraries (send JSON to a website with HTTPS support, WMI, speech recognition, MSSQL, FTP/SFTP/FTPS).
If you have wishes for another library that you absolutely want to use in PB, you are welcome to post here.

Happy Easter.

Thank your for your answer.

That's right.

1- Grid
2- RibbonBar
3- PropertyBox
4 - advanced Buttons
Good ideas

This will probably be my next library. I have tried to implement this control:
Image

So far, it works. Now I have to wrap all methods and properties and events.

Hi Louise / Ray...

One thing I really miss is Visual Basic's 'Data Aware' controls. It made building data aware forms much easier.

see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previo ... 7(v=vs.60)

So a series of 'Data Aware' controls would be terrific, and could one day be included in PB itself. :D

A few years back, I would have loved a property box which was configurable to use custom controls. I had a need for a "compass" control, that could handle pointing N, S, SE, etc. A must-have for level editors for the game I was working on.

I'm sorry, but I haven't programmed since, because I haven't had that much time. I hope to be able to continue the development next weekend.

@Louise
Database binding comes later.

@mohsen
Unfortunately, it is not so easy to create a PropertyGadget for PB because the PropertyGrid is always bound to an object or class. I'am sorry. Maybe someday I'll find a solution.

Hello RSBasic and thank you for your exemplary work
your DLLs with their well-documented function sets, are an extension to PB
would it be possible instead of DLLs to have lib ?
(I don't know the subject well, but I did a test (with MLF and MiniLib), it seems to work)

Hi RSbasic.
That's a cool idea.

Some more advanced options concerning text in a canvasgadget (and therefore for imagegadgets) to manage centering and automatic line breaks.
It's not very complicated in itself but I didn't have the courage to make a lib/module so I usually use (at least for centering) a classic procedure.

Something Like

Code: Select all

DrawCanvasText(ID, text.s, $textcolor, #PB_CanvasTextCenter|#PB_CanvasTextWordWrap)

@pf shadoko
As far as I know you can create a lib file with polib.exe.

@ar-s
This is not possible because the PB team created the CanvasGadget themselves. I cannot modify or extend the CanvasGadget.
