Need to fix warning message concerning handler definition
Hi Larry,
I have a feature wish :
either an adjustable grid with snapping which could help positiong of controls with out having to look at the numeric values
or
putting a colored rectangle around all controls at design time, whether they are selected or not to support positioning.
Or perhaps both
Thanks,
Richard
EDIT: Both wishes are done and will be in next release
thanks Richard
I will look into both when I go back to revisit IWB+.
Please have a look at the Auto Indent routines ot the code editor, too.
Doesn't work here.
Thanks
Richard
EDIT: Auto Indent and AutoComplete are done and will be in next release

I'll make the grid an option so those who don't want controls to snap to the grid alignment don't have to use it.
Also, people who want to use it will have different ideas about how big the grid dimensions will be so that value will have to be an option
Leads to a question:
Should only the upper left corner snap to a grid coordinate and the height/width of the control stay the same or should the lower right corner also snap to grid?
I'd say only the upper left and let the width/height stay what the user has set to the default preference and/or what the user has set them to.
Need ya'lls opinion.

In my opinion this would be okay
Richard
All previous wishes prior to this date and posted in this thread are done and will be in the next release
The release will be made as soon as the documents are updated.
Hi Larry,
what about a menu entry and button to open the IWBasic help file ?
Thanks
Richard

Somebody (I don't know who ::)) needs to read the IWB+ Help File (or at least look at
the IWB+ main menu Editors/Help Menu and Editors/Tools Menu.)
Maybe reading the features list here (http://www.ionicwind.com/forums/index.php?topic=4626.msg36180#msg36180)
will provide insight. :o :o
;D ;D Sorry, I know I'm being tacky but I just couldn't resist!! :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D
Today I've been married 46 years and I've been full of it all day.
LarryMc,
Congratulations on such a long, and hopefully, happy marriage.
Kinda wish I could say the same. Been at it five times in 66 years.
May you have 46 more.
Bill
P.S. Thanks for 1.04
Hi Larry,

Won't reach this coz I married too late >:(

RitchieF has reported a bug that causes IWB+ to crash.
I've duplicated the problem and as soon as I get it fixed I will be releasing a new version.
Thanks for V1.05 !
Works fine here
Richard
Larry,
Love your avatar - a very distinguished gentleman .. :)
I've put mine up for a while - I think I prefer Pooh Bear ::)
Best wishes, :)
Graham
I think you need to leave your picture up, instead of pooh bear.
If I select from the menu 'Save Project as' or from the toolbar 'Copy Current Project' IWB+ loads the project again using the new name of the project.
But in the Code Editor the listbox shows now some *.IWB files with the first 3 characters of the filename missing so you can't load them again.
Please have a look

Larry,
I was attempting to create a dialog window last night, and when I pressed the "Test" button,
it showed my dialog as a full window, with no borders, and no titlebar. Is this normal behaviour?

Depends..
What boxes, if any, did you have checked in the properties dialog?
Larry,
clicking the - sign in front of SUB to fold the code folds the code but complete from here to the end of the code.
Is this correct ?

folding is controlled by
iwb+SciLexer.dllit is written in c; I don't know c or have a c compiler.
added it to my list of things to do to see if I can make the dll that comes with IWBasic work
thanks for the feedback
UPDATE: After a quick check it appears doable but will be a major programming effort so it won't happen anytime soon.
No need to hurry!
Just noticed it and wanted to tell you .
Richard
Larry,
Had bother replicating it again, but it appears to be when you have Border selected
in the Properties box

If you don't have Titlebar box checked you won't have a title bar.

--------------------------
Fixed
· Code Folding, in the Code Editor window, was not working properly.
Thanks Larry

Appears I left a console window open on the last release. It being there and being open won't hurt anything.
I'll check closer on the next release.
Hi Larry
1) Can you please more properties for each control like in visual basic properties window.
2) Add for each event an predefined framework for ScrollBar, TrackBar, EditControl, ButtonControl
3) Can you please this controls in the toolbox:
a) Common DialogControls
- ColorDialog
- FontDialog
- SaveFileDialog
- OpenFileDialog
- MessageDialog
- PrinterDialog
- PrintPreviewDialog
- etc
b) Common Controls
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773169(v=vs.85).aspx
- Animation Control
- ComboBox Control
- Header Control
- HotKey Control
- Timer Control
- ImageList Control
- IP Address Control
- Pager Control
- ProgressBar Control
- PropertySheet Control
- Rebar Control
- SysLink Control
- TaskDialog
- ToolBar Control
- Tooltip Control
c) Custom Controls
- Canvas Control
- Image Control
- Picture Control
- Media Control
- Grid Control
- TCP / UDP Control
- Inet Control
- SerialPort Control
I like your Visual Designer and want to see this features in the next release
Thanks
Kind regards
Stephane
got the list.
I am hip deep in re-writing the parser in iwb right now.
Can still only sit at the puter about an hour before pain drives me away.

I don't own visual basic; I don't look at visual basic; therefore I have no idea what you are talking about.

Give me the exact code you would like to see for each of the above four controls.

First there is no "toolbox" so I assume you mean the "Control ToolBar"
Second, there are no such things as Dialog controls. Dialogs are are opened via a button or a menu option. For me to try to nest their location on a form would cause a nightmare. Not going to happen.

ComboBox and ProgressBar Controls are already in the "Control ToolBar"
The ToolBar Control is handled via the Toolbar Editor and the Form Editor's Property box.
Note: Many of these controls have been added to IWB3.x's Form Editor
Quote from: Techno on June 18, 2015, 02:22:52 AM
c) Custom Controls
- Canvas Control
- Image Control
- Picture Control
- Media Control
- Grid Control
- TCP / UDP Control
- Inet Control
- SerialPort Control
Most of the these specific custom controls will never be added. However, I may add a generic "custom control" (as I did in IWB3.x) to allow a place holder so that the user may insert their specific code for a custom control.

Look at the examples of this designers : FireFlySDK Visual Designer or the Poenix Visual Designer.
You can implements all the messages of the controls and window as "properties" and all the notification messages as "events"
Is is not possibly the rewritten the designer in the OOP concept?
You can also the macro's by some controls as properties
Example from the scrollbar:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ff486027(v=vs.85).aspx
Scroll Bar Messages --> implement this as properties

SBM_ENABLE_ARROWS
SBM_GETPOS

SBM_SETPOS

Well, I can see 15 scrollbar constants already in the help file index

Techno, you're really pissin' me off now.
It is obvious that you haven't read the Help file that comes with IWB+.
It's also obvious that you have merely skimmed over the operation of IWB+ and for some reason think it should look and act just like Visual Basic or these two Power Basic Visual Designer you now want me to look at as examples and copy.
I banned you from here for over a year because you wanted the people at PowerBasic to copy things from IWB+ and now you are wanting me to copy things from these two programs. Not smart on your part. When I get through explaining what you have missed by not reading the help file and exploring IWB+ a little more I'm banning you again from posting.
1st, I am aware that not all controls listed in the windows SDK are not included in the Control Toolbar.
2nd, you said I needed to implement messages and structures as properties and constants and windows notifications.
And you said it like I hadn't done it.
As an example create a form and drag a RichEdit control on to it.
We'll look at constants first.
click on the RE control to make sure that it is selected.
over in the Property Window right-click in the edit control to the right of Style
Select Styles from the popup menu
The Style Management dialog opens with a total of 15 flags with 3 being used.
Those 3 will appear in the CONTROL statement for the RE control.
Close the dialog
While the RE is selected, right-click on the RE itself
Select Manage Handlers from the popup menu
The Manage Handlers dialog opens
In this case you are given 10 event handlers to pick from or you can add your own
The one(s) you want to use you just move over to the right side and then close the dialog.
I picked 3 and it automatically created these 3 handlers for them
SUB OnKillFocus_createdb_dlg_RICHEDIT1(),INT
'TODO: write handler code
RETURN FALSE
ENDSUB
SUB OnChange_createdb_dlg_RICHEDIT1(),INT
'TODO: write handler code
RETURN FALSE
ENDSUB
SUB OnSetFocus_createdb_dlg_RICHEDIT1(),INT
'TODO: write handler code
RETURN FALSE
ENDSUBAs far as structures; since I wouldn't know where to automatically place the code in a program I don't handle structures.
So you see, what you are trying to tell me how to do and to copy from others I am already doing.

Okay
I give it a try Larry!
Is it not useful an kind for framworks for the events for the scrollBar and TrackBar? and set the properties at design time for each control it's easier for the developer and RAPID the window application faster
I hate VisualBasic and does not used it
Kind regards
