@Lampton Worm

You are probably running the old version of Rainbow. Run the new one from the Start menu (Start > Programs > BlueGUI 2 > Rainbow UI Editor)

A suggestion for the next update:

I would use that often. I don't know how you work it into a dll.

ok, so i bought blue gui v2
i run dark basic pro with upgrade 5.2

does anyone else use this version?
i have always been very fearful of getting any higher upgrades,
because the fix little and always introduce new problems.

i cut&pasted this code from the help file,


and it makes the button, and makes it look like you clicked it,
but it doesn't display the message.
(yes i used 'startblue "",""')
(i also had to put in the spacekey() then end thing because it seems
to disable my escapekey for me...)

what version DBP does blue work in for you?
(i know 5.7 is recommended but i don't want my 10 months of work
to suddenly be useless.)

does blue work with dark basic classic?

thanks,
bob

Hi Rob,

Yes, that's the one I was launching already.. unless my start menu is confused. 2.00 didn't have a menu entry did it? its new for 2.01?

Cheers.

Did you include the gui.dba constants file in your project?

Quote: "does blue work with dark basic classic?"


No.

Quote: "i run dark basic pro with upgrade 5.2"


That should be fine, I believe that Blue v2 should work with Patch 3 or later.

@lamptonworm

Can you compile and run projects other than Rainbow?

Rob K,

EDIT: Rob, I found a possible soultion. The button will be
updated if I place the eventsource()=cmProject seqment
of code outside the MOUSE_CLICK parse, in the main loop.
Thanks, anyhow.

When I select an item in a combo box, I get the text,
and set it to a button. The text on the button will not
change, though, unless I click on another item or the main
screen. Is there another way to do this?

This code is called from a MOUSE_CLICK eventtype.
cmProject is the combo box, and the button
is btResource. -Thanks

well, i tried putting the file in the same folder: no result
i tried the command ... #include "gui.dba" ... no result

please spell it out for me. it is not obvious.

oh, ok,
you have to actually cut&paste the code from gui.dba into your program. i still say that's not obvious... it works now, though,
and that's what i care about.

thanks,
bob

You can also select "Files" in the editor's right hand pane and add it that way. Usually when you do that, the editor will show gui.dba
in the editor window, so use the little down arrow at the top of the editor screen to switch back to your main code. Don't forget to "Save All."

Hey RobK - VERRRY nice plugin - it'll make things much easier for me who's been *trying* to make a somewhat decent GUI interface with DBPro's inbuilt commands (not somthing I'd recomend as easy!) and although it was turning into a "nice" inteface (as nice as it can get with paste sprite, set sprite diffuse etc... ) but it did teach me a lot about GUI and buttons and everything else along the way.

One question before I go though - how do you add gadgets to individual tabs so that when a different tab is clicked a whole different set of options appears (like the side panel on your BlueIDE)?

Very great plugin, Very professional, Great support, And otherwise a great use of my money.

Create a set of panel gadgets (one for each tab), as children of the tab gadget, sized to fit the main area. Place the appropriate gadgets on each panel (as children of the panel).

When the user selects a tab gadget by clicking it, show the appropriate panel and hide the others.

Much thanks Rob K, guess I can't realy do it in the lil editor you provided and I'll have to hardcode it, just a little extra work. Oh one more thing - any possibility of adding multiline tabs as.. say.. a belated christmas present to all those who have bought BlueGUI?

Hi rob, i had the first version of Blue quite a while ago. But since then i took a break from DB, formatted my PC, blah blah blah. I'm just wondering if i'm still eligible for the free upgrade to version 2? The email address i used when paying last time has become pretty bogged down with spam, and i haven't used it for ages, but i might be able to access it again. Just wondering if its possible and/or what i need to do to get it?
Thanks

Hey Rob K, I'm fairly sure I've found a bug with the rainbow editor, I first made a project, made one panel and made a bunch of gadgets on it, then I made a second panel and then draged all the other gadgets onto it(reorderd it), i then saved it and loaded it and voila! all the gadgets were back on the first panel - here's the project so you can see what I mean...

Can you test a new version of Rainbow for me and let me know if it fixes the problem (if the bug is in the save file as I suspect then you will have to re-reorder the gadgets, save the file and then load it again).

Log into the BlueGUI website, then click the link below:

P.S. One qualm I have with the save feature is that it doesn't export the tabs, you can edit the different tabs inside the editor but they don't export, i'll refrain from further comments till later...

Have a look at the source code for the Tables example. Assuming you are using the latest version of the plugin, open up the BlueGUI help files and go to Examples > Simple Gadget Demos > Tables

Hi Rob. I find myself not being able to select any new gadgets I make, now that I've gone over the 200 gadget limit. So I recompiled rainbow with the MAX_GADGETS constant set to 500, but still no luck. I've searched through the source code and can't find why it isn't working. Do you have any idea?

Isn't it? Wasn't it? Marvellous!

Hi Hamish,

You'll need to make some corrections to the source code, some of the for...next loops use the literal 100 instead of MAX_GADGETS.

Do a search for "for i=1 to 100" and replace each instance with "for i=1 to MAX_GADGETS" in the main source file.

Ah cheers . I did search for the string "200", but it obviously didn't occur in any place relevent. I must have changed MAX_GADGETS to 200 when first compiling it.

The DLL does have four untested functions for this, which have not yet been included in the stringtable.
I should be able to add them very easily:

setToolbarButtonEnabled handle toolbar, int button, bool enabled
setToolbarButtonState handle toolbar, int button, int state
getToolbarButtonEnabled handle toolbar, int item
getToolbarButtonState handle toolbar, int item"


Rob, Is there any way to achieve this with ordnary (non-toolbar) button?

hi

Just got a few questions.

1. Is the string returned from the open dialog limited to 255 characters, as when I select multiple files which have a total of more than 255 characters, windows gives the error "<Part of the actual text in the string> The above file name is invalid". If it is limited, are there any plans to increase the limit - if its possible.

2. Is there a way to get a scroll bar's position when in use, as when you move it the command getScrollbarPosition() returns the scroll bar's unmoved positon, and only when you let the left mouse button go is the actual new position updated.

3. Is it possible to make save and open dialogs with custom options (see the attached picture).

<Edit>

4. Is it possible to stop the main DBP window from being resized, when you drag the sides of the window using your plugin.

</Edit>

Its a great plugin btw.

Hey RobK, the new version of the editor fixes the problem I was talking about before, but as I was playing with it, I found another one, this time with the export to .dba command:

The bug I found was with exporting the main menu to the .dba file, it appears that when you have more than about 3 levels of menu that the program just simply stops exporting any more (example list view in blue)



but when you export it, rainbow won't export the help/about option to the .dba file, I've also included a sample .gui file with simply the menu for you to toy around with.

Cheers,

Is there a way to create hidden?

It was a very useful command in version 1 but I can't find it in version 2.

Also .. to clarify my previous post. Is there a way to keep a button (any button, toolbar or not) depressed even after you have let go of the mouse button? Also, if it can be done is there a way to depress a button using code?

Thanks

Is there a command/way to gather the contents of a directory and put that into a list box, eg a list box that contains *.txt files from a directory? I have a way to do it but its a long method, I was hoping for a command. I havent had a really good look in the help yet. But I havent noticed one when using the help before.

i have not done anything of my own yet with blue gui,
but today was trying some of the examples.

most of them did not do what they were supposed to do.
they ran, and got some result, but not the full intention.

has anyone else had these (lack of) results with the included
demos? here are some of my results:


thanks,

It sounds as though the events code in those examples is not working - which probably means that the GUI constants from gui.dba are not being included correctly. Make sure that gui.dba is included in the projects, and try printing the values of some of the constants in them to the screen to see if they are being included correctly.

If DBPro has an "Option Strict"-type feature it would make life a lot easier!

well, they're your examples, run straight from the files.
and when i try to add the gui.dba file to the project, it says it
already exists, but it still doesn't work.
then i just cut&paste the gui.dba file directly into the programs
(which is what made certain other things work in the past)
but that doesn't work wither.

What version of DBPro are you using?

Just to clarify for the ListBox and Canvas examples - The ListBox example won't add any items to the list when you start it. You type an entry into the text box and then hit "Add Item". The canvas examples should change the button colours slightly when you mouse over them (you can edit the code for a more pronounced effect).

Hi ya,

Rob, can you please fix the online command reference?

http://www.robertknight.me.uk/blue2/site/index.php?view=docs

One other quick thing, currently I have 2 lists. The idea is that when you select an item in the top list, items relating to that selection are then added to the list below. However, I'm getting some strange behaviour, - its likely to be my code (no surprise there!) but I wanted to check incase there were any known bugs in that sort of area.

Mind you, to get the same effect, its probably better that I use the tree type gadget..!

Cheers

Odd, the links work correctly here. Might be a browser issue?

If you could email me a small example I'll have a look at it.

Rob I'm trying to open multiple files using the opendialog command. I can get it to open a few but when I select a lot it doesn't work. It seems to give me a blank string when there are too many characters. Is there a maximum amount of characters that it can handle? Also it divides the file names with commas which means filenames with commas are hard to seperate. Is it posible to change it to a different character that cant be used in a filename? It's not crucial but could be a problem for some.

Here is my test code

Any luck on getting it to work using DGSDK? I remember you were waiting in Mike to get back with you on how it handles strings.
