Hi Shakeshuck,

Thanks, that should be most useful. You can e-mail it to me to jerome@ecere.com if it's small enough, or make it available anywhere I can download it...

Calculations will indeed confuse the form designer (and it will not have a visible area to work with if a 'size' or 'clientSize' isn't explicit set on the form being edited). The designer should however leave alone those calculations (it should not overwrite them with 0 or bad values). Which version...

Sorry the IDE is giving you a hard time. There seems to be a lot of things annoying you here. Perhaps if we could take a calm look at these issues one by one we could: A) help you avoid them or working around them for the time being and B) figure out a way to solve them so they do not frustrate you ...

Hi shakeshuck, Yes setting the bool value pointing to by 'goOnWithActivation' to 'false' prevents the activation process from continuing. This is for trickier scenarios. Actually what I can see in where this is currently used is this is being to prevent 'inactivation', rather than 'activation' (i.e....

Hi again, After testing it out, turns out that defaultAlignment doesn't help much with anything at all regarding DataBox, probably why it isn't used anywhere ;) What does work to edit right-aligned numbers (e.g. currency, see extras/types/Currency.ec) or text, is creating a DataBox with 'autoSize' s...

Feel free to ask questions, this is what these forums are for, and we realize the documentation is lacking. By the way, we're hoping to address that very soon, but we're awaiting switching over to a text format for the .eCdoc files that store the API documentation, so that it is easier to collaborat...

Hi shakeshuck, You're very good at figuring this out ;) That's exactly how it works. Yes, it's kind of awkward. Definitely something we hope to improve in the whole GUI revamp/overhaul. The reason the last one is the one that is defined is because it is the last one that is created and controls are ...

After playing around with it, I think you would still require two clicks to check a check box part of a DataField, because the ListBox only supports a single DataBox (for editing) created at a time. Here is an example: import "ecere"   class MyCheckBool : bool { Window OnEdit(DataBox dataB...

fullRowSelect -- basically, it is not meant to be used with editable / selectable fields. It's meant for either having only a single field, or highlighting/selecting only the first field and displaying extra info on columns on the right. In most cases it's used with a single field (e.g. the project ...

Hi again! Make things editable -- Each field must be set editable with 'editable = true'. Currently, the ListBox supports a range of use case scenarios, but there may be combinations of those options which do not work as you would expect. For example, selecting individual cells rather than entire ro...
