I've just about gotten the next IDE release ready for testing. I need to rebuild
the
testing group. If anyone would like to test drive Bleeding Edge IDE, please send
me
a private e-mail.

Here are the changes so far:

Fixed problem with Manage Include Statements where using folder browse to 
select a new path was not passed onto the project file. You must reuse the 
folder browse in Manage Include Statements to correct the problem in existing 
projects. 

Fixed problem when reading some Manage Include Files an extra "\" was written 
to project file. You will need to edit your project file which have multiple "\"
after the path; once the project is saved again the path is corrected in the 
project file.
 
Fixed problem with project save (saveAs) in which the project dir was not
removed
from EXW include statement file name.
 
Filenames (BitMap, Icon, ListView Icon) have projectDir path removed for project
file and generated EXW.
 
Opened Properties 'parent' field for user input for those controls that user
wants
to make a child control to a control that normally is not a parent, such as 
Bitmap on a PushButton control. When clicking 'parent' if the control is within
any
other control, a dropdown box of eligible parents is provided as well as an
entry
which may be used to remove parenting or assign to the control's higher parent. 
IDE will attempt to attach the last control it is inside of but user should
inspect
'Parent.' If the override parent is deleted, the controls it is override
parented to
are deleted. Moving the override parent also moves child controls linked to it
and
their child controls. The over-ride parent Name is saved in the project file.
This
release is more or less a concept release for parenting using this method.
 
Control may be resized to edge of Window1 with mouse as long as Design is not
maximized to Form.
 
TabItems may have duplicate Titles. Toolbar TabItem combo entries are now
TabItem Names.

Opened up 'Styles Type' in Properties for controls as well as Window. 

Added new button to Menu and Popup editors to delete selected item plus any
subs.

Added Menu Item "Save Without Asking" to Code Editor.

I'd like to get one more item solved: Many people are unhappy with the action
within TreeView when a
Menu, Popup or Timer jumps to the bottom of Window1 within Form when their
respective editors are used. The only solution
I can come up with at this time is to do something like the little demo below.
I'd appreciate some
comments from IDE users.

This "feature" can be disabled. In IDE, open code editor.
Under options, check the last item "Name change in properties...".
IDE should be changed so it is off by default, since it is buggy.

There is another solution. If you set NAME to wait for Enter or Tab key in
configurations the name change
will not activate until the full Name is entered and will match correctly in the
name change routine. But you must remember to presses Enter or Tab key before
clicking anywhere else in
Properties.
