1. Re: win32lib: IDE
Judith,
Tried your new(est) version, & here's what I notice in the code edit window:
1. Scroll bar now works, but when I scroll down, nothing happens in the
text window until I *click* on the scroll control (or in the text window
itself);
2. on my system, the "last line in text window" fix introduces a slightly
weird action: the lower part of the cursor bar extends onto the frame of
the window, and when mouse is moved, it leaves behind "tick marks" on the
window frame;
And in general:
I pretty much agree with David about the floating palette of controls, I
think it would be better as one window with the code edit window; I was
going to try to hack it, but haven't gotten to it;
It might be a nice touch to add a "delete control" button to the
"properties" window, that way the user wouldn't have to remember to hit
"delete" key to remove a control;
On my system, if I click on the "windows list" triangle/arrow, (when there
is only one window), I get a little like single list box with close together
up/down scroll controls show up, which might be sorta unavoidable, but it
also does *not* move with the controls palette window (if you move it, that
little list box stays printed on the code edit window until it's clicked on;
same if there is more than one window listed in that list box)
The "tabbed folder" control works interestingly, but I wonder if you might
not want to allow user to put more than one in a window ? (I think you can't
right now, sorry if I misunderstand how it works) In other words, maybe a
button to make the tab *control* (just like others, where you can put one or
more in a window), and *another* button to add tabs *to* the selected tab
control? Dunno if people would really want to put more than one tab folder
in a window, but someone might?
And it seems like when you "run" a program for the first time (or maybe it's
the *very* first time you run a program, and it works ok after that), it
does *not* know to take the current directory as a default (for saving the
prj file), or if it wants to let you choose where to save it, it doesn't
select the current directory as initial default; I suspect the other "file"
dialogs probably work the same, and that it might be hard to see this,
'cause once you've selected the directory (like, the directory the IDE is
in), once, it uses that one fine thereafter.
Oh, and it would be useful if when the user "ran" the program under
development, and then quit the run, if it automatically re-opened the
control/edit windows instead of leaving them minimized.
That's enough for now :)
