Couple questions/"features" about Judith's IDE
Used it today for a project that I'd been putting off as not worth the
trouble. Very, very good, and very handy.
But....
There were a couple things. I had it crash on me once, and I don't know
why. I was never able to duplicate it, and I was multitasking pretty
heavily so I don't remember what might have caused it. More later if it
happens again. If not, no problem.
Also, weird behavior from the group control. I originally had a form
layed out without groups, then decided it would look better and be
easier to change it if I had a bunch of EditTexts on groups instead. So
I moved them over. I had the darnedest time getting them to work right.
I would try to edit the location in the property sheet so that I could
line them up, but it kept sending them to the location as soon as I
started typing the numbers, so if it was supposed to be 100, it would
send it to location 1.
That wasn't the worst part. Sometimes after it would do that, it would
automatically go to the next control, so I would be typing in the wrong
location for that control also. Quite the pain.
Then after I had it set and saved, I tried to move the group, and all of
them moved fine except one. None of the controls moved with that group.
I have no idea what was different about that one.
Seems it would be really handy to have a multiple select (I've mentioned
this before), or to make it clear how to do it if it's already there. It
doesn't seem to follow the Windows standard if it is.
Another thing that would go well would be a way to lay out controls in a
grid, automatically. There may be a way now, but it wasn't obvious if
so.
One other thing: is there going to be some documentation at some point?
Most of the stuff was pretty intuitive if you've used VB or Builder or
Delphi before, but I wasn't sure about how to use the code editor
(though I figured it out eventually) or the module stuff.
Still, even with the small flaws, well worth the time spent on it. Good
job!
