Ladies and Gentlemen...

Visual KixForms Designer

 -

Things to point out, It's not Perfect, but it will allow you to create forms with ease.

Things to do.

Assign images from imagelist to toolbuttons.
List builder for combo/list boxes.
Form Drawing tools, eg line, circle, printxy, etc.
Save dialog box would be nice.

If you have any feedback, post it here, or via the fixforms website.

By the way, all the forms in the designer were built using the designer.

Neat !

hmmm ... I know quite a work for you and Shawn in the progress of Kixforms as is , but it won't be perfect (or even visual) without a preview of the design , plus moving of controls in the design view [Wink]

Don't get me wrong ! This is just constructive criticism

I told Shawn that I was thinking of doing this, and he said that he would have a look at a sticky prop for the next release.

I just thought that I'd share what I had done so far, and keep updating it, hopefully, inline with kixform developments.

The designer is WYSIWYG.

Wow - what a first cut !!! You surprised the heck out of me - knowing full well that there very little support for doing any of this kind of stuff - brilliant (really).

The fact that you cant have an embedded form is just a limitation of the library - not anything else. But now that I know were your heading with this - can add the appropriate support going forward. Well done.

First bug report:

Clicking the "Maximize" button brings the Designer to an uncontrolled state. ??

Ghost/Shawn..

Like the new kixform!

Kind of a wild idea here.. How about drag 'n drop support?

Ghost !

I am so sorry for the point 'w/o a preview of the design'

That shot was surely too fast ! It is there ... Sorry ,

Couple of things though to start :

-> Add a FileSave/ Open Dialog (kind of) , you know ... like a project you work and you leave it on for later revamping (Better place for these to store (by default) would be a subfolder in the Folder of the Designer)

-> Make the form as is controlable/ changeable by the property / value List

-> Really great work by now ... I owe and gave you already your 5 Stars ! [Big Grin]

Great tool...overall
How about an option to Open a script that you've been working on previously. That would be pretty kewl.

Insert Signature here,

That is the next task I'm working on.

I've updated the script with the following options:

Listbox/combobox list generator
Save dialog box
Colour selection for back/fore colour (color)
Form props can now be edited

I'm going to upload it this afternoon.

Rod, are you going to put it on the KixForms site?

Using KIX is great.
