Looks nice, but IMO the buttons are a bit oversized.

After I've looked at them agin, I realized that you're right of course  But forgive me, I don't have any experience in dialog design, and I want to gain it now |

I'm no expert in dialog design either, it's jus taht I like dialog when they'r not taking more space than necessary (even if I'm running at max res for my screen I the screnends to get full with all these dialogs
 ). But let's remember the GUI adjustements can wait 'till we've gotten the important part working, the backwork _________________ ... a professor saying: "use this proprietary software to learn computer science" is the same as English professor handing you a copy of Shakespeare and saying: "use this book to learn Shakespeare without opening the book itself. - Bradley Kuhn |

Hi, decard.
Good work. Your dialogs looks good. Maybe you should use one dialog only for both - search and replace. Only hide (or simply disable) replace edit window.
About keyboard problems: This is problem in form.asm. It will be solved in the next versions. I think your work will not be affected by these changes - simply keyboard (tab/shift-tab/enter/esc) will working. Think how the search results will be displayed. If the search is in one file this is not a problem (standard behaviour with positioning on the found word and function FindNext), but if the search is in multiply files, we will need some result window (maybe listbox). When the user dbl click on the some line, the file will be opened in the editor. Regards. |

I've just uploaded new screenshots - with normal size buttons

I will try how will it look in practice, but IMO it would be better to have two separate dialogs...

Hm, I ever wonder, why the direction radiobuttons are needed. Maybe we can make the search function without them?

Heh.... maybe because all find/replace dialogs have them
I don't use this, but you never know when such an option could be useful... |

look better, but the buttons could be moved to the void area.
About teh direction raios, they're good IMO, because if you know that the string you''re lokkin for is above or belov then it's faster to find it (rather then F3ing untill the right occurance) _________________ ... a professor saying: "use this proprietary software to learn computer science" is the same as English professor handing you a copy of Shakespeare and saying: "use this book to learn Shakespeare without opening the book itself. - Bradley Kuhn |

They look great!
I don't think the buttons are oversized, but I don't care as long as they are big enough to click and small enough to not take up the entire screen. And I use the direction radios sometimes when doing find/replacing. |

Now I will add some functionality to that dialogs, and then think about redesigning it - not perfectly looking but working dialog is better than non-working but perfectly designed

John,
I've got the following problem: when using TWinTemplate to create dialogs, I want to do some initialisation (ie. setup radiobuttons and checkboxes). Where should I do it? I can't use WM_CREATEWINDOW, because when it is called, controls in the dialog do not exists yet
Maybe we could send some special message to the dialog in ShowModal function when it is created? We could use even WM_INITDIALOG... regards |

Hi, decard.
I know this problem. Actually I think we will use WM_INITDIALOG or something similar. On other hand, I think to keep parameters of the controls in the TWinTemplate structure in the future. For now you can make initialization after stdcall CreateForm and before ShowModal. Note: CreateForm returns handle in ebx. It is more useful. You can get handles of the controls via: GetDlgItem. I am almost ready with TAB.SHIFT TAB/ENTER behaviour. Regards. |

Hi John,
By now I'm having those dialogs almost working (with single sourcefile by now), and currently I'm implanting them into Fresh. I've got a small question: I want to make 'F3' key a shortcut of Find next function. How can I do it? It works with 'Ctrl+F3', 'Alt+F3', but how to make it work with a single key? regards |

Just an idea (i plan to implement this in RosAsm too...), in the room for a fourth Group Box, you could add a "Search in what" Flag:
* Complete Search * Skip comments * Search Declarations only ... or something like this... Betov. |

Hi, decard.
I though that you are using MainActionList in actions.inc file to insert new action. In this case, you set key accelerators like parameter of the action. Use 0 if you don't want ctrl, alt or shift key to be pressed. Something like this: Code: actFindNext, -1, 'Find &Next', <0, VK_F3>, 'Repeat the next search', OnFindNext Regards |

Yea, that options would be useful. But IMO the best way to implement them will be to change asmedit control, not to add it into dialogs' code. But now I just want to make those dialogs work properly with at least single sourcefile. (I would finish it today, but I've had a school trip and I've just come back hehhehe
). Back to work when get rest |

John,
I've just make the dialogs work with Fresh v1.0.0A. This is version now doesn't work with more than one sourcefile, but all other features are implemented. The package contains file diff.txt with some information on what files I've modified, etc. [EDIT]Outdated attachment removed. Now it is a part of Fresh project[/EDIT] Last edited by decard on 18 Oct 2003, 18:03; edited 1 time in total |
