SysInfo, Functions4U and Controls4U packages [message #23968]

Hello all

There are two new packages in Bazaar:

- Functions4U
It includes part of SysInfo functions, the more useful like String and file handling.
Now SysInfo has the subset of more "special" functions like Desktop grabbing or mouse moving. Many programs do not need them.
As SysInfo package includes Functions4U there have to be no problems with actual programs.

- Controls4U
It includes additional controls both simple looking as EditFolder and more nice looking as Meter and StaticClock.
All these controls are supported in the layout editor so that you see what you will get in the running program.
The graphic controls use Painter. Compare the difference between Draw in layout editor and Painter in running program...

index.php?t=getfile&id=2038&private=0

I think Painter is worthwhile (and the code is almost the same) Smile

Oh, I saw it yesterday but I forgot to upload it.
I moved a function few days ago and I forgot this auxiliary function Rolling Eyes

It is now fixed in SVN 1805. Thank you ! Smile

Hi Koldo,

ok, after i Download the Version 1805 the Demo is working.
But the Controles4u more Controles ends with this Message:

There were errors. (6:03.68)

I think, you know the reason?!

Thanks for your work and support,

Dieter

Hello Dieter

I understand that the package Controls4U_demo works well for you.

What is the package are you compiling ?. What is "Controles4u more Controles" ?

Hello Koldo,
I have one suggestion for StaticArrow(and StaticLine), could you use enumerations for SetOrientation and SetEnds i believe it's simple(more portable) to use an enum than entering a string which depends on encoding.

In example:

enum ArrowEnds
{
  LeftEnd,
  RightEnd,
  LeftRightEnd,
  NoEnd
};

arrow.SetEnds(LeftEnd);

The only inconvenient is that you have to find the right naming for orientations and ends. Razz

Hello Andrei

You are right in all. I will put the two systems.

The idea came about for example I do not know a nice way to define with an enum a line like this Smile

Well, I found this "_┌" as the best Smile

Hello andrei_natanael

Changes done, uploaded and documented.

Now there are enums to be used in SetOrientation() and SetEnds():

	enum LineOrientation {OrVert, OrHor, OrNW_SE, OrSW_NE, OrNW_SE_HVH, OrSW_NE_HVH, OrNW_SE_VHV, OrSW_NE_VHV};
	enum ArrowEnds {EndLeft, EndRight, EndLeftRight, NoEnd};

The initial String options remain as there are more intuitive Smile
