theide.exe is 8.5 megabytes now. It looks like you've uploaded the debug build ...

Strange... It's too big. I'll check it. Thanks for reporting.

I've tried to compile Uvs2 with last svn version of Upp, but I've found missing qualifiers to function GetCountTick() in plugin/ftp/lib/ftplib.cpp . Writing UPP::GetCountClick() solved the problem.

Xubuntu 7.10 with gcc 4.1.3 and, yes, the previous was a horrible bug report: I wrote the function name wrong for two times Embarassed

This is the corrected version:

I've tried to compile Uvs2 with last svn version of Upp, but I've found missing qualifiers to calls to function GetTickCount() in plugin/ftp/lib/ftplib.cpp, lines 484, 491 . Writing UPP::GetTickCount() solved the problem.

May I ask you to update uppsrc/ide/Makefile next time you release Upp? Current Makefile is not up-to-date and sometimes people do not have permissions to install prebuilt version of Upp into /usr or /usr/local. So, there is no way to generate that Makefile.

I'd make it for NOGTK + Optimal + Shared configuration.

TIA

Novo

Actually, the right thing to do right now is to delete the Makefile. Maintaining it is a job of Linux release maintainer, unfortunately it seems like Bas does not have a time for it right now Sad

A couple of issues:
1- ArrayCtrl NoBackground doesn't work. I reaised this issue in this thread, but the change still hasn't made it into the release.
ArrayCtrl.cpp line 740 should be (I think):

if (!nobg) w.DrawRect(r, SColorPaper);

2- In DropList, some members that were previously protected are now private. I was using these to implement Remove:

	void Remove(int i) {
		key.Remove(i);
		list.Remove(i);
		Adjust();
	}

Since I can no longer do this, could Remove be added to DropList please?

Otherwise very nice release Smile

Does the additon of MultiButton mean that the funny Linux scrollbars (with two button at the bottom) are now emulated?

Thanks, both patches applied.

Thanks. I do have one more problem though:

The new DropDate/DropTime ctrls are very nice, a big improvement over the previous versions. However, I have a custom Date control that I want to have the same functionality. I previously did this by reproducing some of the DateTimeCtrl code, but with the new template structure I should be able to do this with:

class MyDropDate : public DateTimeCtrl<MyEditDate>

Unfortunately because the bodies of some of the DateTimeCtrl member functions are in a cpp file you can't use the template with anything not defined in the header (ie DropTime and DropDate).

Would it be possible to move the bodies of these functions into the header? There are only four functions without too much code.

Cheers,
James

I don't see any problem. Expect it in the next dev. BTW: Why do you need custom dropdate. Just for your own edit? What's missing in standard EditDate? Maybe we could improve it.

There seems to be a little problem with the chameleon Button::StyleScroll. If the button if small, you get a nice looking button, but if you apply the style to a really large button, you get a blurry image. Such large buttons are quite rare, but I can imagine some cases where I would like a vertical very wide scroll bar. I attached a picture.

Edit: also, there are some minor differences in look under Windows Vista when compared to native widgets and there is no animation when mouse enters or leaves. Quite minor issue. Is this beyond the capabilities of Chameleon?

Thanks. There are three things I need:
1) The system the application is a front-end for uses an integer date type that is different from the Upp Date int type. For convienience it is easiest to have a custom Convert that can accept this type. Obviously there is no point adding this.
2) I do some key handling so that the user doesn't have to type the date seperators themselves, so they can just type 020807 and have 02.08.07 in the field. I guess this could be added as an option and based on GetDateFormat, but would anyone else want it?
3) I want NullText set for every date field, and it's easiest to do this in the consructor.

Animation is beyond Chameleon for now. Other minor differencies should be ironed out throught the time (and reports are welcome).

Okay, one more thing. When DropList is used as a frame (which btw. is now quite inconvienient since you can't use the TopFrame etc. templates) the background of the 'item' area is SColorFace instead of SColorPaper.

I'll stop now, I promise.

One more thing. Visual Studio 8 detection is not that good. My VS had no C++ installed, yet it though that I had and even tried to use the inexistent C compiler.

I think there is also a transparency issue under Vista. It can be seen in Image06 from sample projects. I tested in on 2 different Vista machines. Picture attached.
