AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature
Drag & Drop capability. I know that this is complicated but I've asked Peter to look at sending us event information to let the developer actually control the result of the 'drag & drop'

AccuTerm 7 GUI "marquee style" progress bar
We could use a control to let the user know that background processing is taking place. The GAUGE works fine but it takes additional development to show progress. A simpler
method such as a auto-incrementing GAUGE or even a blinking COMMAND control would be work fine.

Thanks, Patrick

AccuTerm 7 GUI Features
All of the following are available in mvDesigner, but for anyone who might have thought about using it, let me tell you, DON'T BOTHER Accuterm is far superior.

1. Coloured Control Buttons.
2. Transparent Background Colour.
3. Icons & Text on Control Buttons.
4. Numeric formatting within Text Boxes.
5. Use of colours in disabled Text Boxes.
6. Alignment of multiple objects within the GUI Designer.
7. Text formatting within Text Boxes, e.g. MCU MCT etc.
8. RETURN key to act like a click whilst in a List.
9. Icon & Picture field type in a grid.
10. List searches currently only work on the 1st character entered, can this be extended to multiple characters?

ACCUTERM is a superb product for us PICK programmers and continues to change the face of PICK Development.

New Feature: Timer control in GUI designer

I'd like a VB timer control to fire events at specified intervals. I'm looking to create "select in progress -- click to cancel" dialogs, but have no timer events to check if the select (or other lengthy processing) has completed.

Hi Rex -

Adding a timer is not really necessary - you can simply use ATGUICHECKEVENT instead of ATGUIWAITEVENT in the event loop. CheckEvent returns with an event code of zero if no event occurs before the specified timeout.

Also, beware that the host process is single-threaded, and if you EXECUTE a select (or some other long operation), the host program will not be able to respond to the event until the EXECUTE completes.

Thanks,

Pete

ATGUICHECKEVENT would work, but it wouldn't be as structured. I was hoping to create a program to fire off a phantom, show the "progress" window, and use the timer/cancel events to check for phantom completion and/or user cancellation.

I'll try to work it out with ATGUICHECKEVENT. Thanks!

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature - transparent background
Is it posible to add a property like border color and background style (transparent or opaque) to objects like frames, pictures (or images)? Border color could apply to almost any control. By the way, when are we looking for the next 'new release'?

Thanks,

Jeanette

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature
I did a search for this and came up with one hit, where Pete says it would be a nice feature. I would like the ability to resize a column in a grid. Something like Excel column resize. Figured this should be included on the wish list.

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature
I would like to skip a "label" column in a grid. If the focus is in col1, and the col2 is a label column, when I finish in col1 I would like to jump to col3.

My great problem with GUI Accuterm is the lose of characters. A input character is lose when the program updates other field. I would like very much this problem was solved in the next release.

Thanks,
Marcos

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature
Control: Tree

New Event: Expand

Description: The expand event would be triggered when the user clicks on the + or - sign on a tree control. Doing this will allow the dynamic changing of the icon property. i.e. changing a Closed Folder to an Open Folder icon when expanding a branch.

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature (2K2 as well)
Tool tip help (Mouse over help) on tree control items nodes. This would allow some help text to be displayed if this control were being used as a main menu.

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature (also 2K2)
Ability to specify the alternate row background colour on a grid.

I do this manually at the moment but it has an overhead especially when deleting or inserting a row to the grid.

Hey Calidore,

I second that one. I remember trying to load up the 'SETPROPS' array with alternating row and column color information and having no success. I think I finally ended up making individual SETPROP calls to specific grid/column coordinates. So, for my purposes, if SETPROPS was able to load multiple color designations to a grid in one call, I'd consider that a real boon!

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature
Could the "Update Code" box be resizable? Many times the name of a control is too long to be completely shown in the Missing or Unused Events sections.

in AccuTerm 7 there is a tooltip that shows the full name for each item in the list

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature
Wish List - Please add the ability to control the tab order of controls, something like the TabIndex Property  that VB uses for controls would be ideal.

There is no TabIndex property - the order of creation (order in the project tree) controls tab order - but there is a TabStop property that can be used to remove a control from the tab order


Posted By: LiveBlues
Date Posted: July 28 2006 at 8:48am
You can control the tab order by the order in which you add the controls. If you want to change the tab order, in the tree on the right, just drag the control and place it in the list where you want it. Hope that makes sense.


Posted By: ProBlazer
Date Posted: July 31 2006 at 3:03am
yes that does make sense.  i knew the order on which you created your control determined the tab order, but I had no idea the order of the control tree determined tab order.  THANKS

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature - see next post
html links.
 

I am not sure if this is already available, but I would like the ability to use html links.  So I could list invoice numbers (ex: 123456 ), and when you click on them, it would pull up a .pdf copy of that invoice.

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature - underline font style
Hi usaeagle -

While you cannot use true html links, you can certainly use labels with underlined text and catch a click event to perform some action.

Thanks,

Pete

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature (checkbox alignment)

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature (status bar)
Status bar on MDI windows.Ged needs to save it's maximized state and the location of the splitter bar between the project tree and the design pane (the default width of the project tree is too narrow, IMHO).vi mode for wed would be nice, or a way to hook up vim to replace wed.

AccuTerm 7 GUI Feature (grid wordwrap property)
Being able to set the height of grid rows would be massively useful for us.  What we'd like to be able to do is have deeper grid rows with multi-line labels/text boxes in it.  Could this be added to the wishlist please?

On a separate note, is there a rough release date for the next version of GUI/Accuterm?Many thanks

Mark
