OK, the latest source is there. The changes today include the addition of a spinedit control, and buttons can have their label's changed dynamically simply by setting their button#.caption property.

I noticed a problem when I call the function gtk_widget_set_usize. It doesn't work.

It seems to work the first time that they are both > 0 but after that they don't seem to do anything.

I'm going to look at it again, but take a 's called each time the height, left, top, or width are adjusted for a TControl. If you change the button's width and height in the MAIN.PP file, you'll notice that they never get bigger/smaller than their original size, yet you CAN move them by changing the left and top.

Interesting. If you notice the same thing, please let me know because I am not sure if it is me or the function messing up.

Thanks

yep I am going to find out here in a minute when I start banging away at the editor.

I have all weekend to make it sing.

You shouldn't have to do it in anykind of cheap way. The loadfromfile and savetofile methods are available in the fcl using streams. The TStrings uses it already and very well.

I have updated CVS with my chjanges from last night. Nothing big. I added Tool Tips to TControl so anything created can have a hint added to it.

I don't really like how they look and will look into changing them a bit.

Thanks Cliff.

I will create the TOpenDialog tonight. Just make believe that it's there for the time being and work on the editor. If you could get a colorizer working, or converted to pascal, that would be great.

Shane you are da man. I guess that I should work with TApplication this evening.

I am also going to go after the editor and compiler screens this weekend. I guess we should look at creating TOpenDialog soon so that we can get a editor running.

Cliff

Yea I am not even going to worry about the colorizer for now. I say we just bang out our IDE now and get something to the rest of the world. I believe it will build a immediate interest in our project and maybe put a few more hands on the code. If we concentrate on the IDE we will have something usable in a few days I sincerely believe. I cannot wait to blow the text editors.

;)

Thats ok I did not add any code last night while I was fighting the dyynamic captioning thing.
