I have created a Gambas 2 project that contains some user controls, and I would like to make it a component.
I have successfully compiled and installed the component, including its .component, .list and .info files in their proper places. So now I can insert the controls provided by my project into a form in the Gambas IDE. Still, some things do not work as I imagine they should, and I have some questions: - Can I make the IDE's property window display the public properties that are new with my controls, compared to UserControl? This would be most helpful, in fact, it was the main reason why I wished to make a component. I have seen that there is a hidden property named _Properties to every control class which obviously contains the names of the properties to display in the IDE. Can I assign values to this property in Gambas code, and will this have the desired effect? - My controls do not draw themselves when inserted into a form in the IDE. They only draw a rectangle and the name of the control. Can I make them show their real look in the IDE? As for visualization (which works very well once a form containing my controls has been launched), my controls draw themselves through a DrawingArea that fills them completely. - In the toolbox, my controls are represented by tool buttons displaying only a question mark. Can I make the Gambas IDE's toolbox display my self-defined controls with an icon of my choice? - In the "components" tab of the project properties dialog, my component is listed as "not finished but stable" but without a description. How can I make the description show? The project, including full HTML documentation in English, is to be found under www.sourceforge.net/projects/gambasmeasuring/ Thanks for any help to come, Daniel Fuchs ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Gambas-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gambas-user
