Taking into account all suggestions, I came out with two possible layouts:
Option 1 = Buttons at the bottom of the form (like in my previous version)
Option 2 = Buttons at the right of the form (like in the original version)
i forgot to ask in my previous post... have you seen the find/replace dialog
in notepad++? it is tabbed with four tabs and is similar to your option 2...
No, I didn't because I don't use Windows. Therefore I'm unfamiliar with
Windows-only applications.
i'll try to attach the four views, one of each tab in the dialogue... this is
for informational purposes only and to maybe help develop further ideas...
one thing i found interesting is that while one tab might appear to have a lot
of white space, that space is used when other tabs are selected as you can see
in each image... my cropping may not be accurate but the dialog's size doesn't
change at all when each tab is selected...
[aside][ramble] i use notepad++ a lot... especially for editing multiple
files... largest project so far was editing 1000 data files with searches and
replaces across all of them at once... they were for a satellite tracking
program's ability to use different "common names" for the objects... when you
have hundreds of objects that result from explosions or collisions and you
want to use a different name, it comes in handy to work across multiple files
as well... [/ramble] [/aside]
Well, if you had had a nicer Find/Replace dialogue, you could have developed a
Lazarus application (possibly multi-threaded) to perform your simultaneous
search/replace across thousands of files ;-)
hahahaha!! nice topic save ;) but seriously, what i needed at the time was an
editor to handle many many text files at once and allow me to see and approve
each change... i definitely didn't need to be trying to develop my own editor ;)
in any case, here's the attachments... hopefully ;)
