Re: Beta version 2.2

Could you please explain a little bit more about the improvements. I see no difference in using this version compared to 2.1. smile

Re: Beta version 2.2

In version 2.1, when you select any control, you may notice small delay before you see properties in object inspector, in the version 2.2 this disadvantage is eliminated.

Thank you for the bug report, please download again beta version for testing.

Dmitry.

Re: Beta version 2.2

Hello Dmitry,


I re-downloaded the beta and tested the same project with it.


I did not notice anything funny, so I guess we can say the bug is corrected smile


Have a good day


Cheers

Re: Beta version 2.2

Hello Dmitry

After last Mathmatou's post, I've downloaded  MVD 2.2 beta.
Great advances with all Additionnals for each component.
This opens new perspectives.

One thing :

I used 2.2 to test thoses news properties.
When I launch the executable (green arrow), AVAST open a dialog and tells me it had found a virus (specifically a threat) : FileRepSnxClass

Did you heard about it ?

Thanks

JB

I have Avast and sometimes also get this message about virus.
It's false positive, unfortunately I can't  fix it. Usually after a while the problem disappears.

Dmitry.

Re: Beta version 2.2

My God Dmitry,


I had a look at the additional section and all the appearance/constraints and options you added....


I don't understand them all but... Wow !! Great Job !! The Tablegrid enhancements alone are just.... Wow


Cheers

Re: Beta version 2.2

About the virus alert, I do not feel comfortable as in my company, rules are very strict and virus alerts are reported to the top and actions have to be undertaken. We use MCAfee and I did not try beta 2.2 yet though.

Re: Beta version 2.2

tcoton
MCAfee also detect some virus?

Dmitry.

Re: Beta version 2.2

I have not tried yet but honestly if there is a risk, I do not want to trigger an alert of such kind. I will try to see if I can get an isolated virtual machine to test it.

Re: Beta version 2.2

Подскажите у версии 2.2 пробный период такой же как и у версии 2.1 60 дней?

нет, был изменен на 7 дней.

Dmitry.

Re: Beta version 2.2

I have downloaded Official 2.2 and tried it in a virtual machine on which MCAfee is installed and no issue so far. I love the new object properties, less code ahead which means easier to use for most people smile

However, I thought that trial was 60 days but I do have only 7 days left on first run!! This is not an issue for me since I have a license but might be reluctant for future users.

Great job anyway on this version. How do you remove the focus automatically set on the first created textbox? I just created a new project and put a textbox and the focus is on it whatever I do and it is quite annoying.

If you have on form only textbox you can't to hide this focus.

Dmitry.

Re: Beta version 2.2

I actually created a simple form to see the new properties starting with a textbox, then a button and a combobox. The focus is always on the textbox when running the project.

Another question: what are the text and hint properties on textboxes? I understand the hint text though.

Re: Beta version 2.2

tcoton
You can change order of focus using property TabOrder, set this property for button or combobox TabOrder=0


Text - for set text to TextBox
Hint - Tooltip text. Set ShowHint=True to activate it.

Dmitry.

Re: Beta version 2.2

I have an issue when compiling a project with 2.2 I created first using 2.1.

When my project launches, it shows a pagecontrol with 3 tabs and by default the first tab should be displayed as it was in 2.1. Now I had to set the tab order property to a different setting to display the tab I want by default.

It is just weird that from a version to another we could not keep consistency in the design of our project.

Re: Beta version 2.2

Actually it is even worse, the tab order property is unique whichever order you set on the tabs.
And each time I launch my project it can be a different tab showing up...

Difficult to understand this behavior.

Re: Beta version 2.2

New strange behavior using 2.2 script. When reaching line 220, color coding is changing to blue only which is very confusing...

Re: Beta version 2.2

tcoton
Thank you for the bug report, fixed, please download beta version 2.3
Also thank for bug "color coding" I'll check it.

Dmitry.

Re: Beta version 2.2

Actually, the color coding  issue was temporary in some way as it does not happen anymore. It has suddenly stopped changing to blue from line 220. Yesterday I reopened several times my project to make sure it was not a trick of my eyes, then I restart working on my scripts and it stopped.
