[DCL] dcl preview request

[ziele_o2k]

Hi, could someone insert screenshot with preview of following dcl

Sett : dialog
{ label = "Quick Settings:";
 width = 50;
 : row {
   : column {
     : text { label = "Rozbic blok:"; }
     : text { label = "Troche dluzszy tekst:"; }
   }
   : column {
     _RADIO1;
     _RADIO2;
   }
 }
 : _POPUP { key = "B_1"; label = "&Czy wstawic punkt w srodku:"; }
 : _POPUP { key = "B_4"; label = "&Separator:"; }
 : _EDITBOX { key = "B_2"; label = "&Wysokosc tekstu:"; edit_limit = 10; }
 : _EDITBOX { key = "B_3"; label = "Odstep &tekstu:"; edit_limit = 10; }
 spacer_1;
 : row {
   alignment = centered;
   fixed_width = true;
   : _BUTTON { key = "OK"; label = "&Ok"; is_default = true; }
   : _BUTTON { key = "CANCEL"; label = "&Anuluj"; is_cancel = true; }
 }
 errtile;
}
_BUTTON : button { width = 13; fixed_width = true; }
_POPUP : popup_list { edit_width = 30; }
_EDITBOX : edit_box { edit_width = 30.8; }
_RADIO1 : row {
 : radio_button {
   key = "op1";
   label = "&Tak"; 
 }
 : radio_button {
   key = "op2";
   label = "&Nie"; 
 }
 spacer;
}
_RADIO2 : row {
 : radio_button {
   key = "op3";
   label = "&Wiecej Tak"; 
 }
 : radio_button {
   key = "op4";
   label = "&Wiecej Nie"; 
 }
 spacer;
}

Do you just want to test it this will display

 

(setq dcl_id (load_dialog "Sett.dcl")) ; needs correct path
(if (not (new_dialog "Sett" dcl_id))
(exit))
(start_dialog)
(done_dialog)
(unload_dialog dcl_id)

Your dialog displayed fine for me in the VLIDE.

I just whanted to see how this window will look on other computers. I know how to test dcl dialog.

I have another problem... DCL which I posted displays different on various machines.

On one of my computers it look like this:

and on another same as Kerry Brown.

 

Anyone has any idea where the problem is?

Hi,

This is how it looks like on my machine.

It's just a matter of how your tiles are defined in 'base.dcl' in the support folder and probably some windows settings (colors / resolution / font) can affect certain aspects too. But I actually like the coding style , never used 'subs' in my dcl files.

That is vary bad information... I have to live with that...

You can work with OpenDCL instead as a bounce to your DCL experience.

I think there are worse things in life you have to live with ... if your design is right your dialog will have the right look and feel no matter if some details might seem to be a little off. That having said , it can really irritate me too when my dialog doesn't look the way I want it because I want everything to be as symmetrical as possible and can spent lots of time just to get it right.

I'll drop this here as a reference for options

The way the DCL is designed makes it relatively easy to revise safely. Good Job I think.

The problem is elsewhere.

Sometimes between popup_list and it's label is being added some space and sometimes isn't.

Below you can find dcl definition and screen of dcl preview from two machines.

Sett : dialog
{ label = "Quick Settings:";
 : _POPUP { key = "B_1"; label = "&Czy wstawic punkt w srodku:"; list = "Tak\nNie"; }
 spacer_1;
 : row {
   alignment = centered;
   fixed_width = true;
   : _BUTTON { key = "OK"; label = "&Ok"; is_default = true; }
   : _BUTTON { key = "CANCEL"; label = "&Anuluj"; is_cancel = true; }
 }
 errtile;
}
_BUTTON : button { width = 13; fixed_width = true; }
_POPUP : popup_list { edit_width = 30; }

You could try to give the button no label , just a key , use a text tile and give it a fixed width?

Yes, this is a workaround that I came up with. As interestning thing, we have to play with the value of the tile text. If we will set label for text tile, result will be the same as with label of popup_list.

The disadvantage of this solution is loosing the possibility to set mnemionic for popup_list label.

 

I wonder if anyone can explain to me why this is happening.
