Kodigo / News: Recent posts

OK, I know this is a sudden release, but i feel that it should be included before I start working on docs, etc. This release includes changes for u_sheets, I've added a property called #TabHeight that sets the height of the tab area in PBU(minimum is 84).

And of course i couldn't help but have some fun with the new feature by changing some stuff on the samples application. The old window is still avaialble.

Nothing much for this release. Just wanted to have a little fun with the collapsing panel so i used it for the main window (w_example_main2). The old main window is still available (w_example_main).

Head on over to http://kodigo.sourceforge.net for more details!

This release features a competely functioning collapsing panel. Check it out!

Some improvements in Theme change notification, including menu background. This release also includes BETA stuff in kbeta.pbl. I just want to give previews for upcoming stuff. For now, there is only the collapsable panels, stil incomplete... Let me know what you guys think!

It seems the posted zip file got corrupted somewhere in the update. I've reposted and seems to be ok now.

This release contains improvements to the Theme service and themeable controls. Controls can now subscribe to the theme service for notifications of theme change. There is still some cleaning up on the code of some of the controls but it works for now. I plan on providing extensibility to the theme service by allowing XML theme files to be imported/exported. Stay Tuned!

I've refactored u_sheets, code is still a little dirty but is lighter. Also features "nicer" looking tabs, gradient theme support and hot tracking.

With all the themeing going on, i'm thinking of adapting a similar design from the .NET world using "Theme managers and renderers". Of course it should not affect the existing interfaces for custom controls (u_dwtoolbar, u_dwlv, etc.) but it would be easier to manage and new controls that want to support themeing. Oh well, we'll see...

This update features a refactored u_dwlv. Code is much more lighter and uses less dwobjects. I've also added a #FixedHeaderHeight property w/c is true by default. Turning it off means that the height will be the header height in your dataobject. u_dwlv now supports themeing as well (check the datawindow toolbar example). I'm still not happy with it, but i managed to patch some more leaks for this control. I am also planning on adding header icon support.... read more

Thanks to hlim for this one:

This fixes a bug that crashes the app on the Dropdown Userobjects sample. When clicking on the toolbar dropdown without closing a previous dropdown, the handle is orphaned and causes a crash when attempting to validate. I put in a of_Cancel() if the previous dropdown is still active.

More memory leaks discovered and fixed in u_dwtoolbar! I'll probably spend more time in hunting down these leaks for the next few days. If you find your app crashing after extended periods of use when using this library, let me know! =D

It turns out that there was a VERY bad memory leak all this time. The culprit was the PBNI Canvas object. Since several controls are based on this object, i found it difficult to track the leak. Fortunately this release fixes the problems along with some other memory leaks from other controls. Please update ASAP.

I'm back from a long, well deserved vacation!

This release features a new optional PBL named fcxexp.pbl. It contains classes to easily implement an explorer interface with a sort-of plugin architecture. The samples have also been reworked to make use of the explorer classes. There are also some new samples.

This will also be the basis of the real world sample i will be releasing, extending the explorer classes to include security, running multiple applications(explorers) in MDI, smart updates, etc. It would make a good template for creating a application.... read more

This release fixes the ff. items: (Special thanks for cioannou for finding these bugs! =)

a) No matter what I set the #Alternatecolor to , it displays the same "pink" color (u_dwlv).

Fixed. it turns out the color was never passed to the service.

b) u_dw_toolbar does not display all buttons no matter what I do, it displays dividers instead.

Fixed. If you create a new toolbar def from scratch, the inital values of the checkboxes (and other columns) are null and the service could not get a valid boolean value.... read more

Added sample for imagelists. This includes custom images and mixing of standard and custom images in a new imagelist that can be shared across objects.

Added fix for of_readinifile() for n_tr. Thanks to Vortex571 for finding this one =)

Check out some of the applications developed using Kodigo!

Added Icon support for u_sheets. You can see the changes in the sampler.

Minor Bug-fix for w_dropdown_dw_sort. Column header names are now correctly displayed on the sort list. Other minor fixes also included.

Includes Work in progress for collapsable panels ala VS.NET. Any feedback is welcome. Just jum into the forums.

Been really busy in the real world so i only made very minor updates. Also added size grip for Response windows with #AllowResize = TRUE. As soon as i have more time, i'll complete the real world app as promised. Don't forget to hit the forums for comments/suggestions/feedback. If you wish to participate in developing this framework, please let me know. Cheers! -Yeyi

Fixed annoying focu bug caused by hidden resource window. Fixes on u_sheets tab rendering. Moved all resources to separate sub-folder and used relative paths for a cleaner root directory. Experimental floating toolbar sample included in this release.

Added mixed-tooltip support for datawindows. Fixed DW Toolbar bug for dissappearing tooltips when theme changes. Minor fixes here and there.
