Two small (but annoying) problems with dialog editing

[Phil Pendlebury]

Steps to repro:

1. Make a dialog box with a set of radio buttons radio.
2. Name the radio buttons anything you want. (Here is an example):

Code: Select all

RadioGroup=msRadioGroup1,Set Locators To,224,88,121,145,Manually Set%CRLF%All Project%CRLF%Parts on Tracks%CRLF%Start to Last Part%CRLF%Separate Parts,deflocate

3. Notice that my radio group has a default value of "deflocate" because this value is read from an ini file.

4. Edit the dialog graphically. Move a box around or something.

5. Re-paste the code to your script.

Notice the "deflocate" has been replaced with a 0? Happens every time I edit my dialog. And as you know when designing dialogs it needs to be edited many, many times.

---------

1. Make a dialog and edit it (not graphically)

2. Insert a logo like:

Code: Select all

Image=%SCRIPT_DIR%\graphics\sxspecial.ico,16,16,33,33

3. Edit the dialog graphically. Move a box around or something.

5. Re-paste the code to your script.

Notice that the Image is now something completely different? In my case:

Code: Select all

Image=,0,0,105,105

Is it only me having this trouble?

I'm having the same problems.

Not meaning to be a pain but Marcus have you any comments on this?

[Phil Pendlebury]

Honestly I can live with this bit would just like to know at least if Marcus has seen it.

Have I done something wrong?

The dialog designer is unable to use variables at design time, because these don't have values until run time. Therefore at design time these values can only be seen as zero.
