You could replace the 0/1 values with "no"/"yes" or

correspond the resulting code exactly, it makes more sense in
a visual environment IMO.
This is a maybe.
I'm not sure how far from Perl code I like the tool to go. Like I say in
the User manual, you'll end up coding Win32::GUI Perl anyway, so perhaps
it's best with a natural and transparent mapping between The GUI Loft and
Win32::GUI code.
But it's definetely something I'll think more about.
Also I keep forgetting to press return after changing a string
value, hence losing my edits when I select a different property
This is also a maybe, although for more technical UI reasons :/
But it's on the list :)
Tooltips would be nice, especially in the toolbox window.
Very much so, the ToolTip control is a _great_ (and I mean __great__) UI
feature, but I don't think it is 100% implemented in Win32::GUI. Aldo, is
that correct?
A working piece of code would help a lot if anyone has done it. And as soon
as I can get it to work, support in The GUI Loft is the next thing.
I just had an incident where the icons in the toolbox disappeared
when I clicked on them. I cannot reproduce it, but it happened
while clicking the buttons when I had my window in "test mode".
I _think_ this is a Win32::GUI thing, but I'm not sure. Anyone else who has
used bitmap Buttons with any experience (good or bad) of this?
A point for resizing the control in only one direction at a time
would come in handy, and one point that would scale the control
in all directions would, too. (i.e. center of the control's edges
and in the middle of the control)
Check. But I'm not too fond of cluttering up the Design window with more dots.
Idea: Ctrl-drag a dot to "center" the fixed point.
Idea: Shift-drag a dot to force either horizontal or verical movement,
whichever is done first.
Oh yeah, "send to front"/"back"/"push one layer back"/"select
control" type of right click menu in the forms editor window
would be nice, instead of having to move the mouse over to the
main window and click the control I want to edit there.
That particular feature isn't implemented yet actually, the menu items are
just placeholders/teasers :)
But a right-click menu with the edit commands, as well as individual
select/deselect for controls below the mouse pointer is on the way.
In the source distro, in the Notes directory, there are a few files with
future plans/ideas and stuff if you are interested.
That's all I could think of for now!
Thanks! All comments are greatly appreciated!
