Cool (Y) ;).

Maybe you could add Button properties or something like that to chose the type of button *-).

Edit : A Preview button too will be nice.

Dempsey has yet to release a version that works properly imo. He's started off good, but some things are not even working (like renaming buttons and checking the xml and renaming the window and etc). This looks nice. Maybe you and Dempsey could work together? (The information about Dempsey's is only based on the beta he has released on the forum)
I'm trying it out and I like it. But it should seriously all be incased in a window (like Dempsey's) and you should add the duplicate option on right click of something.

More suggestions:
  • On right click of a text box, add an option to "set as password field"
  • Add an option like dempsey's (even though it does not work well) to rename the window, the actual objects etc (the text the script uses to refer to things)
  • Buttons: add a "set as close button" option (this is already possible with the system, check the Docs)
  • Allow right clicking on the blue square on selected objects
  • Add a "Save xml file" and "save xml file as" and etc in the file menu (allowing loading of xml files in the program if they are Plus! made)
  • Add Premade Template windows (about box, settings window with apply, ok, and cancel buttons..etc)
  • Make site url in about window a link
  • Getting out of design mode should either a) Do something OR b) (prefered choice) be removed all together and add a preview option/button somewhere
That's it for now:P

thnx for your suggestions! I'm already busy with a new version and I will look at your suggestions:)
RE: [Pre-Release/Preview] Plus! Window Designer by CookieRevised on 07-16-2006 at 11:52 AM

All I can suggest for both programs (this and Dempsey's one) is to look how the designing is done in Visual Studio, Visual Basic, Visual C, etc.

Almost everything you can do there (and that's a lot) is almost mandatory in such Window Designers.

Also the interface should be roughly the same as that is what many people are already used to.

;)

I'm glad I could help. If you need a tester I would gladly test as well:P (It would make it even easier for me to give you suggestions that way, seeing as I'd notice what's been done already). If you want, you can just pm me.
