#66 Make the sourceforge "Code" tab point to the GitHub repo

OK I am going to make 1 final commit that erases all code and leaves a single text file with the URL to GitHub.

Make the sourceforge "Code" tab point to the GitHub repo

Robert Pollak — Fri, 23 Sep 2016 06:07:43 -0000

When clicking "Code", one should get a hint that the newest code is at https://github.com/wxFormBuilder/wxFormBuilder - maybe by adding one last subversion commit that removes everything here.

Add minsize, proportion to gbsizeritem

Christoph Theis — Sun, 24 Jul 2016 08:18:27 -0000

According to http://docs.wxwidgets.org/trunk/overview_xrcformat.html#overview_xrcformat_sizers minsize is a property of all sizeritems.

growablerows and -cols should support proportion (e.g. 1:1), this means those entries are no longer pair of integers.

sizeritems may have the "option" value set to "proportion", though documentation is not clear here. The code does use this value for all wxSizerItem

Watch project files for changes

7heW4yne — Wed, 06 Apr 2016 07:18:11 -0000

wxFormBuilder should watch the project file for changes, while its open. If the project file has changed it should reload the whole project automatically.

Example:
Let's say you have 2 developers working on the same c++ project. The project includes a wxFormBuilder project file with all frames, panels and dialogs of the application and is stored in a SVN repository.

Developer 1 commits a changed version of the fbp-file to the SVN repository, while Developer 2 is adding a new dialog to his working copy of the fbp-file.
Developer 2 tries to commit his changes and gets an error, because he has to update his working copy before commit changes.
Developer 2 updates his working copy, while the fbp-file is still open in wxFormBuilder (the fbp-file is merged correctly, but wxFormBuilder still works with the old version)
Developer 2 rebuilds the project in order to see if the changes of Developer 1 causes any problems
Developer 2 makes some changes in wxFormBuilder (i.e. fix some border widths or something like that) and saves the changed file.
Developer 2 commits his changes.

PROBLEM: Developer 2 removes the changes of Developer 1 in step 5 and commits it to the SVN repository, which breaks the changes of Developer 1 (maybe removes a very complex dialog from the project file).

If wxFormBuilder watches the project file and reloads it in step 3, this can be avoided.

Would be nice if you can add this feature to one of the next wxFormBuilder versions.

Add screen-reader support for wxBitmapButton

Zenju — Wed, 12 Aug 2015 12:01:36 -0000

wxFormbuilder already allows to enter a "label" for wxBitmapButtons. Unfortunately this value is never used when generating code. For screen reader support however it is required that each button has a label.

The solution is trivial:
Just add a "SetLabel" call for code generation directly after the wxBitmapButton creation:
"newbitmapbutton->SetLabel(label);"

Add support for the wxTimePickerCtrl to wxFormBuilder

Anthony Richard Bloomer — Thu, 14 May 2015 22:05:20 -0000

Apologies if this is the wrong way to do this.
I am using 3.5 and couldn't find the wxTimePickerCtrl ( I hope I am not just being blind )
So I decided to add it. Here is the patch I did. I haven't included the icon for tool bar.
Great Tool by the way. Thanks.

#45 Add FloatSpin

Blair Bonnett — Sat, 11 Apr 2015 10:00:04 -0000

As far as I can tell, wx.lib.agw.floatspin.FloatSpin is a wxPython widget.

In wxWidgets 2.9.0 a wxSpinCtrlDouble widget was added which is like wxSpinCtrl but for floating point numbers (in C++, the value is of type double).

The attached patch adds support to the 'additional' widgets plugin for wxSpinCtrlDouble. It was generated against a clean version of r2203.
