This is an Update to the vs GUI Project for 2022-08-02.
Changes:
Now Mouse has to click into a Control to make it active. This reverses the change I made in last update, just mouse-over was changing the Active Control, BIG MISTAKE!
Now a vertical bar black white and gray to stand out from the FC and BC colors of the Textbox. Now you are less likely to think the letter you type will replace the letter highlighted because they aren't highlighted anymore. The vertical bar makes sense, it's what this forum's editor uses!
Now the letters are printed out equally spaced in List boxes making number aligned columns perfect. We pay for that by needing much wider List boxes.
The Controls Editor has been completely re-laid out using the Controls Editor and the Practice Load file got a copy of the controls used in Controls Editor, kind of neat.
Now you can align labels Left or Right if you don't like default of Centered.
Oh, there is also a new get_filename.exe a variation of GUI Makeover #5 Get Filename (now with way wider List Boxes!) I am using an Independent Filename retriever to avoid loading my GUI code up with File Dialog controls. Works good, I am using it with Accts Tracker to access several different Account Transaction Journals (4 at moment). This app still needs more edit controls, meanwhile to fix errors I am using a regular Text Editor. The app recalc's the balances on each transaction recorded when it loads a file. get_filename.exe creates a small file named of all things filename.txt and is stored in same directory as get_filename.exe. It just contains the user chosen pathed filename or nothing if user bugs out of get_filename cancelling the get.
Here is a copy of the zip's contents, the old apps have been rechecked and fixed up with the new BI/BM but most didn't need any code changes.
Up to 10 bas source files:
Adding Machine and Account Tracker are new and the GUI Blank is just a template file to get a GUI started.
BTW I did not include the Interface with the Tabulator but it works much better now that you can Tab or Shift Tab out of a control the mouse is hovering over.
The other GUI project Xmas Memory Game was not effected by the new BI/BM that I can recall nor TTT for that matter.
PS be sure to compile get_filename.bas before trying Account Tracker, that exe has to be in same folder as the GUI Account Tracker to get filenames of accounts journals started (the accounts can be anywhere but might make sense to be in same folder as Account Tracker and get_filename,exe).
