Open Source GUI Library for Assembler

[AGS]

Thank you, this looks solveable. Did you also try this with the previous version? Is it a new error?

EDIT: Never mind, I fixed it!

(will be uploaded soon)

[AGS]

Here is a fixed version. It also has now scrollers in the window borders so that you can use it on a screen that is smaller than the oxlibinfo window contet. i hope it does not introduce new bugs.

EDIT: update available: http://images.quicktunnels.net/openxui_latest.zip

[daxb]

Startup hits are gone. New or old?: oxlibinfo freeze when I select a class and then scroll down with the arrow key after last visible class is reached. Also the list don`t move even though it should.

[AGS]

Thanks for this. And did you try this before and did it work? What Do you mean "not move"? With mouse control everything is well?

[daxb]

I`ve checked. It is new (last openxui.zip archive worked, openxui_scrollers.zip freeze). BTW. please add version numbers or a date what makes things easier.

Normal behaviour for a scrollable list is when you move the "cursor" down the list moves up. With "don`t move" I meant the list don`t moves up when I go with the cursor down to reach the lower classes.

[AGS]

Thanks for finding this bug, fortunately it freezes here also, so that I can check myself if I fixed it or not. btw, I added smooth and very fast scrolling. window is no longer drawn completely new but contents are moved. you will see.

[Mrs Beanbag]

that's a clever logo

[AGS]

I am happy that you like it, Mrs Beanbag.

Ok, here it is, the smooth scroll version. And the freeze on cursor list move is fixed.

If this works so far, I will try to implement turbo speed.

EDIT: update available: http://images.quicktunnels.net/openxui_latest.zip

[daxb]

Until now it is not fast enough for smooth scroll. Freeze is fixed. Waiting for turbo speed.

BTW. Why are icons used for checkmark, radio button, ... instead of images like for button, menus, slider, ...?

[AGS]

Do you see that it is slow in drawing or is there a reaction delay?

Icons are used because marks and knobs are a basic functionality that should work w/o the overhead of a datatype? I don't know. Actually I coded the icons feature before I learned how to use the datatypes. Maybe I will change th icons into little pictures and change the icons into library internal amiga os images so that for a fallback no external files are needed. now if you do not have these icon files in a correct path the checks and radios stay empty ... thats not nice.

I'm afraid I can't speedup redrawing the whole window but only drawing parts of the GUI, for example a not too big listview or some buttons. So smooth scrolling and turbo will only apply for smaller parts of the GUI. This is achieved by not searching all objects or for those who want to be refreshed, but maintain a chain of only the objects that want refresh. processing this chain is faster a lot because in normal situations there is only one object in that chain.

[daxb]

List scrolling seems to be in normal speed as far as I can say but pixel by pixel scrolling is of course slower then entry to entry scrolling. I hope you will add a switch to enable/disable "smooth scrolling". What is slow is the horizontal/vertical slider gadget. At least my mouse pointer is faster then slider gadget redrawing if I move it. For example compared to MUI slider.

Icons:
Yes, it is something between skinable GUI and native internal amiga os images. So images for the skins and internal default "images".

[AGS]

Know what? I just included the images now into the lib ... ... for custom (skinnable) radio and check images i would probably need a datatype that can handle transparent png images. No one known to me.

Which slider is slow? The one connected to the list, or also the standalone slider when you select "horizscroll" from the classes list? If both are slow, please try "oxtestclass horizscroll" in shell and then make the opening window bigger and drag the scrollers there. maybe there they will be faster because no other GUI elements there are listening for input.

[daxb]

Yes, both. With "oxtestclass horizscroll" speed is better/good. They are 2x2 slider and if I move one the second is flickering (redrawing), the first not.

[AGS]

Here is the Version "turbo A". More speed is hardly possible, at least I yet don't know any more tricks. I tried with the "approximately 7mhz" setting in the emulator and found that scrolling the list with the mousewheel above it is acceptable now. scrolling the list with slider is slower than that but faster as before.


EDIT: update available: http://images.quicktunnels.net/openxui_latest.zip

in the emulator everything runs soft as butter and reacts immediately on inputs.

[daxb]

Good work. Would be nice to have some other test/opinions from differnt 68k Amigas. Does it still crash on Thorham`s OS3.0 system?

[AGS]

Hmm, is it fast enough now on your System? Thorham, can you test it with Enforcer or such?

[daxb]

Overall speed is good but...

menu class:
Sometimes it works as expected and sometimes the dropdown menus just disappear after about 0,5 seconds. No difference if mouse ist moved or not.

filerequester class:
The listview is not really fast. You may can speedup a bit. Seems that mouse moves are slow down. When I click throw the device list and then exit I get an exception (don`t know how to reproduce):

You can set "elements color" in preferences but not the internal images for radio button, checkmark, ... . That may look ugly. Especially for people like me who have switched pen 0 and 1. Don`t know if it is a good idea to more element colors in prefs to set?

[AGS]

Hi there daxb,

thanks for playing around. That bug with the filerequester, does it only occur when you close the oxlibinfo window, or does it occur when you close the filerequester itself (before closing oxlibinfo!!)?

And what exactly is slow about the fileslist? Reading in the files or also when scrolling it a bit?

The internal radio/checkmark images yet are only used when no icons for that purpose exist in prefs:presets/ox/icons/default/ ... filenames must be "radio" and "check". these files may also reside (and are found) in progdir:presets/ox/icons/default

What element colors are you looking for?

When I close the oxlibinfo window or oxtestclass filereq window.

Both.

I know that no images/icons (presets) exists then the fallback internal images are used.

What element colors are you looking for?

To enter the colors of this example pic but I don`t know it it is really necessary:

Thanks daxb, this helps a lot.

@all

Here is one full demo sourcecode, the cross-window colorpicker app: http://images.quicktunnels.net/xuitest_colorpicker.asm , that makes use of the colorpicker class. The colorpicker class itself makes use of some other classes.

If someone is interested to play around with it, please ask me for the required includes and a matching version of the binaries.
