Hi All, Here's another progress update
SlidersWell I've finally managed to duplicate slider rendering to
closely approximate the final look in MACH.
Slider properties DO NOT however work the same as in
Screen4. In Screen4, you have to modify the Format String
to create a Slider from a D.R.O.
What I have done is to make Sliders a completely separate
item. When reading screens created in Screen3 and Screen4,
the editor will automatically detect DROs that are sliders and convert
them.
A new edit dialog for Sliders allows you to set the various
slider properties without having to do it in the Format String.
In this case, the Format String is edited exactly as for a standard
DRO. ie %0.3f
When saving out the screen, the editor will automatically insert
the correct Slider parameters into the format string for you.
Skinned DROsThese are now supported also.
Screen Background ImagesMany of you who are designing screens are using very large
screen background images and locking them down when
using Screen4.
My editor now allows you to convert a large screen image into
"the screen background". This means, the image you are
using is destroyed, and the picture becomes a property of
the screen itself - so can't be selected and accidently moved or
sized - so it behaves like a locked down image in Screen4.
The screen background image suppoorts the usual image
modes (stretch, crop, aspect fit etc.). When performing the
conversion, you may end up having to re-align all your controls
if the original screen background image was offset from the
actual top left corner of the screen.
Best Regards
Stan.
