Automatically handle menu clicks without a select

SpriteCandy is excellent (in Blitz-terms) but doesn't really solve the problem.

Automatically handle menu clicks without a select
30th October 2008

Blitz is a very limited language and wasn't really designed for this kind of thing. The only semi-solution I can come up with is to write a little scripting system and make all the menus read their actions from text files, but that's a lot more work than j*snip*

Windows 7 Preview

Seems like the program I posted in the links section yesterday will be redundant in Windows 7 :) I like that the task bar was trimmed down.

It still needs the Java Runtime, so I might as well use .NET/Mono. And I won't. Probably best to stick to Windows, unless there's some super-duper library I missed.
Ooh, wait. There's BlitzMax and MaxGui :P Nah, not really. I don't even have BlitzMax.

I didn't notice that wxWidgets required an extra framework to be installed. But so does Java, and .NET. And Java (as far as I know) doesn't have native UI controls either.
Perhaps the whole portability idea isn't that nice...

After some further research, wxWidgets looks like a very good solution. It provides cross-platform support for windowing and many other useful things (regex, xml, for instance).

The major gripe I have with Ecere is that it doesn't feel native. That might seem trivial but it is quite important to me, especially in applications.
On the other hand, I could probably use something like wxWidgets which is portable across several platfo*snip*

With all these special features people want, scripting might be a good idea, no? Shouldn't be hard to add Lua support to the program. Then - since we're all programmers - we can add tiny functions whenever we want to.

Layer window, color picker, palette, tool window, preview window (if you're zoomed in) -- that is "a lot" to me at least. I will have those little pins in the corner of every window (and probably the menu bar too) so that you can quickly show/hide them.
