Hi,
I'm developing a new command button that I hope will behave like Office XP buttons. Right know its at an alpha stage, and has very little functionality, but I'd like you to test what is already done, so I can detect errors early and then continue development.
The final product will be freeware.
Please post here if you're interested.
BTW, I also need someone to write the help file for the final version... I don't have much to offer (well, nothing really) do :D
Thanks in advance.
You can join the discussion list here:
http://www.topica.com/lists/gxdbutton_beta
Do you have any screen shot of what it will look ?
sure:
we will be able to add the icon we want ? and the text we want and the color we want ? IF all is yes than it's very cool project.
Of course! it's completely customizable. You can change all 15 colors (that's right, 15). The button has 5 states:
Normal
Hover
Active (or "mousedown")
Selected (not yet implemented :D)
Disabled
And you can customize each color for the text, background, and border.
You can also select any bitmap, icon, cursor, jpg, or gif. And you can position the caption in 9 places. And the picture left, right, above, below, front, or behind the caption.
And I plan to implement many other cool features.
The project is very nice I want to text it!!!
http://www.topica.com/lists/gxdbutton_beta did not work ?
I'd like to test it :)
how do I get it ?
I'v done some html help files, could help u out... If it doesn't take up too much time that is... :)
I recon the helpfile would not need to get to big?
I have the same problem as you PEET:
The requested URL /lists/gxdbutton_beta was not found on this server.
Topica server is down :( check back in a couple of hours to join the list.
The first beta will be available for download next monday :D
Peet, the length of the help file depends on what I will finally include in the first version. If you want to help, you may start writing the standard format for the CHM file, and I'll let you know which features will likely remain the same so you can start documenting those. If you ever want to quit, I'd understad, and of course I'll give you credit (along with every beta tester that wants so).
This will be a nice Monday :D
Monday is never nice:(Quote:
