editing page steps in dialog editor
Last modified: 2007-06-18 10:41:22 UTC
Using page steps is a very nice feature at runtime. However its pretty hard to edit such dialog since all controls overlay each other at edit time. A proposal is show in the dialog editor a small toolbar that contains a checkbox for each used page step in the current dialog editor. By unchecking a certain page step you could make these fields invisible in the current editor (but still keep them in the editor). That allows you to simulate the different page steps and see what the dialog look like at runtime. It appears that this requires only small changes in the editor code, but improves the usability of the dialog editor a lot...
In principal this kind of functionality is already included in the dialog editor. If you select only the dialog (without controls) you can edit the step property of the dialog in the property browser. By default the dialog has a step value of 0, which means that all controls are shown. If you change the step value of the dialog to 1, then only controls with a step value of 0 or 1 are shown (For a control a step value of 0 means that the control is shown on all pages.). In that way you already see in design mode each dialog page seperately. Therefore I propose to close this task.
accepted as already working (if you know how)
This issue has been "RESOLVED" for quite a time, I assume I can close it ...
