Future Updates - VisualNeo for Windows

Page 1 of 2Next

Hi Luishp

I share another few thoughts for future updates of VisualNeo. Some of this may not be so important but it's only my suggestions. VisualNeo for Windows is far the best solution for creating windows apps for beginners and advance users. I simply love this software.

Also if you can find all the best and working "Functions" and build it in. I know other users may have tons of new ideas for future updates and it would be great to hear what they want.

Greetings

 

 

Update: And Radio Buttons

Update: Maybe a box to insert any degree to snap to

 

 

I update the zoom function. This would be a very nice option to have

Option to select a background image for ListBox

Hi @impactband4u,

Thank you for taking the time to prepare all these suggestions.
We will see what we can do.

Best regards.

Lots of good suggestions.

One thing I keep coming up against is the polygon object.  It's about all we have for drag and drop.  Would like to be able to set the size of this object by code.  Like with other objects.

Also, ability to rotate objects by degrees and/or dynamic.

 

 

Nice work impactband4u :-)

Some more suggestions:

1. Re-write FileRead/FileWrite functions - sometime I need reading file line by line, and, if file is bigger...nightmare.

There's 3rd party solutions, but I want to make from within Neobook/VisualNEO

2. Tree and TAB object as part of VisualNEO, and possibilities to make tree form via scripting language

There's some plugins which make this, like wonderful HPW's plugin, but, IMHO, tree object is, de facto a standard in all serious RAD, so, why not to try to implement it?

3. Possibilities to make a console application - no GUI

 

Regards!

my "wishlist elements" by now:

1,

list of objects names and types by page (like Project/Variables…)

2,

when I copy a page the object names should be copied too, with e.g. a number (buttonYES -> buttonYES1, or buttonYES1 -> buttonYES2).  (and maybe with a question whether the object names in the scripts on the copied page should be changed according to this, or remain the same.)

Two small but useful feature:

  • scrollable container object
  • listbox with autocomplete function

@dglojnar:

1. Re-write FileRead/FileWrite functions - sometime I need reading file line by line, and, if file is bigger...nightmare.

I am not sure I understand ... but if you want to loop through the file (line by line) faster than today, then you might look into ...

FileRead "[myHugeFile]" "ALL" "[myHugeVariable]"
StrParse "[myHugeVariable]" "[#13][#10]" "[myLinesArray]" "[myLinesCount]"

Loop "1" "[myLinesCount]" "[thisLine]"
   SetVar "[myCurrentLine]" "[myLinesArray[thisLine]]"
   ... your processing of current line goes here
EndLoop

... just one file i/o ... rest of activities from variables in memory.

Like you say, sometimes is possible to teach old dog new tricks :-)

It's actually works, really good and fast:-)

Thank you from my heart, really appreciate your effort:-)

 

Cheers!

listbox with autocomplete function

I've created a sample autocomplete project for you. Download & run it.

No plugins, no mess. I have converted the Text object into an autocomplete TextEntry object that suggests input value from ListBox as the user types. Hit Enter key to accept suggestion.

@jncon Just in case you are interested in hacky stuff

scrollable container object

You can create a fake scrollbar & move the long container object up & down using MoveObject command.

All the good time!
I really liked all the suggestions above!

Add to them my wishes:
1. Refine the LinkedArticle object.
First, this object is conceived to support books, but so far it is not coping with its role. If the LinkedArticle display a book, the project is loaded (opened) unacceptably long. And if you break a large file into several small ones, the general search by text and bookmarks will not work.
Secondly, it would be great (although it is not important for many) that LinkedArticle support the autotransference of words, for example, as IE browser does. Now, if a word does not fit into a line, then it is transferred entirely to the next line, but should be broken down according to the rules of the chosen language and transferred in chunks. This is needed to make the text look beautiful - without a “ragged right edge” (when aligning to the left) and without “holes” between words (when aligning to the width).


2. Make the function "check syntax of commands (before compilation)" in the code editor. When activating this function, VisualNEO could emphasize mistakes in writing code (for example, a student forgot to close a quote, and VisualNEO highlighted it). It would be convenient to turn this feature on / off with a separate button “pre-check” on the toolbar in the code editor. For those who are just starting to learn, this would be a good help, since it is at the initial stage of training that all sorts of aids are needed that would work automatically.


3. Add the function "autosave project".

Forgive my English (thanks to google translator).

Spoiler
Всем доброго времени!
Мне очень понравились все предложения сказанные выше! Добавлю к ним свои пожелания:
1. Доработать объект LinkedArticle.
Во-первых, этот объект задуман для поддержки книг, но пока не справляется со своей ролью. Если в LinkedArticle отображать книгу, то проект загружается (открывается) недопустимо долго. А если разбивать большой файл на несколько небольших, то не будет работать общий поиск по тексту и закладки.
Во-вторых, было бы замечательно (хотя это для многих не важно), чтобы LinkedArticle поддерживал автоперенос слов, например так, как это делает браузер IE. Сейчас, если слово не вмещается в строку, то оно переносится целиком на следующую строку, а должно разбиваться по правилам выбранного языка и переноситься кусками. Это нужно для того, чтобы текст выглядел красиво - без "рваного правого края" (при выравнивании по левому краю) и без "дырок" между словами (при выравнивании по ширине).

2. Сделать в редакторе кода функцию "проверить синтаксис команд (до компиляции)". При активации этой функции VisualNEO могла бы подчеркнуть ошибки в написании кода (например, студент забыл кавычку закрыть, а VisualNEO подсветила её). Эту функцию было бы удобно включать\выключать отдельной кнопкой "предварительная проверка" на панели инструментов в редакторе кода. Для тех, кто только начинает учиться это было бы хорошее подспорье, поскольку именно на начальном этапе обучения нужны всякие вспомогательные средства, которые срабатывали бы автоматически.

3. Добавить функцию "автосохранение проекта".

Простите мне мой английский (спасибо гугл-переводчику).

Hi, neodude,

many thanks for the suggestions. I created a bit similar method with three hidden buttons and a listbox filled up from a database with selected criterias. Using a timer for this seems an interesting solution.

I've spent a lot of time to create Win 10 ui designs for my applications. The basic font type is the Segoe UI.

I like your circular progress bar idea.

since there will never be updates of the neobook, I suggest to get help from some willing, or to make the source free.

Unfortunately it's not possible to open source it, as it uses lots of third party closed source libraries.
I have not give up completely but it's really difficult to further develop VisualNEO Win. Anyway if someone wants to help I'm open to reach agreements.

I don't have a problem with VisualNeo because plugin developers keep the program up and running. The problem is that an "Order Plugins" page has been created to ask for help if we are looking for a certain plugin, but no one gives feedback or can really help with the plugins. Ever since VisualNeo took over, I have been browsing the forum every day for up to 10 times a day to check for updates and new plugins, then once every day, then once a week, now I only watch once a month because I know not much is going on. Take a look at the "Order Plugins" page and just let the people know if anyone can help make the plugins that are requested or not. I asked for a plugin 6 months back and no one answered me whether the plugin can be made or not. I wouldn't ask for something if I didn't really need it. Something needs to be done to make it fun to visit the site again every day. What about where people share their free apps they created, more tutorials, what about a whatsapp or facebook group where you can get help quickly if you need it (with script etc) there you can also send pictures or videos if needed etc etc . I can make a screen recording of eg "How to send email" and share it on whatsapp or Facebook group. That's just my suggestion and I hope and pray that VisualNeo Win will not die again because it will be very sad.

regards

hi, @impactband4u

If you need a special plugin I will write for you.

@farhad2008

Thank You, and for starters you can look at https://visualneo.com/forum/topic/recording-plugin-2/ and https://visualneo.com/forum/topic/settempo-plugin/

I also need a modern date picker but it must save the date to a variable i choose because i need more then one date pickers on one page and also in the format i choose. Example: I want to save it like 01 Jan 2020 or 01/01/2020 or 01 January 2020 etc etc

 

I must also be able to chance the color and background of the calendar.

Let me know if it can be done please

Greetings
