Simon Burford, Uluru Support | Tool Bar on Fri, 23 Jan 2004 13:52:53 +0000 IMHO, the Toolbar in the editor is waaay too big. Why three whole rows of the screen and the second row is mainly taken up with a big yucky looking long raised block?!? I don't even use the toolbar so tried to make it smaller by removing it's buttons. As I removed each button the others just bunched up into a 3x3 square at the left hand side of the toolbar and when all buttons were removed I end up with a three rows deep toolbar with nothing on it except the horrible raised block!!! I want the toolbar to either completely go away or only be one row deep. Otherwise the editor is three rows smaller than it should be Simon Burford Uluru Database Support http://www.UluruDatabase.com Download the latest version of Uluru Professional, Pro Database Manager for xBase++ from http://www.UluruDatabase.com | |

I agree with you, it is waste of space for editor, i never use tool bars in apps, i prefere menu commands or keyboard shortcuts so in every programs i hide toolbars, but in VX i don't use it and i can't hide it.

Garry Allen | Re: Tool Bar on Fri, 23 Jan 2004 10:36:15 -0500 I'm really happy with what has been accomplished so far but add my vote to being able to collapse the Toolbars. Probably one reason I'm happy is the similarity to Delphi (which I've used for a number of years) but one Delphi feature missing is the ability to make the editor full screen.

Christian Laborde | Re: Tool Bar on Fri, 23 Jan 2004 16:56:02 +0100 I agree. The editor workspace is too small. Now I prefer working with ultra edit. And many feature are missing to work on big file.

Simon Burford, Uluru Support | Re: Tool Bar on Fri, 23 Jan 2004 16:03:43 +0000 I suppose it's because most of us programmers on these newsgroups come from the days of DOS programming and are used to an editor which essentially fills the screen without loads of superfluous windows, toolbars and even the windows taskbar. In an ideal world, I'd like to have a full screen editor which would make me wonder if I'd exited to DOS and run a DOS editor. Any extra windows should be my choice to display via the View menu. There are too many windows in VX which cannot be removed and take up screen space.

If all additional toolbars could be docked off to be free-floating, we could use a two-monitor system and have the editor windows on screen one and the rest on screen two... or to say it in short words, "I agree" Thomas Braun | |
