Thanks
 
 
Same in V13.1
 
This is just one example of a property that actually is needed and it's not in the list. So "your being told person" isn't paying attention with what he/she is doing. It's a great tool but it could be a better one...
 
Thanks

Hi,
 
Thanks for the update. I will wait for V12.1 release to find out if "your being told person" is right about the properties
 
Thanks

Just an update.

I have been told that in 12.0.0 all properties listed actually do something.  The reason some seem not to work its because some properties depend on others.  If one property for example is set to state A, then property 2 will not work.   But Property 2 can't just be remove, because the user can switch Property 1 to state B and then Property 2 will work.

So no the challenge is to find a good way to let the user know the situation.  We will have something worked out for 12.1.

Note 12.0.1 will be coming out, but this will not be included.  Will have to wait for 12.1.

I just meant that it is the first release and it will be improved with each release.  I'll see what can be done.  But the end goal would be to only list properties that do something, so there would be no trial and error.]]> Thu, 15 May 2008 08:16:31 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10623&PID=35232&title=skinbuilder-plug-pray-properties#35232 <![CDATA[SkinBuilder Plug & Pray properties : SuperMario wrote:The original...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10623&PID=35210&title=skinbuilder-plug-pray-properties#35210 Author: Aaron

Hi,

Yes and ??? Reduce the amount of properties again I would say. What holds you back to give us a list to choose from, with only those properties which actually do something? Prefer you would do this in SkinBuilder but could be a document where I can find a certain item.

Document:
The red marked properties aren't needed with the item
 
  • Toolbar
    • Button
      • BgFill - This will blah blah blah
      • ContentMargins - This will blah blah blah
    • Drop Down Button
      • .......

 

At least give us something to fall back on.
 
Thank you

Hi,
 
I have chosen the name of the subject for a reason:
  • Adding properties to some items (for example System Metrics) seem to do nothing at all in the preview window. But if you would build the Style anyway you can see that the property actually does work.
  • Adding properties to items which actually do nothing, ever...
  • So it's difficult to determine which property you can add and which property you can add and does function.

Options to optimize this feature:

  1. I would like (I think we all do ?!?!) some kind of manual in which the properties are defined (prefer with some help),  the function of the property, is the property related to the item , ....)
  2. Build this feature in SkinBuilder and have only those properties which actually do function and update the Preview window for all possible items.

The only one who knows, what the property does for some item, is the development team itself. I don't want to invent the wheel again by trying, building and hoping it will function... Way to much properties to choose from

Thanks in advance
