In the designer, after deletíng all controls and icons etc. that use a resource symbol, the symbol is still in the CommandBars menu / Resource symbols list, in the .bas import file, and in the .xcb file.
How do I get rid of these unused resource symbols ? |

Good question. I do not think you can delete these symbols.
I think they are default names given to common controls. So that
means you are forced to use these symbols or give them another name
from within the designer. You can always delete the unused
symbols from the .bas file. The only down side to this is you
have to accept the number assigned to the ID by the designer. It
appears this feature is not included with the designer. Anyone
else have any ideas?

Thanks SuperMario.
I guess I can live with the default common control names always being there. But I have the same problem (not being able to get rid of the symbol) if I create a new control (non-common) and delete it again. Anyone ? |

I see what you mean. I think this may be a bug or oversite.
I tried everything I could think of to get rid of the symbols, both
standard and custom. Hopefully they will add a detete button or
automatically delete them when the control is deleted. I guess
all you can do now is use one of the standard names and make some up of
your own. You can change the names of the standard controls when
selected. For now, just delete the extras from the .bas file once
you add it to your application.

I've seen several limitations with the Designer Studio as well, and have reported these items to Codejock (including not being able to get rid of resource symbols). Why don't we use this thread to communicate what we'd like to see in the designer. The designer is a GREAT tool for building menus and toolbar, but there are some areas which, if improved, would make the tool even better. Here are my ideas so far:
I think that covers most of my comments, and I hope others will post their suggestions as well. Like I said, the Designer Studio is great for quickly building your application's menu and toolbars. Hopefully Codejock will incorporate some of our suggestions to make it even better. |

Hi Boyd!
I fully agree with all your points above. Does Codejock read this, or do we need to post your suggestions somewhere else too ? |

I've actually sent all of these items to Codejock using their 'Feature Request' form, but I never got a response. Actually, I've never gotten a response from anything sent via the 'Feature Request' or 'Bug Report' forms, so I stopped using those forms. I did have a discussion with Oleg in the forums about support for ICO files, and I think they're going to consider it. I don't know if 32-bit alpha icons are part of that plan. Once we have some good feedback about other suggestions for the Designer Studio, maybe we can e-mail Codejock for their feedback (if we haven't already gotten it here). |
