bTonga - 0.5.10

Posted by: Samiuela LV Taufa on December 09, 2005 1:05:13 PM

A few useability updates to make the app more functional.

Insert Link & Insert Image now implemented as both a context menu and Edit menu feature.

Use of menu and toolbar on various WYSIWYG controls works but requires right mouse button clicking on the control you want to use the toolbar on.

Version number in Help | About reflects the same number as the Build Release

Expected Control Key Settings

Hooked up expected behaviour for certain control keys.

Ctrl+S will save

Ctrl+O will open an existing file

Ctrl+N will create a new Entry

Other standadrd control combinations are not hooked to the main toolbar/window because (strangely?) the WYSIWIG controls already have them hooked and at the moment I don't know which is the better approach (especially since I can't get the focus information correctly [yet])

Expected Form Exit Behaviour

I think it's all figured out, but the app should now as you to save changes if you exit through any of the three exit points (File | Exit, or Close X, or Close Alt+F4)

Inserts.

This is a feature I've suddenly had the need to use, and I wanted to see about avoiding the Source View tab.

Menu/Toolbar.

I continue to have a problem that the WYSIWIG controls don't seem to get the "Focus" event or similar that I can use to tell the toolbar/menu which text it is supposed to work on.

Two work arounds exist:

Use the context menus (this will soon become too cluttered, and unfortunately doesn't support little graphics [for now])
Right Mouse Click on the text area you want to use (i.e. show the context menu) and the control will now have focus and you can use the menu bar/toolbar or continue to use the context menus.

Version Number.

I guess the build numbers don't associate in anyway with the Assembly Numbers so I now have to keep these two in synch for the Help | About box to be more 'correct.'

Other Notes on 0.5.19

I am currently planning of overhauling the file format (currently an XML Serialisation) to include encryption of stored data.
