Hi Benoît,

 

we're using gambas about 6 years. Now we take a look at gambas3 and have two questions:

 

1. Why did you make the spacing property of a container to a boolean, instead of leaving it as an integer? It's really frustrating, that we can't set the space between textboxes to 1 pixel automatically (by using arrangement), without changing the whole font-size of the system.

If there's a user who has problems with his eyes and set the system font higher, the space between textboxes (and other controls) will get really big, so some formulars are no longer displayable on his screen. There would a big space loss.

 

2. If we set the space between textboxes by code to 1 pixel and set the border property to none, it looks like the space between the textboxes iss et to 7 pixel. This is because the border in gambas3 just turns to transparent. This issue doesn't exist in gambas1 and gambas2. Here the textboxes "resize" to fit to the border, when the border is set to none. Here we have to rewrite each arrangement function to manage this.

 

Do you see any chance to change these things?

Regards

Andreas
