Here is a list of the new features available in version 1.3:
-
Name change. The program formerly known as dlgedit has evolved to
include projects and a pixmap editor. It has become more than a simple
dialog editor, so a name change was in order.
-
Updated to use the new features in Qt 1.31.
-
Added a pixmap editor. A editor for pixmaps is included so that images
may be defined for use in Qt. Source code for the creation of the
image in Qt is generated. Future releases of qtarch will integrate
the pixmaps into the dialog editor.
-
Added support for QBoxLayout. Box layouts can be created for a window.
Spacing, stretch, widgets, and other box layouts can be inserted into a
box layout. Support for layouts will be developed further in future
releases, including grid layouts.
-
Extra widget properties were added: min and max sizes and widget flags
for the window.
-
The .dlg file format has changed slightly, but is backwards compatible.
-
The window classes can now be derived from a user-supplied base class.
-
Keyboard accelerators were added.
-
Ctrl and Alt keys with a number now add widgets
-
The cursor keys can be used to move the currently selected widgets
-
The cursor keys along with the Shift key will resize the currently selected
widgets
-
The Return key will bring up the property dialog for the selected widget
-
Others, as indicated in the menus.
-
Double-clicking on a widget brings up the property dialog for the widget.
-
"Shrink-to-fit" for widgets. The widget will shrink its size to the
value of its size hint.
