DesignerThe following designers are currently available:
The Frame Designer is a GUI building view on wxFrame type modules
that cooperates closely with the Inspector. It is used to select, size and position controls.
It maintains the _init_ctrls method.
Multiple selection is supported by holding down shift while
selecting controls. Only sibling controls can be in a multiple selection.
Selections can be cut, copied and pasted to and from the clipboard in the Frame Designer
and the DataView. When a selection is copied, the equivalent code is put on the clipboard and
can also be pasted directly into your source code.
Layout Anchors have been integrated with the Frame Designer.
If a control has any anchors set, it will show the selection tags as a shade of blue instead of black.
Right click on a top, bottom, left or right selection tag to set or unset the
anchor.
When a designer is opened a session is started. When you end the
session, either by posting or cancelling, all your changes will be applied
to the source.
Closing the Designer frame also ends the session and posts the changes.
While the designer is open for a module, the source code will be read-only.
A Data View will also be opened inside the Editor associated with the Designer
and closed on posting / cancelling.
This will usually be the last view of the module in the Editor named 'Data'.
It maintains the _init_utils method.
Non visual controls located on the Utilities page of the Palette must be created/inspected in this view.
Collection Editors maintain list like properties.
Selecting an item will display it's properties and events in the Inspector.
Each maintain a _init_coll_* method.
