I don’t know what you want to call it, but I wrapped up the rest of the properties panel and plain vanilla code gen. VERY minimal testing, so let me know what breaks, as I’m sure something will.
Tomorrow I’ll probably add support for an option to generate a full class as well as the list of components as you see now.
After that, I’ll release the source, but I warn you, it’s pretty ugly. Long lists of if/else and switch statements. A sweet target for some refactoring with some strategy pattern, but I’ll leave that up to anyone more ambitious than me. If anyone wants to tackle containers while they’re at it, I’d welcome it. 🙂
congratulations man! very useful. cheers
man this is really an awesome tool! no worries on the long switches i’m sure we’re all use to them 😛
i’m sure a nice xml2component parser would be helpful… also tabs! 🙂
Hm, i’ve tried to copy to clipboard the code and here it’s: ‘var myInputText:InputText = new InputText(this, 250, 190, “InputText”);’
I thought it will copy the whole class, not the instance init code 🙂
But, the design – rocks ! ^_^
ps: will u ever publish those?
That’s really cool, I dig it.
Bugs I found:
– The whole thing throws an angry fit when you put a non valid amount in any of the properties.
– When you open the designer in a new tab in Firefox it starts the stage way off in the upper left, which was a bit weird until I figured out that I could move it ( http://kylekellogg.com/MinimalDesignerBug.png for reference)
Other than those two things this is really great 😀
Jloa, as I said, “Tomorrow I’ll probably add support for an option to generate a full class…” 🙂
Kyle, thanks. I think I fixed those things now. Stupid firefox.
Very cool minimal design. Similar in some respects to the Balsamiq Mockups AIR application, but unique in it’s own right (goals of the programs probably differ). Anyway, great work. I look forward to the progression of this tool.
Hi Keith,
don’t know whether this thread is still living … I would love to use the source code of MinimalDesigner to implement a GUI myself. Any place to download still?
And by the way – will you move to html5 with your concept?
regards,
Wolfgang
