Old Discussion About Dig
old discussion about DIG
What do you need that dig doesn't do? Where are its problems or limitations? -- HelmutLeitner
- Well, there're some things. First, I wanted a MDI application: dig doesn't seem to support them. Now, having 3 frames/windows at once seems to be a problem because they leave traces behind them. I don't know how to explain it... I move one of them, but the previous position remains for a while. Weird. Also, windows don't update so well. There're a couple of things more, but they're related to the library (and some are related to the language/compiler). -- CarlosSantander
- So I should tell the gc to run in some parts of my code? -- CarlosSantander
- There's something else about dig. I can't (either because there's no way or because I don't know how) specify the initial position of a frame. Something else, I don't know how to use rendered fonts. Maybe that's not the correct term, but I want my texts to look with soft edges. I hope you get the idea. -- CarlosSantander
- Child windows. Wrong: main window (note to self: think before writing). Yes, this wouldn't be too dificult, but I can't be changing dig here and there to fit my needs. I'd like dig to be complete enough to do so.
- Maybe there is a lack of documentation. dig.Form is a Control. control.d shows a number of methods (left, right, width, widthAndHeight) that should be applicable before frame.showModal();. Can't you use them? -- HelmutLeitner

- Exactly. I use WinXP?, and this works with other applications (that's how I noticed it: I was comparing button sizes and zooming in I noticed the other app's texts were not only black dots, but a bit grayed), but it's the same case as before. Do I hack dig or do I make progress with the rad? Anyway, should this be set in the frame or in the font? Because I was playing with the lfOutPrecision member of the LOGFONT, but nothing has happened.
