digitalmars.D.announce - Entice Designer 0.8.5 release - now supports DWT

Entice Designer 0.8.5 now adds support for designing DWT shells and  
widgets, as well as DFL forms and controls!

New in this version:
  * Added support for designing DWT shells and widgets.
  * Added DWT autocomplete information; must be enabled.
  * Improved API Viewer.
  * Slightly changed autocomplete lists.

Download and more information:
    http://www.dprogramming.com/entice.php

Here is a screenshot using DWT:

Other screenshots found on the Entice page.

Entice also makes a good code editor, if you're not intersted in a GUI  
builder.

Note that the new DWT support does not mean DFL will be abandoned; DFL is  
actually getting many updates, and both libraries have their own pros and  
cons.

There has also been a minor maintenance update to DFL, version 0.9.7.01:
    http://www.dprogramming.com/dfl.php
Note that the testing snapshots include these changes and more.

Nice work!
That means my ideas on the dwt wiki page meaningless?

Not at all.  The more the merrier! :)

There will always be plenty of opportunities for alternatives. The right 
mixture of resources, interest, and motivation is all that's necessary.

Many thanks for this valuable contribution, Chris. I'm hoping both dfl 
and dwt continue to grow more popular. :)

Incidentally, I've been testing the pre-releases of Entice leading up to 
this announcement, and dwt users might be interested to know that Entice 
also runs on Linux under the Wine emulator.   Also, Entice dwt output 
should be buildable on both linux or windows.

I look forward to seeing future releases of Entice Designer as it 
progresses towards a comprehensive IDE.

Once again, great work!

Wow, great!
Thanks for this Chris. A GUI designer for DWT was asked for many times.

Do you plan to add support for Layouts in future?

Yes, eventually. I'll need to familiarize myself with them first.

I'm getting some assert errors with this version. Two in particular I 
can reproduce, when I attempt to create a new file, I get:
AssertError Failure dfldesigner(7751)

And if I try to copy an object in the dialog editor:
AssertError Failure ddcontrolchildren(2274)

I've tried deleting my settings file, but I'm still getting these errors.

Thanks for reporting this.

The first error is because I rearranged some code, and the assert was  
ensuring the old order. The code was fine except the assert. Perhaps I  
need to assert my asserts are valid :P
You can work around it by making sure at least one tab is open; my tests  
passed because I have the Start Page up.

I can't seem to figure out the second error. That code path shouldn't  
happen. Can you give me a small source file that reproduces it? Also, the  
error log has more information that might be helpful, it can be viewed in  
Help->About.

I'll try to have a fix up soon.

Nevermind, I see it. I'll have the fix soon.

Fixed, thanks.

Were you getting other assertion failures? Even if you can't reproduce it,  
please let me know the messages. Help->About should log it.

Thanks for the quick update :)

Sorry, but I don't have the error log anymore. When deleting the 
settings, I simply deleted the folder in application data. If I do get 
any more errors though, I'll post them here.

Worth noting is that the video shows DWT in use, and the code works just fine
with dwt-linux. Entice is definitely a useful designer for Linux GUI's.
