[edit] Comments on the content

Added some more stuff to the broam listing. It needs a better arrangement of lists, and possibly better English. The lists could be added to the end of the section, and have a hyperlink to them instead, too, I guess.--Pkt-zer0 15:08, 17 March 2006 (PST)

If you have an idea for broam listing, we could make a template out of it and then everyone could use the same thing for broam display. --Tres`ni 10:18, 21 March 2006 (PST)

[edit] Tutorial Ideas

The tutorial doesn't introduce the user to a couple of BBI elements (labels, sliders)and functions yet, and that would be nicer, probably. I also would've liked to attach an image ([1]), but it's not horribly important. I haven't included info on the unofficial 0.9.62y+ versions, either.--Pkt-zer0 14:24, 24 February 2006 (PST)

I'm working on adding uploading abilities. Why don't we merge the 2 current tutorials [the one in the article and Jimmy's] to make 1 master tutorial at BBInterface Tutorial. Then we can break it down in chapters and what not for better flow. --Tres`ni 10:18, 21 March 2006 (PST)
Also, should the Controls section be part of the tutorial? --Tres`ni 10:19, 21 March 2006 (PST)
I've yet to check Jimmy's tutorial, but I doubt controls could be explained in greater detail in a tutorial that still remains efficient and straight-to-the-point. So there should be both - the tutorial mentioning a few specific uses for a control, whereas the other, more extensive documentation would provide in-depth info on every feature.--Pkt-zer0

[edit] Tutorial Grammar

Would anyone object to me editing Jimmy's BBI Tutorial? There're a few grammatical errors and a couple spelling errors. I gather that English isn't his primary language. But his English is far better than most of the trash proliferating the internet, that is for sure. :) --Xavier-DL 05:19, 20 March 2006 (PST) P.S.: I have little else to contribute at this time to the wiki, save my innate ability to spot spelling and grammatical errors at ten paces!

Please feel free to edit any spelling and grammatical erros you find. Just note that I moved that tutorial to BBInterface Tutorial Jimmy --Tres`ni 10:18, 21 March 2006 (PST)

[edit] Feature wishlist

All the things you'd like to see added to this plugin go here.

  • (Done) Up/Down actions for all mouse buttons
Checked it out, probably can be done fairly easily. This can lead to a more cluttered editing interface, though.--Pkt-zer0
What about doing something like OnClick RButton, OnClick LButton, etc. Use it as an optional with AnyButton being the default -- Tres`ni 20:00, 9 March 2006 (PST)
  • Dock controls to corners
  • (Done) User selectable color1 and color2 gradients
  • User selectable fonts
  • (Done) Polish infix notation interpreter for integers -- Pkt-zer0
  • More powerful user-created variable handling -- Pkt-zer0
  • Extended image support even for non-GDI+ versions -- Pkt-zer0
  • OnMouseOver action
  • Fixed alpha transparency
  • Font shadow support
  • there is also a current issue on string size on controls. Can this be fixed?
I'm not sure if there really is, or at least where that comes from. Text field made through the StaticText agent are dynamically allocated to contain the full string that's specified. -- Pkt-zer0
  • An option to enable or disable beveling. User override of blackbox's style setting.
I have mixed feelings about this, but I guess a user wouldn't have to override style settings. I have a feeling BBInterface scripts are going to get a lot more complicated, lol. --Malnilion 06:00, 27 March 2006 (PST)
  • Text alignments as a property of the caption, rather than the control itself. -- Pkt-zer0
  • (Done) 'Edit modules' menu
  • Text input object

^I'm being picky, I know, but I think it would be nice if people would sign their feature requests here on this discussion page --Malnilion 06:00, 27 March 2006 (PST)
