ViP 9x Dialogs in Vip 10x project
Posted: 5 Dec 2021 13:24
Thomas,
When I migrate a 9x dialog into a 10x project, the .dlg file is preserved and the Test Mode option behaves like it did in 9x, i.e., the dialog displays without the grid lines and clicking OK closes the test dialog, unlike 10x dialogs which requires clicking the [X] in the upper right corner to close ... and then requires re-opening the dialog being edited.
So, it appears that 10x preserves 9x dialog (and I presume form) editing in the original manner, but uses its own different mode for newly created dialogs. I am thinking that it might be better (for me) to create dialogs in 9x and then move them to 10x ... unless there are features in the 10x editor I am not seeing.
What would be a really nice future feature (for me) would to have a right-click option for the <dialogName>.dlg file in the dialog file tree that would Copy the dialog files to create a new dialog in the current project or to a different project.
What are your thoughts?
