Yet another update of FlairBuilder

by Cristian Pascu on April 16, 2009

Hi all!

Those of you already using FlairBuilder have probably noticed that a new update was pushed up last night. It brings some minor bug fixes as well as improvements and a new component. Let’s take them one by one.

A new component: Search field. That is, the classic Mac OS search field that most of you are familiar with. With this component, a need for a new event trigger came up: Keyboard ENTER event. That is, when the user types something in and presses Enter, you’d like to take action. Now it’s possible to do just that as depicted in the following screenshot.

Keyboard ENTER event trigger is also available for text boxes. Say, for instance, that you are implementing a Login screen or any type of form and you’d like to submit that form when the user hits Enter. Cool, isn’t it? :-)

I have refine the formatting available for text components. Now the already implemented formats (_underline_, /italic/, *bold* and [http link]) are also available for checkboxes, labels, text boxes… Ups, I think I forgot radio buttons, I’ll add it right away. Man, I feel silly! :p Anyways, the checkbox also may go multiline if needed. Here’s a picture that worths more than I can say:

checkbox-label

An important bug fix. Alt+Drag now duplicates the entire selection and not only the clicked component. Thanks to gianouts for reporting this.

Here’s another screen shot with the formattings applied to a Paragraph component.

Again, various bug fixes that fortunately no one else but me have noticed. I am a happy FlairBuilder user! :-) I’ll post a series of FlairBuilder made sample on this website soon so everybody will see the wonders that my little app can do.

Stay tuned!
