IDE Tools/Form Designer

Post by IdeasVacuum »

Selecting Form Designer from the Tools Menu (or Alt+V) adds the Form Tab to the Side Panel.

That's fine, but how do you later remove it from the Side Panel?

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

I am not able to reproduce this, here. Only Preferences with add/remove the Form Panel.

....Just tried it on PB5.20beta8x64, Win7 x64.

For a start, the side panel already has 4 tabs by default (1 tab by default on WinXP x86???).

Indeed, if I remove the Form tab via preferences, selecting from the Tools Menu or using Alt-V displays a seperate form, not adding a tab to the side panel. Strange that there is so much difference between the two Windows OSs. Hopefully it is possible to add/remove tabs via preferences on x86 - I'll give that a go as soon as my 4TB backup has finished (maybe mid-December lol).

Update - Can indeed remove the Form tab via preferences - and having done so, Alt-V does not put it back. Something clearly not quiet right but at least it can be untangled easily.
