Compiler toolbar width
« on: January 12, 2014, 02:47:33 pm »
Hello,

Is it possible to increase the width of the compiler toolbar ?

I have some long target titles (for example "GCC x86 Release wx300 - VERBOSE") which are not visible in full in the combo box and can be easily mingled with some others starting identically (for example "GCC x86 Release wx300 - PRELOADED").

--
EDIT : I succeeded to enlarge the toolbar playing with the CompilerToolbar options (bestw and minw values) in default.conf, but it doesn't change the combox-box width inside the toolbar.

Try doing this. I forgot where the compilergcc xrc are located; but, IIRC you can just edit then and the next time CB is started the size would be larger.

Thanks, Stahta. I can't try just now, but I'll do it asap...

The best option would be if we can add an option, so every user can set this up himself.
Unfortunately we can't make this size-automatically, because it will mess the layout of the toolbars.

@stahta : I finally found possibility to try and it works (modified the XRC as you said, resetted default.conf to let C::B autocomputes the best size around the combo-box, then rebuilt the workspace and ran update.bat to renew output). Thanks again. Quite more comfortable now :)

@obfuscated : so, maybe just a free field in which user would be warned that any change is made under his own responsibility... Or a kind of INI like file gathering all these kind of customizations which would be outside of the standard (e.g. the way it was done with a software like Eudora under Windows : a lot of advanced options in the .ini file and most only modifiable by hand).

Why would you want to put it hidden?
Somewhere in the options is good enough I think...

By hand is not hidden, Obfuscated, but it exempts to implement an exposition in the UI (so, quicker to implement) for options that some only will use.

Code::Blocks does not have an ini-style conf-file, but an xml-file (usually default.conf). Tweaking such files by hand is really dangerous and can lead to crashes.

I know the current conf is saved in XML format, Jens. The idea was just to ad a kind of "extra_conf.ini"... But it's just an idea. I'm not a C::B dev, but a user one.
