Here is some initial feedback on Elevate Web Builder Version 3.00 Build 6 -

1) The 'New Unit' command causes an 'Invalid index' error if there is no active project in the IDE.

2) Shift + Tab drops the first non-space character if there are fewer leading space characters being removed than the current tab setting.

3) Popup menus in the IDE are being cropped at the border of the IDE main window.

4) The 'Find Declaration' command doesn't work within a unit or form until it is saved.  For example, in a new unsaved form, a 'Cannot find declaration for "TForm"' message will be displayed for 'TForm'.

5) I really like the new docked user interface and the tabbed format within the Navigator and Project Manager.  As well, I like having the X on the editor tabs to close a page.

6) Please consider adding a minimize setting to the ribbon area in the IDE.  Microsoft has done this in most applications and it is a great improvement.

7) Is there a setting to turn off the line numbers showing in the editor?

Rob,

Some of these I'll have to look into, but here are some comments:

<< 3) Popup menus in the IDE are being cropped at the border of the IDE main window. >>

I'll need an example of this - the popup menus aren't actually "real" windows popups, but they should position themselves so that they are always within the confines of the main form.  The only time that this isn't the case is when the main form is so small that the popup doesn't fit, and then it will get truncated.  The reason why these aren't real popups is because eventually the IDE is going to be developed using our own UI toolkit based upon EWB.

<< 6) Please consider adding a minimize setting to the ribbon area in the IDE.  Microsoft has done this in most applications and it is a great improvement. >>

I'll see what I can do.

<< 7) Is there a setting to turn off the line numbers showing in the editor? >>

Not currently, no.  There will be a round of code editor improvements after the initial release, and in that round I intend to deal with the rest of the various missing code editor settings, etc.  For example, there needs to be a setting for auto-indent, among other things.

Thanks,

Right click on any tree item within the Project Manager with the mouse pointer near the right edge of the IDE.

That doesn't appear to be working.

Okay, I thought that you were referring to the vertical space.  This is now fixed in build 7 coming out today.
