Hi,

Could someone explain to me what happens, did I do something wrong

or this is ClassDesigner issue.

I try to explore twitterClient application with ClassDesigner:

1) change directory to twitterClient\ui

2) start ClassDesigner

3) open tweezerForm.cdxml definition at start (class, properties and

method forms

are shown) - everything is ok so far

4) from CD File menu I open another class file - tweet.cdxml, but new

class form didn't shows

and method form shows tweetPanel code instead

5) now I close all three forms, but ClassDesigner remains active in

background,

what wouldn't happen if I omit step 4.

Why in such situation CD remains active in background and is this

feature or bug?

Regards

While I try to handle this as well as possible, it's almost =

always =20

better to start from the project's home directory.

Maybe the window is off-screen or otherwise hidden? Does its =

name =20

appear in the Window menu?

That tells me that the window is open; you just can't see it for =

some =20

reason.

One thing you might try is to go all the way through Step 5, and =

then =20

select 'Command Window' from the File menu. That should open up an =20

interactive session window, and in that window 'self' refers to the =20

window that was active when the menu option was selected. In the =20

Command Window, run the command: self.Position =3D (50, 50)

... and see if the design surface pops into view.

It is definitely hidden. Winspector detect "tweet" form in screen

boundaries but it remains invisible.

And I don't have the Window menu.

I tried self.Show() but without success. Any ideas?

And when I try to open tweet.cdxml definition at startup,

CD didn't start at all.

When you run the Class Designer, you don't have a Window menu? =20=

Something is very wrong then.

First, Show() (with a capital 'S') is the wx-layer call; the =

Dabo =20

method is show() with a lower-case 's'.

Second, I don't believe that it's invisible; I think that it's =

off-=20

screen. Did you try using the Position setting?

OK, I think I see the problem. I'm getting an error when I try =

to do =20

that, too. There might be something wrong with the class itself.

=09

I don't have time to work on this now, but I'll look into it =

more =20

tonight and let you know what I find.

OK. I tried both without success.

I'm sure it's hidden. Winspector has "Highlight" feature that shows

position in left upper quarter of screen.

Well, I was close: there was something in the class that triggered a

bug in the Class Designer. This is now fixed in the latest Subversion

commit.
