How to place a listbox and a checkbox on the same line?

 

I don't think it is possible using IndirectUI.

[BoltBait]

@null54 is correct. Each control requires its own line.

@BoltBait I don't think this was intentional. 

 

Nor this

If I had received a notification when you posted it - You would have had this sooner.

The issue was caused when I ran Codelab a second time.

Hope this helps

As mentioned to you before, this is a bug with the Plugin Browser.  I'll try to release a bugfix release later today.

[AndrewDavid]

 

I just discovered those two files were in a separate directory. If after running Plugin browser and then going into Codelab is the bug, then OK. I have never had a problem with the plugin browser itself. Maybe I don't use it enough to cause a crash but I do use it to ensure builds reflect the proper information.

How to get width and height of an image?

[Rick Brewster]

Just use Environment.Document.Size

[AndrewDavid]

It renders in preview just fine.

[AndrewDavid]

I don't believe it. Now it works. After trying for hours to figure it out. I think the issue is what I had attached as a help file (RTF)

Yeah, that seems to be broken.

How? I want to get the width and height of an image inside a loop:

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
	for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
	{
		if (IsCancelRequested)
			return;

		for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
		{
			ColorBgra srcPixel = src[x, y];
			ColorBgra dstPixel = dst[x, y];

			// Here

			dst[x,y] = CurrentPixel;
		}
	}
}

 

[Rick Brewster]

First, I recommend implementing a "Bitmap" Effect, not a "classic" Effect. You need the latest CodeLab for this. Then you'll have access to Environment.Document.Size, as well as all the other new stuff.

 

The classic effect system is going to be deprecated soon (i.o.w. it'll be marked with [Obsolete] attributes, and you won't be able to compile for it), so there's no point in learning or using that system anymore. Bitmap Effect and GPU Image/Drawing Effect are the new replacements.

[toe_head2001]

The next version of CodeLab will have improved Dark theming.

i.e. More controls are now themed.

In my week of playing with CodeLab I've found the following issues (or I'm misunderstanding something):

 

1. Rich text help doesn't work on anything but classic plugins. Providing a rich text help and then trying to build gets you errors like this:

Error at line -104: The type or namespace name 'SizeF' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)
Error at line -100: The type or namespace name 'Size' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)
Error at line -92: The name 'Icon' does not exist in the current context (CS0103)
Error at line -92: The type or namespace name 'Bitmap' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)
Error at line -81: The type or namespace name 'Point' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)
Error at line -70: The type or namespace name 'Font' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)

 

My C# knowledge is limited, but that seems like it's not including some namespace it should be using? Works on a classic plugin.

 

2. Default values for many controls are acting weird: string and multiline string have no way of providing a default value, the value you put inside the definition seems to work if you read it but it's not visible on the UI. Reseed control accepts a default value, but it doesn't work on a compiled plugin, only inside CodeLab - it starts always at 0 as a standalone effect.

 

3. From what I understand adding a reseed button is supposed to add a Random into the class, but it's inaccessible: the RandomNumber member or its seeds are not visible to the script.

 

4. You're allowed to check the Straight alpha/Working space gamma build options for a non-GPU plugin, but if you do, it adds a malformed render info flags into the generated code and it won't compile. Maybe should be disabled, or at least not try to add non-existent flags?

Thanks for the bug reports. I will address these in the next release of CodeLab.

Probably System.Drawing, which generally should not be used in GPU or Bitmap effects.

Yes, @toe_head2001 already checked in a fix for that issue.  We just needed to specify the names because we removed System.Drawing from our using list for GPU effects.

Hi there! Thank you all for CodeLab being an awesome "plugin". However, I couldn't find a way to use default/non-integrated adjustments and non-integrated effets. Is there any?

Paint.NET 5.0.1.1

CodeLab 6.10

What, EXACTLY, are you trying to use?
