You're not setting the property though?

 

Correct. Only reading.

K I'll rush out a new build that re-publics the getter 

[Rick Brewster]

Ok done

[kuenzign]

I'm getting the following exception when trying CodeLab 6.7 on the new Paint.NET Beta 5.0:

System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
   at ScintillaNET.Scintilla.DirectMessage(Int32 msg, IntPtr wParam, IntPtr lParam)

Crash log is attached.

Added crash log

[toe_head2001]

@kuenzign, do you have any steps to reproduce the crash?

[kuenzign]

I just opened CodeLab and it crashed with that exception.  Although I just updated to the second beta and now it appears to no longer occur.

@BoltBait would you consider publishing CodeLab in the Microsoft Store? Not only you'll get an easier way for people to get it and to receive installs, but also you'll get the Store to sign the application for you for free 🙂

 

A developer license costs 19$ (just once) and gives you unlimited code signing use 😄

Tiny problems.

Auto update tries to update CodeLab v6.7 to CodeLab v6.6.

Theme: Auto doesn't reflect PDN setting, need to set CodeLab theme separately.

PDN v5.0 build 8382 / CodeLab v6.7

I believe Paint.NET-in-the-Store has to be set up for this first. That is, having a secondary plugin catalog that comes from Store-installed packages.

Yes, this has already been fixed for the next release.

Good thing there's nothing "Auto" about the update check; it's just a notification to download. 😉

You're right though, this can be improved.

 

EDIT: update checking has been improved for the next release of CodeLab.

[ReMake]

I'm trying to compile an example for Double Vector from @BoltBait's Sample Code for User Interface Elements.

Spoiler

// Author: Curtis
#region UICode
PanSliderControl Amount1 = Pair.Create(0.0,0.0); // Position
#endregion

void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect)
{
   Rectangle selection = EnvironmentParameters.SelectionBounds;
   ColorBgra PrimaryColor = EnvironmentParameters.PrimaryColor;

   int width = selection.Right - selection.Left;
   int height = selection.Bottom - selection.Top;

   // converts the Pair values to between 0 and 1
   // where 0 is the left/top and 1 is the right/bottom.
   double px = (Amount1.First + 1) / 2;
   double py = (Amount1.Second + 1) / 2;

   // we can now convert these to actual pixel co-ordinates.
   int column = (int)Math.Round(px * width);
   int row = (int)Math.Round(py * height);

   for (int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
   {
      for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
      {
         if (x == column || y == row)
         {
            dst[x,y] = PrimaryColor;
         }
         else
         {
            dst[x,y] = src[x,y];
         }
      }
   }
}

 

I replaced Amount1.First and Amount1.Second with Amount1.X and Amount1.Y . Is this replacement correct?

Yes, but you also need to change the Amount1 declaration.

 

PanSliderControl Amount1 = new Vector2Double(0.000, 0.000); // Position

 

[ReMake]

Is there currently a solution for using the Black-and-White Clouds effect in CodeLab v6.7?

 

Spoiler

// Clouds
    // Use this line instead of the next for Black-and-White clouds:
    cloudsEffect.EnvironmentParameters = new EffectEnvironmentParameters(ColorBgra.Black, ColorBgra.White, 0, EnvironmentParameters.DocumentResolution, EnvironmentParameters.GetSelectionAsPdnRegion(), src);
    //cloudsEffect.EnvironmentParameters = EnvironmentParameters;
    cloudsProps = cloudsEffect.CreatePropertyCollection();  

 

 

Replacing EffectEnvironmentParameters() with CreateFrom() requires a using directive or an assembly reference?

[toe_head2001]

You if only care about Black for Primary and White for secondary, you can use the DefaultParameters.

 

cloudsEffect.EnvironmentParameters = EffectEnvironmentParameters.DefaultParameters;

 

@Rick Brewster

In Pdn v5, the EffectEnvironmentParameters constructor was marked as obsolete. Since it's part of the Legacy effect system, are you willing to roll back that change until the entire legacy effect system is killed off?

[Rick Brewster]

You're trying to create an EEP who's primary/secondary color are specifically set to Black and White?

 

(a better pattern here is that the Clouds effect should just take the colors as property values -- but we can't go back in time and change that!)

It works. Thank you, @toe_head2001.

I am currently rebuilding my effects for PDN5 (so far these are 'cosmetic' changes).
