nightly build dialogs

[abri]

Some users (like I for instance) work the old fashioned way: mainly with keyboard.
Please fix the TAB ordering of the dialog controls.
Thanks.

Oh, yes - this has been bugging me as well. Have to see if there is a quick way without rebuilding the entire user interface though. Thanks for the suggestion!

[abri]

you just have to edit the .rc files..

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

True, but they are not that short, neither will they remain ordered once we make more changed in the future If it's going to take a day or two of rearranging instead of 10 minutes, we better fix some crashes first. Will check if there's anything that can automate it...

the only way to make this once and forever is to make a tool that process the rc files, otherwise every change in the UI will break the tab ordering again

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Yup, exactly.

afair resedit has automized sorting. but maybe there's also a plugin for VS.
usually the gui should not change that often and when adding something new to it, it is just 20 seconds more for properly inserting it. sdk programmers are used to this standard process.

[Ivaylo Katev]

it must be automated by us, with respect to the max UI specifics

[abri]

i would write a litte vbscript..
