TagBox Tag Editing Plugin, UI Element Options

[Arash]

Hello Everybody,

I needed something like this but couldn't find any so I wrote it myself!
It is something like an editable "properties" window in a UI element with "quick tagger" like features and a little more.

Here is more info and download link.

Check it out and let me know what you think

because I guess it's DUI element and not CUI panel

some issues to throw:

- input boxes are not correctly right aligned
- drop-down on windows 7 doesn't look good



after pressing Ctrl or Shift this dialog pops:



other than that works fine for multivalue fields like genre, style, etc
adding new fields if fine too, so looks good to me
thanks

I'm on XP, actually this is the first time I'm seeing a screenshot of TagBox in Windows 7. I don't know what I can do about the drop-downs if Windows 7 shows them like that but I should take care of the alignment thing. I need to install 7 in a virtual machine and see what I can do.

after pressing Ctrl or Shift this dialog pops:

That a seems to be a debug message which interestingly doesn't show up in XP, that's why I missed it. Thanks for letting me know. I fixed it (hopefully).

Couldn't just increasing the height by 2px solve the problem?
And now when I'm replying again, I wanted to know if it's possible to incorporate auto-complete feature, like properties dialog does

So you have problem with the spacing of the drop-downs! I thought you don't like the Windows 7 style The thing is I have tried to make the UI Element as compact as possible. My own TagBox has 28 fields, increasing the spacing by 2px makes the element 56 pixels taller and that's too much. But maybe I can make the field spacing optional through the preferences page later.

I like the idea of auto-complete feature but I don't know how's that usually implemented so I need to do some research. On to-do list.

BTW I fixed the right alignment problem too.
