Dialog Builder in VW2023

[Gonda]

Hey All,

 

So, installed the Dialog Builder through the Partner Products section...

 

Once I restarted VW, I did see the DB Floating Tool Palette but it only has 4 items:

A. Test Run

B. Tools

C. Renumberer

D. Static Text

 

I've poked around the workspace editor to see if I was missing something (menu, adding tools to the palette, etc), but for the life of me I can't find the tools to actually layout things in DB (buttons, text boxes, popup's, etc)...

 

Am I just missing something incredibly obvious?  Is DB broken?

 

Running VW2023 SP4 on MacOS Ventura on Apple Silicon.

 

Cheers,

The layout items are all plug-in objects; insert a static text item and then change it's type to the desired item. Note, you are building more of a connected tree than a visual layout, a lot like marionette, so what you see in the VW document looks nothing like the resulting dialog.

The documentation is far out of date.  Do as @JBenghiat suggests and you can accomplish everything you need to with the DB.

As Josh said place a static text item and then change the item type.  Do this with the pop up menu in the OIP.
